10/10 recommend this place! I went to the Karma Hot Power Yoga class with Jessica and it’s the best hot yoga class I’ve ever done. I don’t consider myself advanced at yoga but she was a great instructor and everyone was very welcoming. This place is a Knoxville hidden gem!! More...

Poohqi heals! I had the best massage here! She got the knots outs of spots I have never had any other masseuse get knots out of. And, best part, it was trigger point massage without any of the usual pain afterward. I have been working out pretty hard for the past 8'ish months and really suck at stretching afterward. Seeing her every two - three weeks has immensely helped my body heal and recover. She is incredibly skilled, very cool, with a great playlist. Cannot recommend her enough! More...

Get a massage here! And get it with Shelagh! It was amazing the transformation she was able to make happen in just one hour. She took into account the stresses and tensions from my work as well as my hobbies and then targeted specific areas to perfection. The pressure was exactly right and she made sure I was comfortable throughout. Not to mention, two months ago I got stitches down the side of my pinky finger and haven’t been able to get it straight since, but in 5 mins she was able to release the muscles and my finger lay straight for the first time in the two months. Incredible. I cannot recommend Glowing Body enough! The entire place is very relaxed and thoughtful and you’ll walk away feeling better than ever More...

I had the most AMAZING massage session with Cynthia today, and I doubt anyone else will touch me again after her! She is truly talented and really worked on the areas I mentioned bothered me most. I have never had such a thorough massage, and I have never felt better. She is the first massage therapist to apply to pressure firm enough for my liking and needs, and she really worked deep! My back hasn’t felt this good in years! I will be back and recommend Cynthia to eve I know looking for a massage! More...

Erik's unconventional approach to fitness has helped me overcome a lingering shoulder injury. I highly recommend him if you struggle with chronic injuries or would like to focus on personalized strength training. He helps keep minor lingering issues from developing into bigger more chronic problems...and may also help you return to full activity levels without pain. It's great to be back to doing the things I want without limitation. Thank you, Erik! More...

If you're looking for a yoga community, you've come to the right place. I went to the Glowing Body through out college and I loved the variety of classes and class times they had to offer. The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I recently got a massage there from Whitney and couldn't be happier with the experience. All round awesome gem of a place. Highly recommend! More...

I am so happy I found Erik. Six years ago, I had a bike accident and landed really hard on my hip. Ever since then, I have sought to heal and strengthen my body. Yoga, Pilates, Barre, you name it, I have tried it all. And yet, I've still suffered with lots of back, leg, and foot pain. In my first session with Erik, I felt I learned more about my body pain and how to correct it than I did in all the years of yoga and pilates. He is truly a master when it comes to body mechanics. Had I just gone to a regular massage therapist, I would have come away feeling better, but I wouldn't have been given the tools to make myself feel better each and every day. There's an old saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." Erik teaches you how to fish. More...

I recently got a massage from Shelagh Leutwiler and it was AHHHMAZING. I have probably had 20 full body massages on my life and have never once had the massage therapist sit down with me prior to starting and actually ask me about my life, the reason I am there, areas I want to focus on, etc. Normally, they look at the questionnaire, ask a few questions, and carry on. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I felt 1000x better afterwards and she even went through some techniques I could try to alleviate my tension and some suggestions that might help relax me. I definitely recommend anyone looking for a great massage to visit her! On a side note-the studio as a whole was super cute, clean, and relaxing. I can’t wait to try a yoga class there! More...

I started going here because of a Curvy Yoga class series with Kristen McCutcheon. I was curious about yoga but couldn't see how it would work for my large body. After 10+ classes I'm hooked. Kristen knows how to modify poses for size and pain/injury issues. I'm so glad that these classes are now offered twice a week. More...

Let me start off by saying wow, I’ve been to many different places to train and none even come close to Erik. He took me from a weak out of shape person, to getting completely toned and in the best shape of my life. I feel amazing and gained the strength I so badly wanted.His training techniques are created for individual bodies types. On top of that he offers incredible massages that are unique and designed to whatever your muscles are in need of, just after one I felt like a new person. I can’t say enough good stuff about him, he’s so personal and professional. I never leave reviews but with an incredible experience like this I want to spread the word. You will not be disappointed one bit. You’ll be hooked after one visit. So glad I found this place!! More...

Glowing Body consistenly supports me in my practice. Even though I’ve been practicing yoga for over a decade, I still feel nervous going to class because I compare myself to other students. When I expressed that today to the owner, she was so compassionate. She helped me look at the monthly class calendar and not only strategize which classes would challenge my practice, but also affirmed that what I experience when I see other students is totally normal and talked about her own journey... I feel way more connected to myself and my community right now. THANK YOU!!!! More...

Erik has been my trainer & massage therapist for more than four years. I greatly value his knowledge of the body and how it works. And how he continues to explore and learn. The breadth & depth of his knowledge enables him to customize his work with you because he sees & respects our differences. The other thing I like is that he practices what he preaches. He’s a true role model in that way. As for impact or results, Erik has helped me heal my shoulder. The strength & power work we do has many benefits. I remember being pleasantly surprised when I’d be doing various tasks around the house...reaching, lifting, moving,...and feeling so more able. And when I’m consistent, I see results. When I’m sore, he can work magic. Here again, his knowledge of the body has him be very effective.
In short, I trust Erik, I respect his knowledge & practices, I enjoy him, and I get the results I’m looking for.
I highly recommend Erik as a trainer and massage therapist!!

Whitney Bennett is a wellness sorceress of the highest order. If Jon Gruden had received a massage from Bennett, he would have paid the Vols to coach here. It was perhaps the most relaxing hour and a half of my life and when it was over, I picked my melted body off of the table and didn't really know what to do with myself because I felt so good. Do yourself a favor and get a massage from her, pretty please with sugar on top. More...
