​​Welcome to Elevation Central
​
A boutique wellness retreat, training & integration center just outside Nashville, TN
​​
​​
Elevation Central was created as a place for reflection, practice, and meaningful connection.
​
People come here from Nashville and across the country to pause, practice, and reconnect with what matters most.
Founded by Nashville native Christy Lynn Hicks, the space grew from more than three decades of studying and teaching yoga philosophy, meditation, and human development. Her work explores how attention, nervous system regulation, and personal responsibility shape the way we live, relate, and lead.
​
Elevation Central was designed to bring that work into a physical environment. A place where insight becomes lived practice.
​
​
How Elevation Central Began
​
For many years, Christy led a thriving yoga studio and teaching center in Los Angeles called Yoga Blend, where thousands of students and hundreds of teachers deepened their practice and study.
​
When the studio closed in 2020 after fifteen years, she returned home to Tennessee and began building something new.
​
Elevation Central became the next chapter of that work. It is a space devoted to education, reflection, embodied practice, and conscious leadership.
​
Rather than creating a place to escape life, the intention was to create a space where people can step back, reconnect with themselves, and return to their lives with greater clarity, energy and responsibility.
