Mindfully Practicing Since 2015

In 2015, Elsie Brotherton was searching for her perfect yoga studio that had everything

she needed: 1) consistent hot power yoga classes at multiple, convenient times per day,

2) a welcoming space and encouraging music that deepens the experience, 3) a reliably

rewarding flow, regardless of the time or which instructor was leading. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, Elsie teamed up with John Irvin to create Highland Yoga.

 

Through our signature vinyasa flow style, intentional studio design, and meaningful community‑building, Highland Yoga has expanded to 10 locations in the Atlanta metro area, Athens, and Nashville. As we continue to grow, we commit to maintaining the quality of our classes and our community values.

Highland Yoga is a safe space for transformative yoga. We believe everyone deserves a great yoga practice, every class, every day. We empower students to mindfully connect with their most authentic selves and with others. We are a community that feels like family and a place that feels like home.

Elsie Brotherton,

Founder & Ceo

Elsie discovered yoga in 2010 when searching for tools to cope with stress during law school. In 2013, after having settled into her career as an attorney, Elsie completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and soon realized that she felt called to share her passion for yoga with others. The dream of Highland Yoga was born, and in 2015 Elsie took the leap from practicing attorney to full time yoga teacher and studio owner. 

​Elsie is a passionate teacher and business owner. She strives to infuse Highland Yoga with her deep love for power vinyasa, community and team-building, and good vibes. When she's not teaching yoga, Elsie enjoys hanging out at home with her daughter Billie and husband Bree in Serenbe, GA.
