Formed in 2015, Nashville based rock band The Prescriptions have quickly become a “must see” act in the southeastern regional music scene. Following the release of their EP ‘Either Side’ in 2016, they have maintained a healthy performance schedule while continuing to move forward musically. On April 5th, 2019 the band will be releasing their first full length LP “Hollywood Gold” on Single Lock Records.
“Hollywood Gold, which is due out April 5th, 2019, demonstrates a considerable breadth in Hays Ragsdale Ragsdale’s writing, ranging from Laurel Canyon folk rock and Americana to echoes of vibey new wave and power pop.” –Billboard Magazine.
They will be live at Grimey’s New & Preloved Music (1060 East Trinity Lane) this Friday at 6pm. This is a great warm-up before the big day next Saturday with Record Store Day coming to Grimey’s.

It was a hot day in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was visiting college campuses on a college tour when we decided to go to the record shop. on that hot August day in 1994 was when I really learned how much I loved listening to the music of Branford Marsalis and the Marsalis family. That was the day I purchased and devoured his new album, “Buckshot LeFonque.”
Having a musical genius, I don’t use that term lightly, like Branford Marsalis coming to play at the Schermerhorn is a treat. The most recent album “The Secrets Between the Shadow and the Soul” is fantastic and I can’t wait to hear “Cianna” played in the gorgeous space of the Schermerhorn:
Don’t miss this Jazz legend live and in person, Friday, June 7th.
We love promoting good health and Yoga. One of our favorite places is Shakti Power Yoga. The schedule for this week is set and here is your chance to get feeling great as we head into the 2nd quarter of 2019.
Schedule of classes:
Mon April 01, 2019
6:00 am Shakti Power Flow Keri Newman Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour
7:30 am Shakti Power Flow Carol Anderson-Goodnight Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour
9:15 am Shakti Power Flow Kelly Farina-Carter Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour & 15 minutes
This heated class is inspired to ignite Shakti, the pure, boundless, creative energy within in each of us. The power vinyasa yoga practice is an invigorating, healing, detoxifying sequence that links movement of the body with the power of the breath. The practice is available to all, with modifications and variations of the poses. The practice builds strength, improves flexibility, magnifies your body’s energy, and calms your mind by focusing on the present moment and breath.
Community Power Flow classes are Shakti Power Flow classes for a $5 drop-in.
Shakti Strength
This 45 minute HIIT-inspired class blends strength training, cardio and power yoga. We created this practice to build muscle, get your heart rate going, and empower all fitness levels. With music to get you going and a heated room to help bring the sweat, Shakti Strength is a fun and lively full body workout. Get ready to sweat and shine!
Shiva Vinyasa
For students newer to yoga or experienced students who wish to reconnect with key elements of their yoga practice, this unheated class focuses on the fundamentals with an emphasis on breath and alignment. Students will be introduced to postures like basic backbends, twists, binds, and have the opportunity for movement, meditation, and relaxation.
Yin Yoga
A style of yoga that focuses on opening the connective tissues in the body, cartilage, ligaments, and joints. Yin Yoga is an unheated class that involves holding deep stretches for longer periods of time – 30 seconds to several minutes – relaxing the body in the poses, and finding stillness. This opening into the deep, dense tissues of the body provides expanded range of movement, healing and repair, lubrication of the joints, and opportunities for meditation. The energetic meridians of the body are believed to run in line with the body’s connective tissues, allowing you to clear and revitalize energetic pathways from your toes to your fingertips.
Restorative Yoga
Similar to Yin, this unheated restorative class with long holds compliments our Power Flow practice by relieving soreness and accumulated stress, improving posture and awareness of breath, and lengthening specific muscles in order to reestablish their ideal tone. This class offers a nourishing, opening practice that incorporates props such as bolsters, tennis balls, and blocks to facilitate healing, the release of tight muscles, trigger points, and surrounding connective tissues.
Awaken & Unwind
This gentle unheated vinyasa is designed to center, nourish and restore after a long week. A sweet slow flow is followed by a luxurious, extended savasana with healing essential oils. Leave feeling clear and refreshed for the week ahead.
Yoga in Life
This once-monthly 75 minute class is unheated and will incorporate meditations, reflective writing and personal inquiry to take the yoga practice from the mat to day to day life. We will gain insight into intentions and places we are stuck. Using this insight we open and heal ourselves and therefore all our relationships. All levels welcome. Please bring a journal and a writing utensil. There will be no yoga poses in this class, except for a comfortable seated position.
Third Wednesday of every month 6:30pm
Ashtanga Primary Series
This is an advanced, unheated practice and we advise that students have previous experience in vinyasa and/or ashtanga yoga asana. The Primary series as taught by K. Pattabhi Jois is practiced in its entirety at a group pace. This dynamic, precise, and progressive sequencing of yoga postures is accompanied by “free breathing with sound” as described by Sharath Jois. Quickly creating internal strength while resolving mental and structural imbalances this class includes full and half lotus positions, arm balances, back bends, and headstands.
Karma Yoga
This is our only 100% cash or check, donation-based class. All of the proceeds from this class are donated to a local or global nonprofit organization whose mission and work inspires us.

$5 Entry! All Ages (Always). Event will start at 6pm!
(A bit more info on the food project) The Nashville Food Project was born from the idea that ALL people should have access to the food they want and need. We know that one in six people in Nashville lacks access to enough food to sustain a healthy lifestyle. But we also know that more than 40% of all the food in our city goes to waste. Solutions to hunger take much more than simple handouts. Poverty, unemployment, low wages and escalating housing costs all contribute to the challenges that the most vulnerable residents of our city face.
If you’re like us you are awful at taking care of plants. Well, there is a cure for us on April 6th and the following April Saturdays at 11am at the Nashville Zoo.
Nashville Zoo and the Davidson County Master Gardeners are hosting gardening classes on Saturdays this April. The informal sessions cover a variety of topics, including composting, organic gardening and canning.
Spring gardening classes are free with Zoo admission and take place at from 11am – 12pm at the Grassmere Historic Farm gardens located behind the home. Master Gardeners leading the session will answer guests’ questions and provide handouts, soil sample kits, and other helpful items.
April 6: And Sow It Begins: Seed Starting and Composting
April 13: Can You Identify That Plant?
April 27: TBD
May 4: Planting Seeds in the Children’s Garden
The award-winning Davidson County Master Gardeners are responsible for the complete restoration of the Grassmere Historic Home’s gardens and provide the manpower, resources and expertise to keep the areas around the historic home both beautiful and bountiful.
We all need to make the best of our week. Working hard to make it to the weekend is not enough. We need time for ourselves. To better ourselves and take care of our health. That’s where Hot Yoga of East Nashville can help. Find a class this week and take care of yourself in the best possible way.

Hot-26 (Bikram Method Yoga) a series of 26 postures completed in a room heated to 100 to 105 degrees at approximately 40% humidity. The heat is helpful in allowing the body to go deeper into the postures safely by increasing the elasticity of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, allowing greater flexibility with a lower risk of injury. The heat also facilitates sweating and detoxification through the pores and skin – the body’s largest eliminating organ. The heat also greatly increases the challenge to the cardiovascular system, allowing for a challenging workout and greater fitness levels to be achieved. Finally, the intensity of the heat deepens the need for concentration and focus, strengthening the student’s willpower and self-control both in the classroom and beyond.
The Hot-26 discipline is an excellent way to develop and maintain a healthy body – it works as a preventative medicine by improving the immune system; detoxifying the muscles, lungs and organs; and preventing arthritis, back pain, and injuries to muscles, ligaments and tendons.
In addition, Hot-26 classes will help regulate weight and/or bring bodies to a healthy weight – each 90-minute class burning between 500 to 1100 calories. The self-control and focus developed in the class will be transferred to all areas of one’s life to improve overall mental and physical health.
POWER YOGA – FLOW
Power Yoga (Vinyasa Flow) yoga is offered for a variety in one’s workout routine. Power Flow classes are taught in a slightly heated room (85 to 90 degrees). The classes and postures are unique and new every day. In this style of yoga, the students flow dynamically between postures, gaining a fun/spontaneous yoga experience.
Power Yoga classes combine standing postures, sun salutations, and floor postures for an energizing, cardiovascular, full-body workout. Power Flow classes combine breath control with postures designed to strengthen the body, develop flexibility and improve stamina. Students note improved core and upper body strength and toning.
Power Yoga classes are fitness-driven and excellent for regulating weight and/or bring bodies to a healthy weight – each 60-minute class burning between 450 to 600 calories.
BUTI YOGA
Buti Yoga is a dynamic practice of vinyasa and hatha yoga sequences with added movement + Cardio-intensive bursts of Tribal Dance and primal movement. Prepare to loose your inhibitions and have a crazy amount of fun! Buti Yoga utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique to sculpt + tone the deep abdominal muscles that stabilize and strengthen the body.
