Welcome to Ashara: A Sanctuary for Connection, Healing, and Community in Chattanooga

We are so excited to introduce The Ashara Studio! A newly transformed gathering space in the heart of Chattanooga designed to nurture connection, creativity, and well-being.

Derived from the Sanskrit word for hope, Ashara was originally built in 1900 and completely remodeled in 2025. Today, it stands as a warm, inviting haven dedicated to diverse therapeutic offerings, somatic practice, artistic expression, and restorative rest. Whether you’re hosting a movement workshop, a community circle, a class or a creative gathering, Ashara offers a versatile space for your gathering.
