Buckhead Yoga & Wellness is the vision of founder, Dr James Chappuis, M.D., F.A.C.S., one of the nation’s leading orthopaedic and spine surgeons.
A Merging of Traditional & Alternative Medicine for Optimal Well Being

“Over the years, many of my patients have aspired to live healthier lives, but they were not sure where to go or exactly what to do to accomplish that goal”

It’s been my experience that optimal well being is a synergy of physical, emotional and spiritual practices. My goal is to build a community wellness center that brings together the best of traditional, high-tech medicine and alternative/complimentary care under one roof.

We’re very excited to announce the opening of such a facility: Buckhead Yoga & Wellness. Along with Yoga, Pilates and various fitness classes,we will also be offering various workshops including nutrition and mindful eating, meditation and aromatherapy, and seminars on emotional healing.

We are also adding an integrated/complimentary program coordinated by Board-Certified Physicians to include acupuncture, naturopathy(including nutraceuticals), reflexology, liver/colon cleansings, chiropractic and other natural healing modalities.

The timing is right. Today’s healthcare environment is shifting …patients are more educated and are asking for AND deserve CHOICES. Rather than the same traditional medicine that has been offered for years or far-out alternative practioners without medical supervision, we have created an environment which we hope will offer BOTH: state-of-the art traditional medicine AND MD supervised alternative/complimentary options. Therefore, you don’t have to see us only when you are sick or injured, but on your journey to improved health and overall wellbeing !!!
