Baptiste Power Yoga Nashville

Congratulations to our newest round of yoga teacher training graduates! You did it! 🥳

Our teacher trainees on a walking meditation this weekend during chilly, sunny weather. It’s a great way to ground yourself, get present, and see what “tapes” your mind tends to play on repeat.

Have you ever done a walking meditation? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Weekend two is complete! What a powerful, self aware, kind, vulnerable, and fun group! We acknowledge these nine participants for staying in the work. We can’t wait for weekend three with .delorenze!

We are so proud of our newest cohort of trainees, who have completed their first weekend and are preparing for round two this weekend! They have already displayed such a willingness to learn and grow, and we know this is only the beginning for each of them!

Meet Angela Nixon, who recently completed our 200-hour training and began teaching at Youth Encouragement Services and East Nashville Middle School.

Prior to signing up, she had financial concerns and was worried about not connecting with her fellow trainees. After graduating, she has this to say about training, “Do it! I gained confidence in my practice, my relationships, and my inner self. I was able to see what I wanted so much more clearly. I made beautiful and amazing connections with friends who started off as total strangers to me. We still get together for dinners, classes, events, and workshops.”

If you are looking for connection and community, teacher training might be the perfect fit! Visit https://smallworldyoga.org/teacher-training/200-hour or send us a message to learn more.

At Small World Yoga, our greatest mission is to increase access to the transformative and healing powers of yoga—that means the practice itself as well as the training programs we host. For that reason, we offer monthly payment plans up to a full year for our 200-hour and 300-hour teacher training programs. If finances are the only thing holding you back from signing up for this experience, please reach out to us!

Meet two of our most recent yoga teacher training graduates!

Hala Alaw (.m.alaw) and Nuha Alaw () graduated from our 200-hour teacher training in July 2021 after both committing to a daily practice during the height of COVID. Here they speak a bit about their experience. Hala says from training that she gained "great friendships because now we know each other on a different level. We are a family. Doing the YTT program with Small World Yoga opened my eyes to so many things: I am safe; I am welcomed; I am allowed to be who I am without judgment; I am free, and I belong."

Nuha shares, "I found my voice and can be my authentic self. I would encourage everyone to do the teacher training, even people who do not practice yoga. It is great training to build a better lifestyle physically, mentally, and emotionally."

The twins began teaching right away in our outreach program at Valor Academy and Nashville Public Library.

We have a scholarship for BIPOC students interested in our teacher training program!

We're committed to expanding growth and leadership opportunities to dedicated yoga students in our community. We recognize and acknowledge that there exists a disproportionate racial representation gap between the yoga student communities that SWY serves and the instructors leading yoga classes. The purpose of this equity scholarship is to empower our BIPOC students to become leaders in their community—in our community—in order to bridge the gap of inequality in racial representation. This scholarship is open to passionate, dedicated yoga students with a desire to teach yoga who are age 18+ and self-identify as BIPOC.

Learn more and apply by December 3 at smallworldyoga.org/teacher-training.

Our 200-hour teacher training starts January 15! Become a certified yoga teacher and be part of a life-changing experience.

Melinda Ballentine graduated last cycle:

"My biggest discovery during my yoga training was realizing how capable and strong I am! This training is more than a conditioned physical practice but a personal growth breakthrough. That can change your life forever! Small World Yoga's training has given me the ability to see beyond the surface of present but to take courage and seek internally with my self to evolve mentally, emotionally, and physically."

If you don’t want to wait until January 15 or if you live closer to Mississippi or South Carolina, we have two other affiliated trainings happening soon. Training in Myrtle Beach, SC starts October 9, and training in Oxford, MS starts January 13.
