Small World Yoga

This studio opened four years ago today 🥹

Can you orient yourself in these construction photos and figure out where the cubbies would eventually go?

Who was around when the place wasn't even renovated yet but we still HAD to have yoga class? 😂

Who was around before the garage door was put in, before we had fogged glass or a street sign?

Who was around when we were still at our old location on Music Row??

Get to know Maria, one of our studio teachers!

Born and raised in Nashville, Maria was first introduced to yoga in middle school, and it was love at first sun salutation. Practicing throughout high school and college, her appreciation for the practice grew, but really cemented itself as part of her lifestyle post-pandemic. While living in Los Angeles, she experienced an extreme health crisis and credits her faith and yoga for allowing her to trust her body again. This pushed her to want to learn more about the intentions of the practice and share all its wonderful benefits with others. Maria has received training in yin yoga from HOT 8 Yoga and her 200-hour teacher certification from Small World Yoga. Excited to help others find their inner strength, Maria is dedicated to seeing how yoga helps everyone grow from the inside out.

Take class with Maria on Fridays at 9 am!

⏰When do you like to practice at the studio? 9 am on Sundays! It feels like the perfect way to start a new week.

If you haven't had a chance to poke your head in Studio B, go admire our newest art installation the next time you're at the studio! Or even better, take a yin class on Monday or a deep rest class on Sunday or Thursday and enjoy these relaxing blooms for an entire hour.

A local Eagle Scout, Natalia Falconi, and her Troop 1122 committed their time, energy, and talents to our space as part of her final community service project. How lucky are we?! Thank you, Natalia! We will cherish this!

Get to know Echo, one of our studio teachers!

Echo received her yoga teacher certification in 2020 with Yoga One. She started teaching yoga in 2020 and began teaching with Small World Yoga in 2023. She loves yoga as a centuries-old healing and embodiment practice that centers her in a safe, calming, accepting space to connect with others and her inner, authentic self. What Echo enjoys most about teaching yoga is helping others experience improved health and quality of life by fostering clarity, balance, and wholeness in body and mind. Outside of yoga, Echo is a rescue mom to several fur babies and enjoys dancing, music, travel, and spending time in nature.

Catch Echo on Thursdays for a deep rest class at 7:15 pm!

🙃Favorite yoga pose lately? A prolonged standing forward fold followed by a super slow roll up to standing. It always helps me reset.

🫁What can people expect in your class? Lots of options and clear guidance to empower everyone to move in a way that feels best for their own body, and plenty of reminders to breathe, lol

🔋When do you like to practice at the studio? Anytime I can catch a Deep Rest class— that restorative time always feels like a recharge.

🧘🏻‍♀️Favorite music lately? I’ve been into manifestation songs lately. I didn’t even realize that was a genre until recently!

🏄🏻‍♀️What’s a hobby you enjoy outside of yoga? Paddle boarding with my pup, Bandit. ’Tis the season!
