We got nominated for an award! 🏆

This morning we attended the Metro Nashville Public Schools Family & Community Partnership Awards, where we were nominated for a Health & Wellness award, which celebrates partners who promote the physical, mental, and social-emotional well-being of students and families.

We are honored to have been nominated, and it was such a treat to get out of our yoga pants this morning and celebrate the meaningful impact that so many other community members and organizations make in Nashville. We're proud to serve our community through yoga 💙💛

Did you know we teach in Nashville's public schools? Yep! We're at over 15 different schools! If you'd like yoga at your school or youth program, message us!

Get to know Tessa, one of our studio teachers!

Tessa received her yoga teacher certification in 2025 with Small World Yoga. She started teaching yoga in 2025 and began teaching with Small World Yoga in 2026. She loves yoga because it helps reduce stress while increasing balance and flexibility. What Tessa enjoys most about teaching yoga is providing space for others to experience the benefits of yoga. Outside of yoga, Tessa enjoys playing with her pitbull, hiking, and learning.

Catch Tessa subbing on Thursdays or Sundays for our Deep Rest class!

Favorite yoga pose lately? Extended mountain with cactus arms to counter tech neck.

What can people expect in your class? A class built on intention to be in the moment.

When do you like to practice at the studio? Evenings to transition from work.

Favorite TV series lately? The Pitt!

What’s a hobby you enjoy outside of yoga? Pottery. It is another opportunity to begin again every time I throw a new piece.

Why does Small World Yoga matter?

Because people matter, and people deserve free mental and physical health resources. If we don't look after our own neighbors, who will?
