Meet Sarah, one of our instructors for IDY 2026!

Sarah started adding yoga to her routine when she was in graduate school, and when she moved to Nashville, she continued growing her personal practice with Small World Yoga because the community was infectious! She completed her 200-hour teacher training with Baptiste Power Yoga Nashville in 2020.

🔼Favorite yoga pose lately?
Triangle! I like that it truly is the shape you are creating with your body. It’s the most stable geometric shape and getting into it makes my legs strong!

🫁What can people expect in your class?
For things to get a little bit weird, but in a good way! I like to be silly and to break yogis out of their serious face. Also lots of cueing for the breath! Breathe!!

🧘🏼‍♀️When do you like to practice at the studio?
I most regularly practice Sunday mornings at 9 am with Mikka. I also love the sound baths!

🎶What are you listening to lately?
I enjoy listening to Johnnyswim, Jon Batiste, Mumford and Sons, Drew and Ellie Holcomb.

📺Current TV obsession?
I am a Real Housewives of New York fan and I was excited to watch Severance on Apple TV.

🚲What's a hobby you enjoy outside of yoga?
Wandering the neighborhood with my family on stroller walks and e-bike riding.

Meet Masa, one of our instructors for IDY 2026!

Masa received her yoga teacher certification in 2025 with Small World Yoga. She started teaching yoga, including with Small World Yoga, in 2025. She loves yoga because it brings her a mental and physical workout, peace, focus, and the freedom to show up fully—on and off the mat. What Masa enjoys most about teaching yoga is it allows her to extend the peace and focus it brings her while empowering others to connect with themselves through the practice and get what they need out of it for their own lives. Outside of yoga, Masa enjoys singing, self-development, watching TV, and hanging out with loved ones.

💃🏻Favorite yoga pose lately?
Dancer pose!!! Such a fun and elegant posture. I feel beautiful and strong when I'm in it.

💪What can people expect in your class?
A strong, intentional sequence, empowerment to move in a way that feels good for you, and a meditation at the end.

🌅When do you like to practice at the studio?
Afternoons and when there's a class after I teach.

🎶Favorite music lately?
One of my favorite artists is Naïka and I have been really enjoying her new album “Eclesia” lately!!

🎤What’s a hobby you enjoy outside of yoga?
Singing!

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!

🐦Favorite yoga pose? Half pigeon!

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

📚Favorite book/music/movie lately? Book - How to Build a Fashion Icon by Law Roach. Music - Willow Smith, Jessie Reyez, and Isaiah Rashad. Movie: Is God Is!

🪴A hobby I enjoy outside of yoga: Gardening! I love tending to my house plants. Much love to my first born, a Chinese Evergreen named Franklin
