Small World Yoga

Founded in 2014, Small World Yoga is a Nashville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects yoga instructors and volunteers to those in the community with limited access to yoga. SWY makes yoga accessible to more people so they can share in its mental, physical and emotional benefits. Our core activities include weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly classes at local nonprofits, schools, prisons, recovery centers and other organizations and program sites serving the Nashville community. Each class is tailored to the specific age group and background of the participants. With classes ranging from faster-paced vinyasa to restorative and chair yoga, SWY instructors are able to cater to all levels of students. In addition to providing free yoga classes throughout the Nashville community, Small World Yoga also brings together local instructors to continue growing their own teaching skills through regular workshops and trainings. Previous workshops include Kids Yoga, Yoga for Trauma and Adaptive Yoga for Cancer. Small World Yoga opened Nashville's first nonprofit yoga studio in 2018. Community members can make a $5 donation to our organization to receive yoga classes in our heated studio taught by beloved local instructors. Small World Yoga also hosts two annual events to raise funds and awareness. International Day of Yoga is held on June 21st and the Music City Yoga Festival takes place in February. Just like our yoga classes, both of these events are open to all ages and levels of students.
