jyoti yoga

Yoga first came into my life in 2001 and has twisted and turned into the foundation of my spiritual path today. It would bring me to my first yoga teacher training in India and pave a way of life for me.

I'm a certified hatha yoga teacher through the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, trained at the foothills of the Himalayas and a certified vinyasa flow yoga teacher trained through Frog Lotus Yoga International in Spain. In deepening my own practice and furthering my skills to spread the wisdom of yoga, I'm also certified as a yin yoga teacher based on the teachings of Paul Grilley.

I now passionately share yoga through the foundation of functional yoga, with the understanding that we're all unique individuals with varied skeletal structures and therefore our yoga asana practice should honor this fact, making yoga accessible for all.

Using the physical practice as a platform for a spiritual experience, I craft and design each class for the body, mind and soul. I guide the sessions with mantras on the harmonium and use sound vibrations to take the students on a sacred journey.

Mia is a true light. She is full of universal energy and her classes are pure magic. I was filled with golden energy and it was visible inside out after one of her classes in Spain. Join this amazing soul and feel the vibration yourself.

"Mia is a lovely, warm and caring teacher and teaches with much grace and clarity. She liberally weaves her chanting throughout her classes in a beautiful and moving artistry. I highly recommend Mia as a person and a yoga teacher."

"When I take part in Mia’s classes, I feel that I can let go of everything… Each class seems like a piece of art to me and just for me."

Julia Smolka, Germany

"Mia’s yoga classes have the perfect balance of dynamic energy and stillness, creative flow and steadiness, Shiva and Shakti."

Joahn Svanborg, Sweden, Owner of Shambala Gatherings- Yoga Retreat Centre

“I was really lucky to be able to take a couple of Mia’s yoga classes…What took it to another level was the way she wove the playing of her harmonium and singing of mantras, with her beautiful haunting voice, into the class and relaxation. It was an unforgettable and beautiful experience.”

Amanda Stephens, UK

"Mia is an exceptional yoga teacher and an exceptional human being. She creates an environment of beauty and spiritual depth so that the yoga comes from the inside out."
