I LOVE TEACHING YOGA
I especially love teaching to private clients and smaller groups
in order to offer personalized attention. My classes are friendly, fun, and deep.
I am currently in nursing school and have a light teaching schedule until I graduate.

Restorative Yoga Nidra
Breathe deeply as you move and stretch, releasing tension and balancing the body. Then, ease into a restorative posture and practice yoga sleep, also called yoga nidra, a deeply restful meditation that guides you through progressively deeper stages of consciousness, integrating body, energy, and mind. Bring a yoga mat.

Candlelight Yoga Nidra: Online
Nest into deep breathing, slow-paced, and gentle movements. Then, ease into a restorative posture and practice yoga sleep, also called yoga nidra, a restful meditation that guides you through progressively deeper stages of consciousness, integrating body, energy, and mind. For the best experience, have candles, a yoga mat, a blanket, and a pillow ready for the class, all from the comfort of your own home.
 
This class will be taught online via Zoom. All registrations must be submitted online two days before your class starts. Registered students will receive login instructions one day in advance.
 
New! Yoga Nidra with the Orchids
Breathe deeply and move gently among vibrant, fragrant orchids, then experince teh deep, profound rest of yoga sleep, or yoga nidra. You will be guided through a restful meditation while lying on the back, helping you release tension and reconnect with your inner self. Perfect for all levels, it’s a peaceful retreat for body and mind. Class includes private admission to Nichols Hall, a part of the Orchid Show experience, after the show has closed for the day. Bring your yoga mat.

Sunset Candlelight Yoga Nidra
Relax into the dusky vibes of a candlelit space during sunset. Breathe deeply while moving and stretching to release tension and balance the body in a space lit by candles. Then, settle into a restorative posture and practice yoga sleep, also known as yoga nidra, a deeply restful meditation where you are verbally led through deeper stages of consciousness that systematically integrate body, energy, and mind. Bring your yoga mat.

Free Yoga @ Millennium Park 

I love teaching on the Great Lawn in Millennium Park in gorgeus downtown Chicago! I hope we can practice there next year. 

I taught yoga to hundreds of participants in August, 2024.

Teaching Taiji

Taiji in Chicago is our school of taiji (taichi) where we practice Daoist Principles in motion.

Mia practices and teaches taiji using the system taught by Patrick Kelly. This taiji system is an intelligent synthesis of the three great esoteric streams of Daoism/Buddhism, Gnosticism/Sufism, and Yogic internal work as studied by Patrick for over 50 years and synthesized with the approval of his teachers. Mia was raised practicing martial arts and has studied with Patrick Kelly and his senior teachers since 2016.
