August
According to my good friends at Wikipedia, August was originally Sextilis because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar, 753 BC. The days are shorter. People are traveling. And I'm so happy to sit by my back porch and write this for you. Happy Rest of Summer!

Yoga and ParaYoga®

I'm currently inspired to practice and teach expansive poses in order to expand our highest potential out to the world and to create space to receive what we need to become our best selves. This is a serious goal! Let's have fun achieving it.

My yoga website, MiaParkYoga.com and my yoga blog are happening. I want to blog more often, so can you clean the litter box for me so I'll have more time? Seriously, I want to create more time to do what I love, so keep an eye on my yoga blog for more frequent updates. I'll write about my process with The Four Desires book. 

Our TV show pilot, "Yoga Park: Yoga with Mia Park" is now a 3-5 minute demo reel. Woah! More soon...very exciting stuff.

I teach private yoga classes.
Go deeper with your personal  yoga practice physically, energetically, and mentally. I offer mindful private yoga instruction to individuals and groups. You'll receive a custom catered practice that will benefit you greatly. Group discounts and gift certificates available. Email me for details.
