#80 - MIA TOGO - TRANSFORMATIONAL LIFE COACH AND SENIOR YOGA TEACHER

MIA TOGO SENIOR YOGA TEACHER AND LIFE COACH ON THE HONESTLY UNBALANCED PODCAST WITH ADAM HUSLER AND HOLLY HUSLER

Now residing in London Mia Togo (@miatogo) is a transformational Life Coach and a YogaWorks senior teacher, teacher trainer, 300-hour mentor and leads yoga retreats and workshops around the world. She teaches Yoga because of the lessons that it taught her - through heartbreak and loss, she learned to live and love from a place of acceptance and honesty - a lesson that is valuable to all. In her own Yoga journey, she has traveled into the labyrinth of her center and back out again, bringing with her the gift of courage and greater compassion for human frailty.

Mia creates a space for her students to explore their truth - a place where they can remember that their worth does not need to be earned, bought, or outsourced, because true love comes from within. With detailed alignment, Mia’s sequences are designed to get the mind to show up and shift patterns that can be held on a musculoskeletal level. In a world where we are taught to push away discomfort and attach to pleasure, she encourages students to honour what is coming up for them on the mat, rather than override and ignore it.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • Why in the winter it’s more important for us to reflect inwards rather than be focused New Year’s resolutions 

  • What is setting the seeds of intentions and why to do this rather than focusing on New Year resolutions when working towards goals 

  • Where to start with setting intentions as a beginner and how to deep digger into it 

  • Questions to ask yourself when digging deeper into your goals to find your deep rooted why.  What life do you want to be living, how does it feel, what's your day like rather than being goal orientated and having linear life plans

  • The importance of a good 200hr Yoga teacher training when you’re looking to become a yoga teacher or deepen your practice

  • Debating whether music should or shouldn’t be played in a yoga class and trying to understand the purpose of the music when it is being used

  • The nuts and bolts of a good 200hr training is meant to be a solid fundamental foundation on how to teach asana, sequence, philosophy 

  • Why you should be researching the teachers who are leading the trainings to make sure you know the style, classes, and what you’ll get from it

  • Why the words truth and love resonate more for Mia than light and love

  • Mia is currently writing a book culminating her 30yrs of work and the current working title is All Vibes Welcome
