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