Mia Haruko Lovens

Describe your teaching style in three words.
Heart-Centered. Meditative. Fierce.

What can students expect in your class?
Students can expect to be met with encouragement wherever they are in their journey. They can expect to feel empowered through breath-focused cues, challenged through what many have called sneaky-hard flows, and calmed by a strong, soothing, and meditative class.

Favorite yoga pose:
Final Savasana. It is beautiful in its fleeting span of time and surrendering in and to it is profoundly enlivening and clarifying.

What’s your current edge or goal in your own practice?
My edge is steady arm balances. I love the idea and practice of finding equilibrium in the midst of inversions. My goal is to strike a balance between ease and effort, sukha and sthira, in each breath of my practice.
