Hello and welcome!
I’m Mir, a Toronto-based yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, somatic and vipassana practitioner and business owner.
I created Yin with Mir to share the life-changing benefits of yin yoga and meditation with busy people who might not have the time or energy to practice self-care outside of work. The stretches, meditation and breathwork techniques that I share in all of my classes are supportive of mental, physical and emotional health. And the best part is – once learned you can practice them on your own almost anywhere.
​
With 5 years of experience working in the corporate world and over 15 years practicing yoga, I have adapted my yin yoga practice for an office environment. I think some people might think “office yoga is not real yoga,” but in my opinion, it’s the *most* yoga. The whole point of a yoga practice on the mat is to live yoga off the mat, and that’s exactly what we work towards. I create a space for you to connect with yourself in the middle of the workday, notice your mind and body, practice regulated breathing and release stress and tension so you can return to work with more clarity, ease and presence.
