About this Retreat
Yoga has been a vital part of Mie’s life both on and off the mat for many years. She has studied yoga with various teachers and practiced different styles, while growing up in Japan, and living and working in Tanzania, Uganda, the United States, England and Germany.
Many influential teachers and masters – such as Jason Crandell, Claire Missingham, Yogeswari, Jai Uttal, Jo Tastula and Thich Nhat Hanh – have deepened Mie’s practice and influenced her teaching style. Mie is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher by Yoga Alliance. She is also an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT), which acknowledges the experience of over 1000 hours of actual teaching.
Mie strongly feels that yoga practice is for everyone, regardless of age, physical conditions, social-economic status. She does her very best to make the sequence accessible to practitioners of all levels, where we can be equally comfortable and challenged in our own boundaries.
Mie is currently based in Bonn, Germany and is one of the lead teachers at the Vinyasa People, an international yoga studio/community.
