Mia is a visual artist with a consistent Yin practice moving parallel to her work as a sculptress. She incorporates knowledge about materials (metals) and Alchemy into her Yin studies and offers deep dives into the various asanas. The postures are arrived at by the practitioner, but Mia offers guidance leading up to - and through each shape. She works with opening up more space for our creativity through reconnecting with our senses.
Mia has a MA in Visual Arts and completed her Yoga certificate through Lovelight studios with Danielle Hoogeboom in 2025. Her long time living in BC introduced her to Danielle in 2013, and she has been in an ongoing mentorship with her since then. Mia teaches individually and with her daughter Elliott who is also a lovelight yoga teacher.
Elliott’s is a Canadian/ Norwegian Yin instructor who invites students to journey through her imaginary story telling and guidance within the yin postures. At the age of 10, she has already thought classes online and in person, and has been interviewed on national tv about her yoga practice. She has been a student of Danielle Hoogenboom since she was a baby, accompanying her mama Mia- later she began to teach after years of listening and being included In the adult yoga classes. She seeks to share her experience of how breathing calms her down in situations where she needs it the most, and give others the tools to manage their own peace. All are welcome in her classes; pets and snacks too off course ! Elliott’s dog Figgy will be with her in some of the classes.
