Mia Albrecht - ATX
I knew I wanted to teach yoga when at my lowest moments, the only place I wanted to be was on my mat. I began my yoga practice in 2017 and my dedication has only deepened since. As your teacher I strive to cultivate a healing, comfortable space for you to feel supported, as my teachers did for me. My dedication and love for this practice led me to complete a 200-hour teacher training at Dharma Yoga in the summer of 2023. Since graduating, I have been teaching both individual and group classes. Yoga is a continuous practice, a dependable sanctuary accessible not only on our mats but also in every part of our lives. My mission as your teacher is to create a warm, safe atmosphere on your mat. In my classes, I strive to teach to all levels, tailoring the practice to meet the unique needs of each student. I work to create a soothing, grounded environment for your journey inward. I look forward to practicing with you!
