Align, Exlpore, Awaken - Mia Togo and triyoga - a strong Vinyasa class to explore how we construct the architecture of the poses. Aligning our physical bodies creates a space to explore unconscious holding patterns.

Yoga is union, it is for everyone and this is a space to tune up your practice and tune in to what lights you up from the inside out
