Mimi Kuo-Deemer teaches
a mindful and enlivening vinyasa-based yoga. Her approach fosters
steady breathing practices in combination with healthy alignment
principles to help quiet the mind and bring ease to the body. She
came to yoga 15 years ago after a 7-year love affair with dance.
She enjoys practising qigong and exploring Chinese 5 Element philosophies
that imbue her teachings. Mimi’s
main teachers in the yoga world are Erich Schiffmann, who imparted
to her a love for meditation, teaching and the wonders of self-practice;
and Donna Farhi, who inspires her continually with her non-didactic,
inquisitive approach to teaching and learning. Teaching is one
of Mimi's favorite things, and she loves to share the happiness
that it can bring. She is a registered Yoga Alliance Teacher (RYT),
a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT),
and co-founder of Yoga Yard, a studio in Beijing, China, where
she taught for 7 years before moving to London.
