I have been practicing yoga for fifty years, and Mia is the best instructor I have ever had. She skillfully assesses the class’ capabilities to curate an experience that increases flexibility, enhances balance, and fosters mental calm. Yoga should be available to all, regardless of age, physical strength, or experience level, but these truths are only realized when the instructor has a deep understanding of how to meet students where they are and build from there. Mia has this skill in abundance! Even when I am dealing with personal physical challenges, I always leave Mia’s classes feeling refreshed, renewed, and strong!

Mia Nguyen is an outstanding yoga instructor. She offers a practice based on broad technical expertise balanced with compassion, creativity, and a presentation of alternative options for each asana which allows students of every experience level to benefit from each session. She also routinely assesses with each student his/her comfort and health level to ensure safe practice. This combination of the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga is particularly valuable for older practitioners whose capabilities may vary. In sum, Mia is a well-trained and gifted yoga instructor who provides an excellent yoga experience for all her students. As a long-time practitioner of yoga, and now a Parkinson's patient, I can attest to the physical and mental value of Mia's instruction. Her yoga classes allow me to maintain flexibility and strength, as well as a healthy attitude gleaned from her always-positive class presentation.

My wife and I have enjoyed chair yoga with Mia for several years now. For myself, I most value the body flexibility I have achieved and the calmness that Mia’s classes provide. Mia is an excellent teacher who puts a great deal of effort into knowing and responding to the needs of her students.

Mia is the most supportive and engaged instructor I've ever taken classes with. She is always well prepared, every class is themed to engage the students, and she pays attention to everyone's needs and feedback. My practice (and my life outside of yoga) is stronger for her leadership.

I'm a long time practitioner of yoga and have been taking Mia's classes for the past three years. I'm very pleased with how she teaches. She's very calm and soft spoken but stays focused and attentive to student's needs even advising on ways to modify a pose. I've had to change yoga classes due to recent foot and knee issues. And I'm currently taking her chair yoga class. Mia has helped me advance in my recovery and I feel ready to progress to a mat class very soon! I always feel very relaxed after class and love her short meditations and readings from others.

Mia is an exceptional yoga teacher who welcomes all participants with her cheerful demeanor and smile. She starts the class with a poem or thoughtful article that sets the tone as we prepare for class. Mia gives clear, detailed instructions throughout and provides modifications for each pose, recognizing the varying abilities of the participant. It is important to note that Mia always recognizes that our body needs a bit of time to “catch up” so there are frequent periods to breathe, close our eyes, stretch, etc. to get the most out of our classes. Anyone who participants in Mia’s classes will gain strength and endurance while learning about breathing and the mind-body connection. Mia inspires me to continue the practice on my own.

I highly recommend participating in Meditation with Mia. Many of us live busy lives filled with stress and have difficulty slowing down or taking time for ourselves. Beginning the week with Meditation with Mia sets the tone for the week and is calming and energizing. Mia is welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive of our efforts to concentrate on our practice and the theme for the session.

Mia's yoga instruction has helped me to decrease stress levels as well as increase my mobility, strength, balance, and overall well-being. I enjoy interacting with Mia and the other participants, while we become more aware of what we are doing with each pose.

Yoga with Mia is a wonderful experience. Mia is a kind, compassionate instructor. Her classes are both relaxing and effective. With each class she emphasizes stimulating readings before and after class. We also incorporate tools (blocks, hand weights, massage balls and elastic bands) to enhance our practice. Yoga with Mia has resulted in increased flexibility, gains in strength and endurance; all achieved in a fun environment!

As a beginner in Yoga, Mia's chair Yoga works perfectly for us. I would suggest that anyone (especially seniors, wanting to learn Yoga), begin with Mia. She is a warm, friendly and understanding leader. She is very knowledgeable and understands how every pose benefits the the human body. Any class with Mia will be an uplifting experience.

I've been taking Mia's Hatha yoga classes for about a year and have already decided to commit to taking two next year (Twilight Yoga & Beginning Hatha). I've had a few different yoga instructors over the years and I feel that each has benefited my practice in different ways. Mia uses her body, voice, and manner to present things with a gentle clarity that I find particularly helpful. My ability to balance while holding a pose has really improved while working with Mia. I'm excited to see what another year's work will bring. 5/5 stars!

I've greatly enjoyed Mia's Twilight Yoga, which is a gentle hatha practice for older beginners. She's very patient with us, showing us many ways to modify the various poses to adapt to our bodies - she tells us not to force ourselves into the poses, but to adapt the poses to our bodies. Mia also checks whether any students are experiencing discomfort and helps reposition them into more accessible poses. In 18 months of Mia's classes, my posture and energy have improved, and I'm now even able to do the Happy Baby pose! I heartily appreciate and recommend Mia Nguyen's Yoga classes, and look forward to working with her in the future.

Mia is one of the instructors that makes you want to keep coming to yoga - she’s friendly, calm and welcoming. She melds gentle yoga with challenges and modifications suitable to individual needs. Her classes have helped me with the flexibility, balance, strength, coordination and posture I need to stay active.

I’ve been taking yoga classes with Mia for a year and have benefited immensely from them. Mia brings a welcoming and joyful presence to each class that is contagious and helps create a real sense of community among us. In addition to the yoga itself, she shares mindfulness readings that invite us to become aware of more than just the physical benefits of our practice. Her classes help me become more attentive to my body and keep me fit for walking, sports, and everyday life. More than anything, I want to remain fully engaged with life—with people and with the world around me—and practicing yoga with Mia is a wonderful help toward that end.

"I take Hatha Yoga with Mia Nguyen, and I can honestly say she has taught me that things I once thought were impossible are actually possible—with patience, encouragement, and a good sense of humor! Mia’s instruction is patient, supportive, and encouraging, and she meets you exactly where you are. The changes have been amazing. I have improved my mobility, balance, strength, and flexibility, and I feel much more confident in what my body can do. I’ve also learned how much yoga can help with stress and relaxation. Mia has helped me discover strength and abilities I didn’t know I had. I also enjoy practicing together with other people who are all working at their own level. There is a wonderful feeling of encouragement and camaraderie in the class. I can not say it enough....Mia and Yoga have helped me move more confidently in my everyday life and has reminded me that getting older can still be fun"

Mia is both an excellent instructor, and kind one. She teaches people of all ages and abilities, and works with them at their level. Every class is both a joy and a personal improvement. Mis is so good that we've focused on her classes and now take her three times per week.
