About Mikki
A little bit about me: She/Her. I have been teaching since 2010 and primarily teach a flowing, vinyasa style. I received my 200 hour YogaWorks certification in 2011 and my 500 hour certification from YoYoYogi in 2016. I have taken additional 500 hour courses with Yoga Medicine and Annie Carpenter’s Smart Flow and have certifications with Strala Yoga and Street Yoga.
My classes are anatomically informed and soulfully inspired and reflect what I’ve found to be empowering from the time I’ve spent on my own mat in practice. As an analytical human, I enjoy an alignment-based approach to asana, but believe that the alignment of postures should be something that is learned from the inside out, not from written rules. I strive to invite freedom of exploration, observation, and inquiry into each class that I teach, so that over time you learn what your authentic alignment is, on your mat, and off. My style creates a space for yogis to be challenged and to grow their practice, but also to find ease, confidence, laughter, and connection - with self and others.
I teach primarily in the Salem, Oregon area with studio classes at Resonance Yoga Collective. In addition, I am the founder of Yoga + Beer and host regular events and retreats at local breweries and wineries around the state and offer international yoga retreats around the globe.
Lover of the PNW and travel. Book worm. Piano player. Private pilot. Paddleboarder. Hiker. And proud Dog Mom to Samson the Shiba.

Cheers & Namaste.
