Mia (Maria) Neuenhoff

Mia started a full-time yoga practice around 2006. Living in the country, originally her yoga teachers were on PBS.
Even though she loved yoga, she felt like something was missing.  Once Mia discovered a good sweaty practice and spirituality weren’t mutually exclusive, she was hooked.
Mia received her 200-hour teacher certification in 2011 and her 300 hour Master Certification in 2012. She has over 1200 hours of training, including an additional 300 hour certification through Inspire Yoga, and certifications in Chair Yoga, Touch Training, Yoga Wheel, ParaYoga® Nidra, and Yoga Trapeze® .    
Mia’s progression as an instructor has been shaped by her students and peers, but she has been blessed to receive most of her training under Brooke Boon and credits her love for anatomy and an understanding that yoga is different in every body to Jonnie Goodmanson. She has also had the good fortune to study intelligent sequencing under Shannon Paige and how to assist organically with Adri Kyser. She considers these trainings pivotal. Through them she discovered her passion for alignment and the nuance of the pose.
Mia has led 200 and 300 hour teacher trainings since 2014. She oversees the education department for Holy Yoga Global. She develops continuing education programs for yoga instructors worldwide. Prior to opening gen·e·sis yoga in 2018, managed a large yoga franchise. 
She has two grown children; a marine biologist and a tattoo artist. She has three grandchildren that are growing up way too fast.
Mia loves to run. She loves to garden.  She loves to draw.  She loves to knit. She loves to read. She has no time for any of it, which is one of the reasons she is so passionate about yoga.  She knows a lot of folks feel guilty doing things for themselves and they are stretched thin. She wants to offer a space they can go to connect, do some yoga, have some time that is theirs and just maybe experience a divine shift.
