Mingo has been practicing asana yoga since he was fifteen and soon after would discover the vast world of yoga that goes beyond the physical form. He has spent hundreds of hours exploring his own practice on the mat which has translated to clear, conscious direction while teaching. He deepened his practice by traveling to Mysore, India for a summer to study ashtanga and meditation with Pattabhi Joi's daughter, Saraswathi and the robust community that surrounds their Ashram. Having felt first-hand the transformative powers that yoga, meditation, and conscious breathing can bring to life, he has spent the last 10 years teaching his students what he has learned. Always with patience, always with compassion, you will find his class rejuvenating and challenging. Mingo is certified as a E-RYT 500 and YACEP with Yoga Alliance.
