3 Words to Describe My Teaching Style:

Fun. Challenging. Supportive.

My music style:

Progressive house. deep house. motivational beats.

I fly with Jaybird Because:

JayBird holds a special place in my heart. When the first studio opened in Vancouver, I felt as though I found a space to call home. The emphasis on free expression, non judgement, and embracing a sense of both challenge and play is exactly what I stand for and embody when teaching and holding space for others. I am so grateful for the years of connection with this community and look forward to many more!

My journey to jaybird:

I’ve been teaching yoga for over 8 years and completed my Lagree training + Jaybird Mentorship 4 years ago. I love nothing more than being a student and continuing my education, seeking out special programs to enhance my teaching skills and in turn giving me more tools to share with others. I’ve been teaching at JayBird (Vancouver) since 2019 and help mentor new teachers that come on the team as well! I am the founder of Evolve Retreats (international retreats) and I offer short and sweet practices on my YouTube channel (MIKMILLMOVEMENT). There’s nothing I love more than coming together in group to move, breathe, and create space for deeper connections.

What MiNdfulness Means to Me:

in my perspective, mindfulness is an embodied practice. Being present is not just about mental awareness but also about attuning to the sensations and emotions moving through your physical body, nervous system, heart and soul. I believe it to be a forever practice, and one that calls for deep listening, patience, acceptance, support and self love.

words to live by:

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.
