The spirit of Greensboro Power Yoga
Greensboro Power Yoga is committed to being YOUR third place. Beyond your home and workplace, we want you to feel a sense of belonging and empowerment from the moment you walk in our door. We are an "anchor" of the broader Greensboro community and a safe space for you to be unapologetically yourself.
Through the practice and teaching of power yoga, we deliver a challenging physical yoga practice along with a message of community, inspiration, and personal growth. We believe that every time you return to your yoga mat is a chance for you to not only develop better health and wellness, but an opportunity to create the life you want.
Meet Our Owner
Hi, I’m Mia! I am an Enneagram 7w8 who grew up as a dancer in Atlanta, GA, and went to Auburn University. I lived up north for 7 years, met my husband, and we flew back South to Greensboro just in time for the birth of our oldest daughter in 2015.
In 2016, I walked in the doors of Greensboro Power Yoga (formerly Dancing Dogs Yoga) and never looked back. Baptiste Yoga and the DDY community became my home away from home. I immediately immersed myself in all the things - 40 Days, Ambassadorship, Teacher Training, Membership Advisor, Ambassador Team Lead, and in 2017 I received my RYT-200 and begin teaching. With a background in dance and previous experience teaching other styles of fitness, I felt like I had discovered a missing piece of myself.
In 2018, my youngest daughter was born. As a new Mom of two, I quickly realized that I needed yoga and community more than ever.
In 2020 (before the world shut down), I traveled to Sedona, AZ to complete my Level One training with Baron Baptiste. That fall, amidst a global pandemic, I completed Baron’s first-ever virtual Level Two training and received my Baptiste Certification.
The pandemic wreaked havoc on all our lives but the one constant in my life was yoga. I continued to practice, teach, and in 2021 I launched a wellness retreat business called Power in Your Pause.
And on the 10th Anniversary of our community in 2023, I am the exceptionally proud owner of Greensboro Power Yoga. I have practiced, taught, sweat, laughed, and cried with this community since 2016 and it is a dream come true to carry the same gift of yoga that we all know and love into the future with a renewed sense of connection and community.
