Our Instructors
Mia Perry
Welcome yogis! I'm Mia—an ocean loving, sunshine seeking, movement mad, yoga-doing enthusiast who has the pleasure of sharing my knowledge and love of yoga with you here at Neighbourhood yoga.
My love affair with yoga began as a healing balm for both my body and mind, stemming from a competitive sports background that brought its own set of challenges. Injuries and emotional hurdles paved the way for me to discover the profound and nurturing embrace of yoga.
Growing up with my mother, an experienced yoga teacher herself, I was immersed in a rich tapestry of yogic traditions (and LOTS of downward dogs). Surrounded by the resonance of singing bowls, ancient chants, and an open-hearted approach, I learned that yoga is not just a physical practice but a holistic lifestyle.
With over a decade-long personal yoga practice, I have experienced firsthand the transformative effects of yoga. Specialising in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga, I bring a unique blend of strength, flexibility, and mindfulness to my teaching. My classes are designed to challenge and inspire, fostering growth both on and off the mat. I believe that yoga is a powerful tool for cultivating resilience, kindness to the self, and inner peace.
Beyond the yoga mat, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a playful spirit honed through my journey in academia. Graduating with a Sport and Exercise degree in the vibrant city of Newcastle, UK, has not only expanded my understanding of anatomy and physiology, but allowed me to bring a harmonious blend of science and soul into my sessions.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in inclusivity. Having had the privilege of meeting individuals from diverse backgrounds, abilities, ages, and nationalities, I embrace the opportunity to guide each student on their unique yoga journey. With an open heart and mind, I create a space where everyone feels welcome and supported.
Join me on the mat as we explore the transformative power of yoga together. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, I am here to support you in unlocking the unlimited potential within yourself. Let's embark on this journey towards balance, strength, and inner freedom. Namaste.

In this space, yoga truly becomes a union—a connection that transcends the physical practice and extends into a supportive community.
Yoga, to me, is a celebration of what we can do, not a judgment of what we can't. I am dedicated to helping you discover the transformative power of yoga, both on and off the mat.
