Miri is a certified Yoga and meditation teacher living in Portugal and is a experienced, warm and caring teacher who has been practicing yoga and meditation for 15 years.

Miri completed her trainings in Bali and India and has also continued her training on regular yin, restorative, anatomy and adjustment trainings and completed a Prana Samyama Buddhist meditation teacher training with Traditional Yoga UK.

As well as her passion for yoga, Miri is really passionate about wildlife, nature and the environment, having studied Ecology and Wildlife conservation and worked for many years as an ecologist for NGO’s in Asia and South and Cental America. Originally from Kuwait, Miri has now found her home in the beautiful Algarve, Portugal for the last 5 years.

“Having experienced and grown up with PTSD and anxiety, yoga helped me to find peace and guided me through my times of darkness. My motivation as a teacher is to help my students to let go of whats holding them back; self doubt, anxiety, negative thinking patterns and negative habitual patterns and guide them on a transformative path to open up their heart, to laugh, love, heal, forgive and cultivate lasting peace and happiness in life.

I feel that an important part of living the yoga path and finding peace is to lose ourselves in the service of others. That is why I am so proud to be an ambassador for Corc Yoga, who genuinely care about supporting mental health projects and also creating sustainable, eco friendly yoga products.”
