Mia Velez (she) believes that teaching is a privilege and learning is a reciprocal process between student and teacher. Her goal in her life’s work is to liberate herself and others from oppressive conditioning so she and others can live harmoniously with Nature/ Great Mystery/ The Divine/ God/ Tao, or any other name one uses to articulate the thing that makes things so. She teaches Ving Tsun Kung Fu, offers yoga to incarcerated men, and stress management techniques to new parents. She is a trainer for the Basic Teacher Trainings at Integral Yoga Institute, including the BIPOC Yoga Teacher Training, and mentors new teachers. Yoga and Kung Fu are integrated into her daily life as a healer, a householder, a preschool teacher, and an advocate for gender, race and class equity through multiple organizations. Her wish is for people to awaken to their true purpose in this life.
