Mimi Ghandour is a 200 RYT-certified yoga teacher and the Founder of Mimi Yoga, a global yoga community and two eponymous yoga studios in Wynwood and Coconut Grove, FL. Based in Miami, FL, she was born in Paris and raised in Saudi Arabia and has been living in Miami since 2014. Mimi’s background is in interior design and fashion, and she has always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

Before starting her journey in yoga, Mimi co-founded the most successful bakery in Saudi Arabia. However, her life changed when she stepped onto a yoga mat for the first time in 2015. At that time, Mimi was experiencing extreme anxiety, and the yoga class, led by Ewa Josefsson, who currently teaches at Mimi Yoga, had a profound impact on her.

The yoga practice resonated deeply with Mimi, not only for its physical benefits but also for how it made her feel. She embarked on a journey without knowing where it would lead. Over time, Mimi built a large and dedicated following both in real life and on social media, becoming a successful yoga teacher and an inspiration to people worldwide.

Mimi is known for her power vinyasa flows, which deliver an athletic practice with a strong focus on toning muscles and breaking a sweat. She incorporates beautiful mantras played on her harmonium into her classes, adding a spiritual element to her teachings. Through her Yoga Teacher Training program, Mimi empowers her students to find their unique voice and teach from their authentic selves, drawing on their life experiences to inspire others.

Mimi's warm and friendly personality shines through in her interactions with others. She is passionate about creating community and holding space for personal transformation. Mimi authentically shares her life and experiences, welcoming everyone she meets with a smile. Her dedication to yoga and her ability to connect with people is the secret to her success and the growth of her community. 

When Mimi is not teaching yoga, she cherishes her time with family, friends, and community. She values building strong connections and nurturing relationships with loved ones. Mimi also enjoys spending time at the beach, fashion, travel, good food, and getting into her PJs by 9pm.
