Mya Cato

In 2014, Mya found herself in a yoga class as an avenue to stretch her achy muscles and counteract the mental stress of corporate America. The physical benefits were obvious, but the beginning of her yoga journey was ignited after receiving a sense of balance between the mind, body and soul. She adopted yoga as a lifestyle and later chose to become an instructor because of a lack of representation.

With a degree in business management and a background in marketing and event planning, Mya founded Meeyogi, a Tampa-based yoga company, offering events and private sessions. She received her 200-hour Hatha Yoga certification in 2016 through Yoga Loft Tampa. Her ongoing studies through various workshops allow her to remain a student first, to relay the teachings to yoga.

Mya includes three things in every class: movement, mindfulness, and meditation. She encourages a playful yet purposeful practice. Having the opportunity to teach yoga to youth and adults, she is dedicated to making yoga more inclusive for people at various stages of their lives.
