About Mitra

Our real being
is not the intellect,
nor the æsthetic,
ethical or thinking mind,
but the divinity within.
—Sri Aurobindo

Mitra's classes are a unique blend of Sufiism, Iyengar yoga, Siddha yoga, and integral yoga, and are designed to assist the student in acheiving a sense of peace and well-being.

As a certified physical fitness expert, Mitra is able to quickly identify individual needs and guide a student's postures. This sets the groundwork for greater strength within the postures while helping to eliminate the possibility of stress to any current injuries.

Mitra Tredway's love of yoga began at age 13 through her study of the uwaisi system of Sufiism. She began to teach hatha yoga at age 17 and has been teaching Iyengar yoga since 1984. She teaches ongoing classes and workshops in Santa Cruz, California, and throughout the United States, as well as in Mexico, and India.
