We Asked This Yogi How She Gets Her Glow & No, It’s Not Glitter

by Shiri Sarfati
Miami Yogi

I was introduced to Miriam Ghandour (Mimi) on a yoga zoom session in honor of my friends quarantine birthday. After my hour long yoga class, I was instantly hooked on and fascinated with everything Mimi. I started taking her yoga classes virtually. While I had practiced yoga many times in the past, Mimi’s style of yoga was both energizing and uplifting. It became my moment of self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic. I connected with Mimi beyond the yoga mat and fell in love with her story.

She, like me, moved to Miami 6 years ago. She found yoga shortly after that and it completely transformed her. Mimi’s beauty is bountiful but what makes her stunning is her inner glow that she transmits to others. She will soon be launching an on-demand yoga site to continue to offer her practice to an even broader audience.

On the cusp of her new website launch, we chatted with Mimi on her beauty rituals and routines. Read the full interview below:
