Mimi Lange

Mimi Lange grew up in a small house in the Highlands, just a few blocks from where she teaches yoga now. She spent her childhood summers at Sloan's Lake, learning to paddleboard before she was tall enough to reach the water. After a brief, uninspired stint studying graphic design at Denver Community College, Mimi realized her true calling was on the mat. She started teaching at 'The Flow State' three years ago, a sun-drenched studio on West 32nd Avenue, where she now leads several classes a week. Her rescue cat, Willow, often supervises Mimi's home practice, occasionally batting at a stray ponytail or a dangling strap, a silent critic of her downward dogs.

A typical week for Mimi begins well before dawn, with a silent cup of chai tea as the city wakes up. She's a creature of habit, always arranging her mat in the same spot in her apartment, even on days she's not teaching. Sundays are for wandering the aisles of the South Pearl Street Farmers Market, searching for the perfect avocado for her morning toast. She has a curious habit of color-coding her pantry, insisting it 'just makes sense,' and can spend an hour debating the merits of different types of oat milk. Despite her early bedtimes, Mimi is notorious for losing track of time in a good book, often reading until her eyes blur, then regretting it when her alarm goes off at 5 AM.

Talking to Mimi often starts with a playful challenge, perhaps a question about your favorite stretch or the last time you truly felt grounded. She has a way of making you feel seen, noticing the subtle shifts in your expression and bringing them up later with a gentle, 'Remember when you said that?' She teases about small things, like your insistence on wearing socks with sandals or your inability to hold a plank for more than thirty seconds. What truly wins her over is a genuine curiosity about her world, and perhaps a shared disdain for small talk. She appreciates a well-timed joke, especially one about a clumsy moment in a yoga class, and a quiet confidence that doesn't need to prove anything.
