Peter Mico

Peter Mico has been a student of yoga since 1995. While spending the first five years of his practice healing various ailments and injuries to his body Peter learned the practice of Hatha yoga; specifically from the lineage of Iyengar yoga. This was the beginning of Peter’s extensive yoga training path. In 2000 he began a long term study with Rodney Yee, an Iyengar senior teacher. He was drawn to Rodney’s casual teaching style and effective methods of mixing metaphor, philosophy and anatomy while appropriately incorporating humor into the teaching. Peter then attended Rodney’s Advanced Teacher Training in Northampton Ma. He has also studied with Manouso Manos in San Francisco and Patricia Walden in Estes Park CO. In 2006 he began his 500 hours yoga training and studies with Tias Little of the Prajna Yoga Studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Peter remains an active member of the Prajna Yoga Sangha and attends Tias’s workshops around the country. In 2011 he received his teachers certification in Garuda fitness with James D’Silva in Toronto Canada. James D’Silva created the Garuda system of body conditioning using yoga, pilates, dance and reformer workouts. James’ techniques are uniquely qualified in working with the body’s myafascial systems, which is of particular interest to Peter’s work in Yoga therapy. 

Peter Mico is owner and currently on the teaching staff at Downtown Yoga in Sandpoint, Idaho.
