Monica has been practicing yoga for over 12 years. She began dancing at age 4 and has been passionate about sports and movement ever since then. She has over 800 hours of registered training in traditional hatha. Aspects of this certification include a deep understanding of the postures, ayurveda, and the chakras, all under a non-dualistic approach. In addition, she is a 500-hour professional level Kripalu teacher.

She lived at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, working with the yoga team, for 14 months. The richness of this tradition, with its emphasis on life force, breath, and inquiry enhances her teaching. Her approach to yoga is summarized by the following statement: clarity through practice. This phrase captures the growth and knowing that comes with one’s relationship to their yoga.

As a yoga instructor, she does her best to serve wisely, inspire and be a clear guide. It is the yoga that is the teacher. Monica believes that through the practice itself, with compassion and continued connection, things become clear.
