Yoga with Monica

Give yourself the Mind-Body experience you deserve.

"Prior to attending Monica's classes, I had tried yoga a few times but never been able to get into it. Going to Monica's class made me feel more than comfortable because of her welcoming presence. I leave every class feeling peaceful and strong. I highly recommend her classes to anyone whether you're looking to become a 'yogi' or just some peace of mind. Fantastic!"

"I am new to yoga, and Monica has helped me to feel comfortable while trying new poses and breathing exercises that I haven’t done before. She is very hands-on if you want her to be and she has a calming yet energizing presence."
Justine B: Student

I have had lower back issues for over 25 years now and after years of hearing “ you have to try yoga go take a class “ I finally decided to take one. My Chiropractor recommend Monica to me. It’s been over 6 weeks now since I met Monica and been doing one on one classes with her and my lower back hips and over all flexibility has never been better ! My pain and stiffness has gone away ! Monica is a true professional she knew exactly what stretches would help me with my issues. She is an amazing yoga instructor with a fun personality and she is always has a smile on her face ! I highly recommend taking a class from Monica . Like me, she will absolutely improve your overall well being ! I can’t thank her enough !

What should I wear?

Comfortable attire that allows for free range of motion.

What if I am not flexible?

Although flexibility is one of the benefits of yoga, you do not need to be flexible to practice yoga. In fact, yoga promotes flexibility! Yoga lengthens and expands muscles while helping you release toxins that build up.

However, the ultimate goal is to align your body, mind, and soul; the gain happens regardless of whether or not you can touch your toes.

When can I expect to see progress in my yoga practice?

Yoga has a mantra, " where you are is exactly where you're suppose to be ".

Everyone responds differently to yoga. Embrace where you are in your yoga practice and let go of expectations. Yoga is a life long pursuit, so enjoy the ride :)

How often should I practice yoga?

For start, I welcome you on your journey of exploring yoga!

A successful practice requires discipline, consistency, and commitment. Develop the spirit of repetition and dedication in your yoga practice, and you will see results.

A practice of 2-3 days per week, if consistent, will create transformation over time. Additionally, if looking to incorporate yoga into a daily practice, only 7 minutes of meditation, and/or 10-20 minutes of stretching/light yoga flow can soothe your body, mind, and soul.

My yoga instructor says, "namaste" at the end of class. What does that mean?

It is common for instructors to end a class with this ancient, traditional phrase. The gesture of communicating 'Namaste', is an acknowledgement of one soul to another.

"Nama" means bow. "As" means I. "Te" means you. Meaning, bow me you or I bow to you. This gesture is a deep form of respect and a way of sealing your practice and hard work at the end of a class.

What is the practice of Yoga?

The practice of yoga is the practice of fully uniting the body, mind, and spirit.

Can I still participate if I have physical limitation(s)?

Yes; a physical disability doesn't mean physical inactive.

Regardless of anyone's physical condition, there is meditation, breathing, concentration, and mindfulness exercises. However, each pose can be modified ( seated, props, etc. ) and adapted to meet the needs of the student.

Where can I find studio parking?

There is street parking on Elm Street, Depot Street, and Old Granite Street, and also a city surface parking lots down at the bottom of Depot St. The meters on Depot Street only take quarters, but the city surface lot takes credit cards.
