Join Monica for a 3 days of Mysore & Pranayama, a full guided Primary Led and Arm Balances & Inversions Workshop in March!

Mysore + Pranayama 

These classes are for the beginner and advanced practitioner alike. In this format of practicing Ashtanga yoga, each student moves through one of Ashtanga’s sequences at their own pace and in a way that uniquely works for them. Regardless of where you are on your journey, Monica will support you in the room and hold a safe space for the practice to unfold, give hands on or verbal adjustments, and explore pose variations and modifications where appropriate- all to help you experience a practice that serves your intentions, individual needs and everything present for you each day. Mysore style is a personal and intimate path towards cultivating yoga within.

During the last 30 minutes of the mysore session, Monica will guide us through a pranayama, or breathing practice together as a group. Whether you are new to pranayama or looking to refine your technique, she will provide useful guidance on how to incorporate pranayama into your daily practice. Becoming more intimate with the movements and expressions of the breath leads to a more integrated and balanced internal form in asana practice and in our day to day lives.  

Inversions + Arm Balances 

​​In this workshop, we will take a close look at the foundations for stability in fundamental yoga postures. By understanding the movement mechanics and learning to use our energy efficiently we will begin to work towards the possibility of balancing on our hands and going upside down. You will learn the physical and mental skills needed to hold these forms by safely approaching our edge. By the end of this workshop, you will know how to identify your unique obstacles and how to integrate new patterns into your daily practice to move past them and onto your hands.

About Monica

Monica is Level 2 Authorised Ashtanga Teacher based in Miami. She continues to travel to Mysore on a yearly basis to learn yoga from the source.

First connecting to yoga in 2010, Monica was naturally drawn towards the practice not really understanding why at first. She eventually discovered, and continue to re-discover today, in the movements of asana and supporting philosophies, a tangible practice to reflect my lifelong inclination towards spirituality. Finding the Miami Life Center in 2014, she began a regular Ashtanga Yoga practice and soon after completed a 2-year apprenticeship program with an emphasis on the Mysore style of Ashtanga Yoga

More recently Monica completed a yearlong philosophy immersion with Ty Landrum, a month-long teacher’s intensive with Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, an adjustment intensive with David Swenson and a month-long teacher’s immersion with Ty Landrum. Currently Monica is also the Programming Director for Omstars, an online yoga channel and community founded by Kino MacGregor. .
