“The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind & the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.”
(B.K.S. Iyengar)
The underlying ideas to practicing yoga are the following:
Yoga asanas have three purposes:
Hatha yoga focuses on stretching and strengthening the body while promoting relaxation and mindfulness. Props will be used for additional support, steadier balance and even a deeper stretch when settling into yoga poses.

General level
Vinyasa means connecting movement with breath. During your yoga practice you can focus on bringing awareness to your breathing and using your breath to guide you through the movements. A dynamic practice that flows from one pose to another, it combines physical activity, breathwork, mindfulness, and meditation into one practice.

General level
Restorative yoga is a restful practice that encourages you to slow down and open your body through passive stretching. When your body enters a state of relaxation, your mind can also consciously relax as tension melts away. The only work required during a restorative yoga practice is to pay attention to your breath, become aware of any sensations or thoughts that may arise, and then gently release them.
2-hour class
Suitable for everyone.

I have been a regular attendee at Monika’s yoga classes for nearly 10 years. In addition to the weekly sessions, I frequently attend Monika’s monthly ’Restorative’ sessions. I have also attended several annual yoga weekends that she has both organised and run. Prior to finding Monika, I had been to several classes run by different teachers with limited success. I find Monika focussed, patient, friendly and responsive to individual needs. A crucial factor is that she challenges me in my yoga practice but knows when I have reached my limit and adapts poses for me accordingly. I find her to be an excellent teacher and practitioner which is evidenced by her commitment to continuous learning and development. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending her.
Monika is an inspirational yoga teacher; her lessons are meticulously planned and provide a full mind and body workout. Since I have been practicing with Monika, I feel physically stronger, and my understanding of yoga has deepened. Her classes are challenging grounding and relaxing and I always leave feeling invigorated yet blissfully calm.”
In my view Monika is an outstanding teacher in three ways: - she exemplifies the physical and mental benefits of yoga practice - every lesson is carefully planned based on her deep knowledge of the tradition and teachings - her teaching style is encouraging and supportive.
I started my yoga journey with Monika about 10 years ago. She is an extraordinarily good teacher, constantly seeking to improve her own practice so that she can pass new techniques onto her students, which means her classes are never repetitive and always well judged. I am so much fitter and more flexible than I was when I started. I always feel both physically stretched and emotionally calm at the end of one of her classes and can’t imagine practicing with another teacher.”
I first met Monika in 2018, when I regularly attended her vinyasa flow classes on a Saturday, I have since also attended online classes during covid, restorative workshops and weekend retreats both I summer and autumn. She provides a variety of yoga classes through the week, all with the student at the centre of what she does, each session clearly describing its desired intentions, making use of props and modifications if needed. Monika provides clear instruction and guidance throughout classes, explaining the benefits to different poses and breathing methods. I have had the pleasure of developing my yoga practice and becoming stronger, more flexible and calmer of mind through Monika’s direction. I have also been supported by Monika to recognise my physical limitation following an accident and episodes of ill health but have found I have been able to participate as she provided personalised advice to enable me to work with the group. She is a keen learner and regularly supports her students by sharing her knowledge to their benefit. Monika is kind, considerate and a motivator of others which is demonstrated in her approach. With all this in mind, her yoga classes are accessible to all, a good balance of direction and humour and why I keep returning time and time again.
