She/Her

Monica teaches Yoga Basics at Danja. Her teaching reflects yoga as a practice, not performance or perfection, so there’s space to explore, play, and push boundaries. She offers students an introduction to yoga and invites to look within, building self-awareness and compassion for self and others. Her personal practice has changed her life in infinite ways – most of all, it has helped her feel more lovingly situated within herself.
