"Monica is a knowledgeable professional in everything she does. The dedication to her work comes through not only in practice, but also in the nuggets of history and theory that she is able to provide about yoga and beyond! I attended a Relaxation and Rejuvenation Retreat led by Monica, during which she guided a small group of women through several different types of yoga and meditation. Though I'm an experienced yogi, we practiced types of yoga that I had never heard of and Monica supported our practice with information about how it impacts the body and the roots of the practice. During meditation, I was able to sit longer than I ever had before with Monica as my guide and she taught us a variety of techniques for stilling the mind that I have since used independently with great success. I got a Thai massage from Monica that made me feel incredibly loose. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, while moving my body in ways that stretched and opened up both muscles and joints. Throughout the retreat, Monica was prepared with the perfect background music and accessories for each session to add to the atmosphere and made sure we got plenty of variety - she even taught us a Zumba class! The entire retreat was well organized and relaxing, with engaging sessions, delicious and healthy food, and wonderful company. As a former scientist, Monica approaches her new calling with the same meticulousness and attention to detail as her former line of work. I hope to be lucky enough to practice with Monica as my guide again."
