“Monica is a special yoga teacher. I immediately felt comfortable in her class. She has a natural warmth and creates a nourishing space for her students. Monica meets you where you are at - physically, emotionally, spiritually. She supports you in the practice and encourages you to develop at your own pace . I started going to Monica’s classes when I was 7 months postpartum. I am so delighted to have found her - her classes have really supported me back to myself and my body. I can feel such a noticeable difference in my fitness and strength. And I leave every class feeling a sense of calm and compassion, having done something that’s really nurtured myself. On top of all this Monica is experienced in yoga, very knowledgeable and a natural and authentic teacher.”

“I’ve had the joy of attending three yoga retreats with Gaby & Monica, and each one has been absolutely wonderful. Their retreats attract the most beautiful souls—many of whom return again and again—creating a sense of community and connection that feels truly special.The venues are always stunning and peaceful, surrounded by nature, which adds so much to the experience. The yoga and meditation classes are thoughtfully guided and deeply grounding, and the food is consistently healthy, delicious, and nourishing.Gaby & Monica create a space that’s both rejuvenating and heart-opening. I always leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and already looking forward to the next one!”

“Hi Monica, I just wanted to say it’s so great to have the sessions back at Honor Oak- you create such a wonderful space and such a great teacher - my mind and body really missed it! X”

“Thank you so much Monica for your wonderful classes over the last couple of years. I couldn’t have hoped for a better or more patient teacher and guide to my practice. While very sad to not be able to continue to attend after work due to change in jobs, you have inspired me to keep up my yoga until we can arrange regular sessions again. I am still benefiting both physically and spiritually from my yoga and your influence, but also miss how much fun and challenge you bring to everyone in the room. All the very best and hope to see you soon, Jon”

“Every week I look forward to Monica’s classes. Her lessons are open to Yogis of all levels, she’s customer focused and her warm and friendly approach will lead you into Nirvana.”

“I have always loved yoga, but never managed to maintain a consistent yoga practice. This year I have decided to change and Monica is the person who is helping me to achieve that. She is passionate about yoga and an inspiration to me. I have been to her classes every week for the past few months and really enjoyed them. In each class I feel that I am growing in confidence thanks to Monica’s support and guided instructions. I also feel that I am getting a lot of heath benefits since yoga became part of my life. I look forward to every class! ”

“Monica has been teaching yoga every week at my workplace / office space for nearly 2 years, and it’s brought such a positive change to myself and fellow colleagues, and created a new sense of community to our studio.We’re all different levels and Monica masterfully (and patiently!) makes sure we’re all comfortable, but still makes sure we push ourselves to our own strengths.It’s so great being able to do a consistent weekly yoga class at work before the day starts, as I’ve found it really hard to fit in classes after work hours / busy weekends.I would highly recommend Monica as your instructor if you’re looking for workplace yoga classes or 1-2-1s.”

“Monica, what can I say? Another wonderful yoga retreat. This was my third and I will be returning to all future ones as long as I can. Monica’s yoga pushes me but makes me feel so good. She is such a generous teacher and makes you feel part of something. The retreats are full of wonderful women and that’s reflection on this hosts. You are made to feel part of something special. Thank you ❤️”
— Emma Ford
“Monica is an amazing yoga teacher. Inspirational, kind and patient in her teachings. I attend her yoga retreats and they have become a staple of my calendar. Would highly recommend!”
— Emily Lawrence
“Monica is an absolute gem of a person and an incredible teacher. I was not a yoga person or at ease in a studio but she makes it all flow so well. It’s hard and energetic and relaxing and will make your life so much better ❤️”

“Monica is such a wonderful teacher. I’ve been taking twice weekly classes for a year and I feel so many changes - strength and balance but also focus and calmness. Monica gives very clear instructions for each posture and the steps into and out of it - whilst we are on zoom I can go for some time not needing to watch the screen because of the quality of her instructions. She gives potential variations for each posture but then reminds us that we take the ones which feel good for us on that specific day - and this makes for both a challenging yet non-judgemental class. Monica emphasises the key parts and the subtleties of each posture clearly so I understand when to push further or when I want to stay longer at a more basic version of the posture to really achieve the best not the deepest version. She gives me the verbal cues and reminders I need. Her words during class guide me and challenge me but make me kind and understanding to myself in that process. I have physically achieved things I genuinely thought weren’t possible and I’m so grateful. I can’t recommend Monica highly enough.”

“Monica is extremely patient with people new to yoga like myself, she explains and shows all movements beforehand, she inspires you to get better, to challenge yourself but always respecting your limits. I absolute love her classes and always feel so great after. Namaste Monica”
