Monica was first introduced to yoga when her mom brought her to her first class that a friend was teaching at a Synagogue in the late 90s. They attended the class because Monica's relationship to her newly developing teenage body was not a healthy one.  This beautiful, simple, practice opened her eyes to a new path with which to approach the human condition both on and off the mat. Ever since, Monica's desire for yogic knowledge snowballed –seeking out classes at local gyms and yoga studios turned into finding highly qualified mentors resulting in a lifelong regulated practice and a desire for something deeper, a taste for something higher than ourselves. For the last couple of decades Monica has spent thousands of hours on the mat at different vinyasa, hatha and 26/2 focused studios.  With a great deal of knowledge under her belt and a thirst to help others, Monica became a Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Certified Teacher in March of 2020 and began teaching yoga at Lavender Koi in Berlin, NJ immediately. Around the same time, Monica was introduced to Bhakti Yoga and began to deepen her knowledge in the ancient Vedic teachings of yoga philosophy. Today, Monica continues to teach at Lavender Koi Yoga, Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Preserve, The Mount Laurel Library as well as Studio 67 in Medford, NJ with the a focus of helping others, not only on a basic physical level in the body, but to also provide students with a tool box for the mind and spirit.

Transformation does not happen without discernment. In each moment we have the opportunity to make choices that will create a ripple effect throughout our lives.  We get to select what is the best choice and to decide for ourselves what that is.  Yoga students enter into their practice with many different motivations in mind whether for stress relief, physical fitness or social engagement, what they gain from it is often more than achieving a goal but a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation. The Whole Package.

Based on the philosophy that at the core all of us are Sat-Chit-Ananda – Sanskrit for  Eternal – Conscious – Blissful. In the philosophy of Vedanta, sat-chit-ananda is used as a synonym for the three qualities of Brahman. It is the supremely blissful experience of pure consciousness, unity and ultimate reality. When you take care of yourself and you feel good, you can experience the world with clarity and appreciation.  Our dream, is to share these gifts of yoga with as many people as we can!
