Advocating for an individual's agency so that they can be seen and feel better within their own human experience.
Monia Fernandez (Mo-Nay-yuh) She/Her
Yoga is a practice. Life ebbs and flows; presenting obstacles as well as opportunities. It’s up to you to decide on how you react to what occurs. Do you freeze or do you flow on? For Monia, this is where Yoga begins. Good or bad, failure or accomplishment: How can she remain true to herself and her practice within any situation? This practice has shown her her inner strength and has led her on a journey of self-discovery. Her hope as a teacher is to help her students get a step closer to their Yoga and to foster their own abilities.
She been a student practicing actively practicing yoga since 2015 and has been training as an teacher since 2020. Her hope as a teacher is to help her students get a step closer to their yoga and to give them tools to guide them through the ebbs and flows of life.
Her approach to yoga is fluid movement with focus on breath and structure. Encouraging students to stay grounded/present within their practice while simultaneously helping them to maintain their strength and ability.
Acknowledging the importance of being adaptable, while understanding that I will not change a person, but will refine the stories their bodies tell.
