Med over 20 års daglig praksis i Ashtanga Yoga, bærer Monika med seg en dyp erfaring og et sterkt nærvær i sin undervisning. Hun har undervist i mer enn 12 år – både ved Puro Yoga i Oslo og gjennom egne kurs, retreats og workshops, samt i fengsler og bedrifter. Monikas undervisning er forankret i både tradisjon og livserfaring. Hun har studert med blant annet Alexander Medin og Pernille Bønkan, og har fordypet seg med sertifiserte Ashtanga-lærere internasjonalt. Gjennom ulike faser av livet – som kunststudent, gjennom graviditeter og småbarnstid, og i en travel hverdag – har hun vendt tilbake til matten, igjen og igjen. Hun vet hvor utfordrende det kan være, men også hvor transformerende praksisen er. For Monika er yoga mer enn bevegelser og pust – det er en livslang vei til balanse. Hun underviser med varme og tilstedeværelse, og møter både nybegynnere og erfarne med respekt og åpenhet. Hennes tilnærming til yoga vektlegger likeverdigheten mellom det myke og det kraftfulle – i oss og i livet.
“Yoga er en skattekiste. En indre ressurs vi alltid kan åpne – for styrke, balanse, selvregulering og ekte glede.” – Monika

How can we develop strength to be better equipped and protected in our practice? Strength comes from within, and in this workshop we look at inner mechanisms and exercises we can use—both in physical practice and through awareness of Tristana—to strengthen the whole yoga practice.
We will also reflect on strength in life: how cultivating strength on the mat can make us stronger in life. Starting with foundational asanas from the Ashtanga sequence, we gradually build toward more complex postures. An energetic and inspiring workshop for all levels.
