This is me. Monja.

I am a mother of two, yoga teacher and practitioner, reiki master and nature lover. From my heart, I wish to nourish and uplift others, through sharing holistic yoga practices and reiki.

I want to uplift others by sharing with you my own experience with yoga, reiki and sound healing, the positive impact that these practices have had on me and teach you how these can help you on your own journey.

It’s a pleasure to meet you.

My biggest wish is to impart to my students the many gifts I have been blessed to receive throughout my ongoing practice and studies – a greater sense of authenticity, presence, strength, grace, gratitude, compassion and love for all living beings. I offer deep reverence and gratitude to my teachers in all of their forms.

I am an advanced certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher (800hrs+ Jivamukti, 75+ Kula Yoga NYC) based in the Lisbon area in Portugal. I have taught yoga across many studios in NYC, Munich, Berlin and now Portugal and I continue to teach workshops in Europe and the US.

I began my yoga practice and studies over 20 years ago in Germany and have been teaching yoga for over 18 years. My experience as a former contemporary dancer is integrated into my teachings of a mindful, creative & uplifting vinyasa flow that focuses on intention, breath, alignment and grace.

How I Practice

My years of international experience, and the adventure that is motherhood, have enabled me to develop a unique combination of healing and yoga practices. My classes are holistic, they are full-being experience of physical and energy work as well as meditation. I combine my own experience with different styles of yoga including Kundalini and Vinyasa, as well as the powerful techniques of Reiki and Sound Healing. I teach both in German and Enlish, online and offline. Whatever you might need.
