Born in england and long time native of metropolitan detroit, I have been a practitioner of yoga for over a decade and recently continued my studies completing a teacher training certification in michigan under long time teacher linda kay nathan.

Teaching from the heart and taking the mind and body on a journey to a euphoric state, enhancing physical health and well being, by integrating techniques from many incredible teachers that continue to inspire me.

My classes have the intensity for purifying the body and calming the mind, increasing strength, stamina, flexibility and balance while assisting students experiencing transformation through breathe and movement.

Her teaching style has evolved from her personal practice of yoga asana (physical exercises), pranayama (study of breath) and meditation as a spiritual discipline. Through the good grace of yoga shala – as directed by Veronica Zador – Monica was introduced to the meaning and application of Patanjali’s yoga sutras.

Monica first approached yoga through a dedicated practice of the ashtanga-vinyasa system as taught by Sri Pattabhi Jois. In the summer of 2005, she trained along side Sri Dharma Mittra. She is the only teacher in Michigan who has completed Dharma’s rigorous training program and has received certification to teach his practice sequence.

The art and practice of yoga continues to be a source of Inspiration to me.  It offers an ongoing opportunity to explore and expand physical and mental limits.

I am ever grateful for the opportunity to have studied with Linda Kay-Nathan, my teacher and mentor.  Her wisdom and guidance have prepared me for the privilege of teaching and facilitating the personal journey of others.

It is my experience we are ageless and capable of more than we may have believed we could create and enjoy.  As a teacher, it is my honor and pleasure to represent that yoga is a practice for life.

The inner peace experienced through yoga allows me to be actively present in my life even through all of its idiosyncrasies. Life is nothing but beautiful and sacred when living with grace, love and mindful curiosity.

Although a teacher, I am forever a student. With the humblest of devotion, I am grateful for the privilege of studying with the ever-lovely Janet Stone who guides me on my own personal journey. With the humblest of gratitude, I am grateful for my students from whom I continue to learn. I encourage each of you to come to class to experience the joy of discovering your inner being and all of its radiance and beauty.

There are many other benefits: as a tool for helping to adjust physical or mental issues, for slowing the aging process, for increasing strength and flexibility, for enhancing the sensual life, posture, skin, and vitality, and increasing overall well-being.

Please join me…and remember…continuity of practice is the secret of success.

Nick Nahat has been teaching and practicing yoga for a number of years, and gratefully acknowledges all the teachers and students, each and every one a guide, who has been part of the journey.
