Monika Jakobik
Upon learning that she had a moderate to severe form of scoliosis 8 years ago, it was suggested to Monika that she try yoga to strengthen her spine and relieve her occasional pain. She started exploring the Bikram practice and noticed the wonderful benefits from the very first class.
After a few years of Bikram yoga, she realized an incredible transformation in her posture, her body, her mental and physical strength, and most importantly, her spinal transformation. Her dedication to Bikram turned into a quest to learn other styles of yoga: Hatha, Power, and Vinyasa. Her main focus was getting her body and mind strong in order to be strong in every aspect of her life.
Monika completed a summer intensive 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training certification and focused on challenging herself, while growing spiritually during the course.
Monika has dedicated herself to the spiritual and physical aspects of yoga, and is living proof that yoga can heal and transform the body and mind. Given her own achievement, she is devoted to her students’ success as well.
She incorporates very challenging core strengthening postures that strengthen her students’ bodies and minds. This combined with breathing, meditation practices, and a touch of humor makes her classes challenging, fun and relaxing.
“A home that heals your body, calms the mind and strengthens the spirit.”
