How we teach om Yoga Key West classes always include pranayama, asana and savasana (breathing, movement and relaxation). Attention is paid
to alignment and intention. At the end of a session you will feel relaxed, recharged and happy. Through breath, asana and
awareness, all systems of the body are toned, benefiting students of all levels. om
Classes are informed
by a variety of hatha yoga styles .
Monica teaches Prime of Life Yoga ®. It's a style that is appropriate for everyone, but especially suited to those age 45+.
Her yoga study includes almost 50 years of Iyengar, Kripalu, Shivananda, Anusara and other hatha yoga styles. She completed her teacher training in the Sampoorna yoga style with Shri Yogi
Hari, a direct disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda and Music Master Swami Nada-Brahmananda. She is also certified in Yoga
Nidra as taught by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Other studies include Aqua Yoga with Nancy Curran; Qigong training with Jeff

since 2010. She is a Yoga Alliance registered 200-HR Kripalu Yoga Teacher having studied with Deva Parnell at
Discovery Yoga in St. Augustine, Florida. She travelled to Vancouver, B.C. to train and become certified to teach Yin Yoga
with Bernie Clark. In addition, Linda is certified in the Yoga for All teaching method which supports teaching
yoga to people in non-traditional yoga bodies. Linda believes that whether you are coming to the mat to free tension, quiet
a busy mind or find spiritual renewal, your personal journey should always be one of self-discovery. Kari
is a certifed MediYoga instructor, as well as a licensed Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist, and Pet Massage Therapist.
Her love for animals and nature has inspired her to take her therapeutic treatments outdoors. Surrounded by beautiful tropical
plants, birds, and butterflies, she is now offering MediYoga sessions and Massages to people and pets in Key West.
One of the reasons why Kari thinks
yoga and massages are important is that they allow us to pause in our busy lives and reconnect with ourselves. The slow
and controlled movements of MediYoga minimize the chance of physical injury and provide the opportunity to bounce back after
stressful events and thoughts.

Yoga classes at the Garden are usually small, ideal for exploring yoga for the first time, or getting back into your practice and benefiting from individual attention. High season classes
may be more crowded. The word Yoga comes from the ancient Sanskrit language.
It means the process of union, or to join or to yoke. The
practice of Yoga allows you to connect body, mind and spirit, and to appreciate the essence of who you really are.
Through
breath, movement and awareness, all systems of the body are toned. At the end of a session you will feel relaxed,
recharged and happy. m
