Hi, I’m Moni.
I’ve always believed that coming back to yourself can be as simple as moving your body, taking a breath, or creating a little more space to actually feel what’s going on inside.
My path has taken me through many different rooms — from movement studios in New York City to meditation cushions, from strength training to yoga, from managing studios and building communities to teaching classes that make people feel a little more at home in their own bodies.
I teach Yoga, Pilates, Strength, Sculpt, Stretch, and meditation, but more than anything, I’m interested in the space where all of these things meet.
For me, movement isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming a different version of you. It’s about getting curious. Building strength. Softening where you can. Finding your breath. Laughing at yourself when things feel wobbly. And remembering that your body is not something you have to fight against.
My meditation practice comes from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and it has deeply shaped the way I teach. I love bringing these practices into movement in a way that feels accessible, grounded, and very human — no experience, flexibility, or perfectly peaceful mind required.
After years of teaching and working in wellness in NYC, I returned to Costa Rica, where I’m now based in Nosara. Being back here has brought me closer to a slower, simpler way of living and to the kind of community I want to create through my work.
Entre cuerpo y alma is really just that: a space to take care of the whole thing.
The body.
The mind.
The heart.
The messy, beautiful human in between.
I’m so happy you’re here.
