Meet Monica

Monica is a highly experienced movement teacher with over 16 years of yoga teaching and 3 years of Pilates instruction. She combines deep knowledge of physiology (giving her a rich foundation in both mindful movement and functional strength) with an intuitive teaching style, creating classes that are accessible, restorative, and energising. She is passionate about helping people feel stronger, more balanced, and more connected to their bodies.

Trained in Costa Rica for yoga, and in Malta for Pilates, she brings an international perspective to her teaching, blending traditions with modern movement science.
