Testimonials
The real journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in seeing with new eyes” quote by Marcel Proust. This quote came to life for me when I experienced Mona’s 3 day yoga nidra course in May 2023. After a career in corporate America, I needed a reset, a transformational experience going within after so much external focus and conditioning to look for external validation. I experienced an internal shift and an experience of peace, acceptance and joy. Mona transports you through guided meditations that are unique and powerful. She gives you the keys to go inside and find your joy within. Don’t hesitate, step into your power and experience the world with new eyes :).” - Maeve Coburn, ISHTA TT Grad
“I took Mona’s Yoga Nidra course because I was curious about meditation in all its forms. I never knew about the power of the hypnagogic state, or that there was a way to tap into that power to bring about different effects in the mind and body. Learning Yoga Nidra from Mona is a rare and valuable experience that will stay with you. Her passion for this practice really shows, as well as her ability to bring you to an expanded state of consciousness, all while teaching you how to bring that gift to others.” – Amanda Baehr Fuller, ISHTA TT Grad
“I am so grateful for having taken Mona’s Yoga Nidra Course! It is immensely beneficial to teachers who want to incorporate yoga nidra in to our classes, and students who simply want to incorporate yoga nidra in to their own lives. During the course, we were given a lot of really helpful information on the individual steps that make up yoga nidra, as well as scientific reasons behind why and how it works. All fascinating! Mona manages to. weave all of this wonderful information together in a fun, practical, and very creative manner. Her brilliance in her knowledge of all these areas is so profoundly inspiring and her enthusiasm and presence are always a sheer delight. Thank you, Mona”- Dionyssia Fillios, ISHTA Yoga Teacher, RYT-500
