Moniek Johnson, BA, E-RYT

Founder/Creator of Healthy Movements International, Namaste Yoga Retreats, YogaWalkk™, Thai Spa & Boutique & ProYogaStaff

Moniek Johnson fell in love with yoga and meditation during her first class in 1996. Starting yoga for the physical benefits, she soon realized it was much more than exercise for her. The experience became a consistent inspiration to be open to the ever-evolving journey of life and to grow in unconditional self-love and acceptance.

After receiving her BA and working in the Health and Wellness Sector of the corporate world for over a decade, Moniek felt it was time to align her work with her passion. Teaching naturally became an expression of her love and compassion for people and life’s journey.

Moniek is a Professional Level Kripalu Yoga Educator, certified through Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. She received her Yoga Nidra certification studying with the world renown Kamini Desai at Arizona State University’s Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) and is also certified in Thai Foot Reflexology. Every year Moniek travels to a variety of workshops and yoga institutes around the world to enhance her knowledge and training. Having experienced yoga and/or meditation in over 15 countries, Moniek effortlessly weaves expanded international understanding into each of her classes and workshops.

When Moniek is not traveling or teaching you can find her at local non-profit organizations, conferences and symposiums speaking to the benefits of yoga and meditation. Moniek is the Founder of Namaste Yoga Retreats™, YogaWalkk™ and enjoys teaching various workshops, facilitating retreats and modalities of movement such as JourneyDance, Core, etc.
