Julia Monosova

Julia Monosova was born and raised in Ukraine where she obtained her business degree and also trained as a dancer. She always felt that there was something more to this life, higher purpose. After moving to NYC and meeting her spiritual guru, she realized yoga was something that she was always looking for. It helped her to discover that everything she has been seeking her entire life has always been right inside of her. It gave her answers to so many questions.

​

With the guidance of her guru she developed a deep appreciation for the combination of personalized physical practice with a strong spiritual foundation. The experience with Yoga completely transformed her life, and she was inspired to dedicate herself to helping others by spreading the knowledge of yoga, and empowering and inspiring others by her own example.
