Mooni Love
Mindcoaching, Soundbath, Yoga
My name is Mooni Love,
My love for helping people heal and reach their higher self through breath and movement. I approached yoga in early 2000, my understanding of yoga evolved from purely physical into an intuitive emotional, mental and spiritual healing practice. My excitement to share this gift is what inspired me to become a yoga instructor and doing soundbath events.I integrated Reiki training and trauma informed practice to empower others to experience a fully integrated self by removing the blockages that keep us segmented. This can look like stillness, witnessing the breath and adding nothing else. That’s the beauty of yoga and sound healing meditation. There’s not one way, one perfect method we all show up with different backgrounds, limitations and intentions. Which is why yoga is a healing practice. My job is to simply hold space and guide for this journey.
