About 

Hi, I’m Monika, a very calm and kind person deeply passionate about supporting women in releasing stress, soothing tension and finding inner calm to boost well-being and resilience.

 

As someone who spent 20 years working in a high-pressure corporate job in Business Continuity Management, navigating raising a family, being a daughter to parents based in Poland, and supporting my husband through illness, I discovered that yoga provided time and space to allow me let go of it all, to reconnect with myself and care for myself. This soothed, strengthened and energised me, and allowed me to continue showing up for others.  

 

​​My yoga journey, and the teachers I practised with, inspired me to become a yoga teacher and dedicate my work to helping other women feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally through yoga and experience its multilayered power. 

​

​​​​I set up Monika Gago Yoga in 2022 and now offer beginner-friendly uplifting yoga and chair yoga classes based on Hatha and Yin styles of yoga, relaxing sound baths, and nourishing well-being retreats for women in Harrow, Pinner, and Rayners Lane. 

 

Everything I offer is gentle and kind, with options and props offered, so everyone feels supported and welcomed, no matter their experience, fitness level, mobility or ability. This is because I believe that the most beneficial yoga practice is one that teaches the person how to adapt the poses and movements in line with how they're feeling in their body, mind and heart at the time, rather than trying to force oneself to look like one of the yoga pose images we might see on social media. ​

​

When I’m not teaching, I love to keep expanding my skills and knowledge, so that I can share it with my customers, you’ll also often find me in nature (my happy place) or spending time with dogs (my other great love).​​​
