3 Words to Describe My Teaching Style:
Emotive. Ecstatic. Fearless.
My music style:
indie soul, house, disco, afrobeat, jazz, dance. soulful lyrics and beats that make you want to move and feel something.
My journey to jaybird:
Mon is fascinated and inquisitive about movement as medicine, as she has witnessed it heal within her own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body, time and time again.
With a lifetime of study as an artist and a human, she has been facilitating movement classes in Vancouver since 2016, and continues to train methodology in Breathwork, pilates, yoga & dance. She is honoured to be a part of the team at Jaybird since March 2022.
Mon endeavours to encourage students to explore dynamic shapes and mobility within their own bodies, while stimulating the relationship between flow and stability, grace and strength, softness and bravery. She hopes to empower students to move their bodies honestly and dynamically, with emphasis on alignment, conscious breathing, and space to explore and witness what comes through. Aiming to energize, emote and stimulate. Expect a place to embrace both the mess and the wonder of this thing called life - somewhere for you to land, stir up, shake out - and perhaps, embody a sense of celebration in all that you are.
words to live by:
“We shake with joy, we shake with grief.
What a time they have, these two
housed as they are in the same body.”
