Moni Hunt Yoga and Feldenkrias

About

Monique Hunt

Moni is an highly qualified and accredited international creative movement practitioner and teacher. Having studied, practiced, and taught embodied movement at all levels for over 20+ years, Moni is dedicated to encouraging her students to deep dive into the nature of being human, from their own perspective

I strongly believe embodied movement is the art of truly awakening the body and mind . I’m here to help guide your through finding your own elevated state of being – no matter what stage your at of your transformative journey.

How it all began

Having obtained my BA in Drama & Dance at Rusden, Deakin University in Australia, I started my career as a professional dancer in 1998. I later moved to the UK where I studied my MA in Physical Theatre at London University, and continued to 2003. Fast-forward 4 years and I began refining my disciplines by becoming a student of some of the most progressive Yoga and Feldenkrais institutes around the world. See Moni’s Credentials here.

From 2004-2010 I became a senior lecturer at Rose Bruford College of Performing Arts in the UK. A key participant in a 10-year research project of the touch based ‘Body Weather’ Manipulations series.

Since 2018, Moni has been the lead yoga teacher and wellness therapist at Chateau du Launay Wellness & Detox Retreat in France, where she continues to educate her students on finding their own sense of being.

My unique approach

With a deep revere and respect for intentional movement and the philosophy of science-backed movement education, I combine various Yoga and Feldenkrais traditions with touch-based practices to cultivate an elevated and sensory embodied response. My approach to guiding regular self care embodies creativity, playfulness, wisdom, and transformation that redefines the wellness culture and encourages all shapes and personalities to the mat.

“We are far more powerful than we know and how we have been led to believe
By truly understanding the intelligence of nature, including ourselves, we would change the nature of our world, our relationship to it and to each other! I believe one of the first steps towards this, is to start with ourselves and by developing a consistent mindful and meaningful movement practice.”

Why do I offer online classes?

For some of my students who have worked with me on a one-to-one basis discovered a true grounding, inner stability and sense of calm, that they want to nurture and expand on. I was asked by many of the clients I work with (at Chateau du Launay) how they can continue with my work? Do I have an online platform? Do I do zoom? Do I run my own retreats?

Offering an online studio has been a natural response to continue to help my clients from afar, and for those who have never worked with me, the opportunity to experience a new way of moving. I truly want to provide platforms for people to continue their journy, expand on their sense of wellbeing and reap the benefits felt from the retreat or workshop.

Kind Words

Beautiful and inspirational words from my wonderful students

Meeting Monique and catching a glimpse of the light - that should sum up my experience with Monique. She taught me yoga, and God knows my joints didn't want it, but since then it has become a necessity, an essential part of my life. She taught me to look at things from a different perspective, that you wouldn't necessarily see if you didn't have this open-mindedness, this elevation of the spirit. It has given me significant things, phrases, postures, a height of vision, that have changed my relationship with others and with myself. It has brought a new peace to my bubbling mind. Monique is a rare person, beautiful, luminous, a rare yoga teacher and words will never be enough to repay her for what she has given me.

Your practice encouraged me to calm and slow down and resist the fast pace of chasing, reaching and climbing beyond myself. Your practice was introspective, grounded in feeling and listening attentively to myself and others. You encouraged a self-reflective approach that went beyond understandingmovement-but thinking expansively of my own energy within the world.”

"The sessions of Feldenkrais were like nothing I had experienced before. The ways in which Moni helped me to notice the changes happening as well as the connections between the different parts of the body in a gentle way, allowed me to actually feel embodied. I feel so energised after each of these sessions and with Moni’s gentle approach and expertise in helping me notice what was happening in my body. I found a new kind of respect and awe for what my body is capable of.”

“I discovered yoga three years ago thanks to Monique. Today it is an integral part of my life and well-being. She has a holistic and open approach to yoga, combining spirituality, years of practical experience, knowledge of the body and openness to other methods like Feldenkrais. She is a terrific pedagogue and mentor to improve your practice.”

“Your KTKali massage was an incredible experience. It is the most extraordinary massage I have ever had. Your hands are healing. You have a very special gift. I highly recommend your work.”
Catherine.L
“The KTKali massage is a profound experience. It took me deep inside myself, to journey through many different worlds. Your touch is so deep and resonant. I want everyone I know to have this experience. Thank you so much.”

“I love Moni’s classes. I can honestly say that she has transformed my practice in so many ways. One thing that I truly appreciate, is the way that she breaks down the movement in each pose, helping us to understand how and why we are moving in a certain way. Her detailed explanations have allowed me to progress in my practice, I can fully embody the movements with a renewed understanding of what my body is doing. Moni is encouraging, supportive, and she creates a warm energetic buzz in each of her classes. If you're looking for a yoga teacher who can help you deepen your practice, I highly recommend Moni.”
