Moni Hunt Yoga and Feldenkrias

About

Monique Hunt

Moni is an internationally experienced yoga teacher, movement educator, and mobility coach with 25+ years devoted to the study, practice, and teaching of embodied movement. Her work is known for creating deep and lasting transformation – helping clients reconnect to their bodies, restore vitality and cultivate strength, ease and a more grounded sense of self.

Alongside her private work, Moni mentors yoga teachers and movement professionals ready to elevate their craft. Through intelligent methodology, refined teaching skills, and embodied presence, she supports others in teaching with greater confidence, creativity, and depth. Her approach blends decades of experience, intuitive insight, and world-class training into work that is both sophisticated and profoundly human.

Embodied movement is, for me, the art of awakening – of bringing body and mind into deep conscious connection. I’m here to guide you wherever you are on your journey – helping you create lasting change through movement, awareness, and intelligent practice.

How it all began

Having obtained my BA in Drama & Dance at Rusden, Deakin University in Australia, I began my career as a professional dancer in 1998. I later moved to the UK to complete my MA in Physical Theatre at University of London, continuing until 2003. Over the following years, I continued to deepen my practice through a dedicated deep study in Yoga and the Feldenkrais Method, learning with some of the most renowned teachers in the world. Across both disciplines, I have been fortunate to be guided by a small number of exceptional mentors whose influence continues to shape my work as a teacher today.

From 2004 to 2010, I was a senior lecturer at Rose Bruford College, one of the UK’s leading performing arts institutions. There, I specialised in training actors and performers in performance-making, directing, and physical practice. Alongside this role, I contributed to a 10-year research project exploring the touch-based ‘Body Weather’ Manipulations series. This work evolved into a deeper investigation of the art of touch and manipulation, including two years of funded research with the Centre National de la Danse in Paris.

Teaching and training have remained at the heart of my work. Since 2018, I have been the lead yoga teacher and wellness therapist at Chateau du Launay Wellness & Detox Retreat in France – an exclusive retreat space devoted to detox, connection to nature, and personal transformation – where I support clients in deepening their relationship to body and self.

In 2024, I co-founded Vim Yoga Academy, an online and in-person Yoga Teacher Training school supporting teachers at every stage through both foundational and advanced programs designed to deepen, refine, and elevate their skills. That same year, I trained with Cameron Shayne and Melyne Shayne, becoming a certified Budokon Yoga teacher and Mobility Coach, further expanding my approach to integrated movement.

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?

Browse my online classes

Many of the clients I have worked with privately and on retreat, experienced meaningful shifts. Feeling calmer, stronger, more grounded, and more connected to themselves. Naturally, many asked how they could continue this work once they returned home. Did I offer online classes? Could we work together on Zoom? Were there ways to keep building on what they had discovered?

Creating an online studio became a natural extension of that request. It allows me to continue supporting clients wherever they are in the world, while also opening the door for new students to experience my approach to movement and wellbeing.

My intention is to offer accessible, high-quality spaces where people can continue their journey, deepen their practice, and integrate the benefits of this work into everyday life.

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.”
Kane H.
"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.”

She is a terrific pedagogue and mentor to improve your practice.”

“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.”
Sophie.D
“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.”
