Sosie's classes are infused with humor, especially in the midst of the challenge. She prides herself on providing modifications as she encourages students to explore the edges of their boundaries without "going over the edge". Sosie keeps it real by presenting her authentic self and holding a healing and elevated space for each person in class.

Sosie holds a Bachelor of Architecture. Though she no longer practices architecture, her passion for building and creating is very much alive and thriving. You might know her from working the front desk and have seen Sosie's Stacks gemstone bracelets that she creates for us at Indigo. She has been practicing Kundalini Yoga since 1995 and has been teaching weekly since 2007.

Monika Pinter

Moni Pinter was born and raised in Hungary. After her life took a really hard turn, she found yoga. Her first yoga class was at Nandi under Jeremy Moran and she was moved by the methods of Jivamukti. She started to feel the benefit of practicing yoga internally and externally.

A few years later she completed a 300-hr teacher training with Sharon Gannon, David Life, Ruth Laurer-Manenti, and Jules Febre in India. She has taken a 300-hr. advanced training with Giselle Mari and Wendy Klein.

Compassion, Satsang, kindness, and spirituality are her true values. Before yoga, she had already started her journey of healthy living, and she completed a holistic nutritional degree at Bauman College in Santa Cruz.

Nutrition and yoga are her true passions.

Yin Yoga targets the joints, fascia, and connective tissue in order to create more space in the body and a greater range of motion. Yin Yoga unites the Body, Mind, and Breath. Calming the breath allows the body to get quiet, when the body is still, the mind can relax, which calms the entire nervous system. Practicing Yin helps you feel more flexible, peaceful, and refreshed.

Unlike other types of yoga, Yin poses are held for longer periods, allowing the tender connective tissues to strengthen and lengthen. Yin yoga can be done by all types of people at all different levels of experience and flexibility because you rely on your own body’s wisdom to let you know how far to go.

All levels welcome.
