Monica Xu

Hi! I’m Monica. Let me tell you a little bit about my journey and how my passion has brought me here. I’m a mom of 2 young girls, and I can say wholeheartedly that a self reflection during motherhood has landed me right here. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and have worked over 10+ years in the demand planning industry. I started to practice yoga because I wanted to get some movement after sitting at a desk all day.

What started as a form of exercise and a time filler in my early 20’s has now evolved to a form of just ‘being’ - through breath, movement, and a state of mind. As I evolved personally through lived life experiences, I started to realize that the inner work and physical practice has transformed into a way of life. My journey to children’s yoga began when I started to wonder how I can add tools and techniques to empower and impact my children's world. I want to provide children with the lifelong tools in their mental toolbox and where they can make this a learned behaviour in a natural way. It could only brighten, benefit and enlighten their world, touch their hearts and minds because they truly are our future.
