about us
why?
In the quest to find a path of self-knowledge, joy, and nurturing the spirit, we decided to create Monky Temple. A multicultural yoga space that allows us to share experiences and learning from different parts of the world.
Monky Temple is mainly inspired by the spirituality that is felt in the daily life of Bali and its beautiful landscapes that remind us to continue on the path of peace and inner knowledge. That is why year after year I return to this paradise.
I learned the foundations and bases of this discipline in Mexico, and later, I sought greater understanding of the origins, roots and authenticity of yoga in India. I strengthen and challenged our body in Thailand; and finally for 6 years I have shared the knowledge in Dubai as a professional teacher.
Today, we want to continue growing, sharing and learning with you in this space.
WELCOME to Monky Temple.
meaning of our name:
- Indonesia has 40 different types of primates.
- In Hindu culture the monkey king (hanumanasana) is recognized as a hero son of the wind.
- A scattered, active mind that’s full of thoughts, is commonly known as: Monkey mind.
- Monk represents the inner peace, calm and equanimity that is achieved through meditation.
- The first physical and spiritual temple is your body. Beyond you there are special spaces to practice your spirituality, we want to guide you in both.
The meaning of the word and spelling created the name Monky Temple.
We start virtually with guided yoga and meditation classes accomplishing the essence of our mission. Once the pieces fit into place, the physical space will open, so stay tuned for future news.
Our mission and purpose is to help raise the level of consciousness through the practice of yoga and meditation in its different styles and modalities and nurturing the soul through the senses. We know that in general, all practice of Yoga seeks this, however what is truly unique about Monky Temple is the combination of our energy, knowledge, style, skills and care in what we do. This is our commitment, to share our knowledge and practice from our hearts.
We want to share with you this path of self-discovery, so both the content of this page and your being (physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual) will be in constant transformation and growth. We hope you try it and enjoy the experience.
