Mona Doehla Haymaker originated from Oklahoma, lived 17 years in LA. where she started her career in bodybuilding at Gold's Gym. It was here that she took a stretch and flex class that perked her interest to search for more.
Bryan Kest became Mona's big inspiration that led her in 1987 to do a teacher training with Bryan.
Soon after that, Mona started to teach Power yoga in Santa Monica, saying goodbye for good to her corporate life that was engulfing her since a long time. (17 years!)
One year later, 1988, Mona did an other teacher training but this time with Ana Forrest.
Her love for Mother Nature brought her to Asia, finally having found her own Garden of Eden in Koh Lanta, an island in the South of Thailand. It is here were you can find Mona most of the time-sharing her gift at Relax Bay Resort.
Mona coaches a Vinyasa yoga style (also called Flow or Power Yoga) where she teaches the technical aspect of physical alignment, offering modification and variation of the poses, where her love for all that is living shines through her invigorating classes.
