“While we practice in a group class, Mona pays attention to our individual needs.  I had a pacemaker implanted in my left chest July 1.  Initially, I was not allowed to lift 10 pounds with my left arm which included lifting my own body in plank, down-dog, or similar poses.  During my healing process, Mona continued to work with me to ensure that I was not over-doing it, but it’s not just me.  Over the years that I have been in her group classes, I have often seen her modify poses to accommodate those of us who have “special needs,” to promote our healing process. “                                                                                                                                        - Denise W.
