Monica Berglund is a certified Bikram Yoga teacher since spring 2007.

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, and via the deep woods of Kolmården (central Sweden), Monica has been living in Stockholm since 1992.

Monica started practising Bikram Yoga in 2005 after looking for a type of practice that would fit into her busy work and family life: "I wanted to find something that was physically challenging and at the same time gave me peace of mind after a stressful day at work". Monica immediately noticed the positive benefits of Bikram Yoga – both physical and mental. The practice increased her physical strength and helped her manage stressful situations at work.

As Monica's interest in yoga grew, so did her desire to become a Bikram Yoga instructor in order to transfer her feeling of wellbeing, vitality and joy to other people. As a result, Monica travelled to Hawaii to attend the Bikram Yoga instructor program in spring 2007.

Monica is looking forward to teaching at Bikram Yoga Södermalm.
