wo do it

We believe that wellbeing leads to greater joy, and that being joyful can change the world.

where we
started

Monke Temple was born from the intertwined journeys of two sisters. One discovered yoga as her passion and purpose, a path that soon expanded into meditation and teaching. While leading retreats in Bali, she realized that true wellbeing blossoms when we also reconnect with nature.

how we walk
this path

Our philosophy is simple: to serve our customers and humanity, inspire healing and wellbeing, and channel learning and awareness, through the movement of the body, the presence in the moment, personal growth, and the care of Nature and all living things.

what
guide us

  • Breathe. Pause, breathe deeply, and return to the present so every thought, decision, and action comes from awareness.
  • Be kind and compassionate. Act from love, let it guide your choices, and honor the interconnectedness of all beings and Nature.

I’m a lifelong seeker of knowledge, justice, and balance for both the Earth and humankind. My yoga journey began in college, thanks to my mother’s gentle nudge. She must have known something I didn’t yet: fell in love with yoga instantly, even as I pursued a corporate path.
