Redfield Yoga – Renew, Rewild, Relax is a serene and welcoming yoga studio located in Buckingham, New Zealand. It is owned and operated by Mona Baur, a highly qualified and experienced senior yoga teacher. With a deep passion for nature connexion and sustainability, Mona strives to create a space where individuals can renew their mind, body, and spirit, rewild their connexion to the natural world, and relax in a nurturing environment.
Mona, originally from Southern Germany, has been living in the UK for over thirty years, with the last sixteen years spent in the Redfield Community in Winslow, Buckinghamshire. She believes in the power of communal living, growing food, and sharing resources. As a yoga teacher, Mona incorporates her love for ecology and nature connexion into her teachings, often conducting classes, workshops, and retreats on the grounds and in the woodlands of Redfield.
Having practised yoga for over thirty-five years, Mona follows a post-lineage yoga approach that is non-hierarchical, inclusive, and community-focused. She holds the highest standard of certification from Yoga Alliance as a Senior Yoga Teacher, as well as the British Wheel Diploma. Mona is also a Senior Member of the Teacher Training Faculty at Whitespace Yoga, where she teaches the Philosophy Module at the 200hr Foundational Yoga Teacher Training. Additionally, she has obtained further qualifications in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Yoga for Backs, Pregnancy Yoga, Women's Health Yoga Therapy, and Ayuryoga.
Her breath work facilitation skills further enhance the holistic experience she provides.
As a nature connexion facilitator, Mona utilises her MA in Movement, Mind, and Ecology from Schumacher College to create a transformative experience for her students. In an effort to encourage practitioners to reconnect with nature, all classes, workshops, and retreats are held outdoors on the land from late spring until early autumn. This allows individuals to feel at home among nature and fosters a deep sense of respect and reverence for all living things. Mona incorporates yogic, eco-somatic, and shamanic tools in her workshops and enjoys collaborating with communities to create meaningful experiences.
