MOONYA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING FOR WOMEN
The Foundation – Module 1, 30 Hours
This in-depth and experiential training is the first part of the MOONYA YOGA FACILITATORS TRAINING, which you can apply to if you wish to facilitate Moonya Yoga, Shakti Yoga or any style of Feminine Yoga. Moonya Yoga is a style of Shakti Yoga; the new movement of change within yoga, that awakens and celebrates the feminine energy through yoga.
I have developed Moonya Yoga in close connection with other women developing what now is coming to be called The Shakti Yoga Movement. I am grateful for all inspiration I have gotten and happy to contribute to this field with my specific flavor.

WHAT SOME WOMEN SAY ABOUT THE TRAINING
”Moonya Shakti yoga is an amazing type of yoga which invites you to deeply connect with yourself; your body, mind, soul as a unity. Through breath work, free movement, shaking and stillness, you are invited to sound, move, feel… be.
It is an empowering feeling to dive deep into yourself, to discover who you are really meant to be, and then be allowed to be you. This is a safe place and Mira is amazing at holding space for everyone.
What moves me the most is the incredible sense of unity that comes from practicing Shakti Yoga, and the community that is being built off the mat. There is no guru; there is just us between the sky and the earth. And that is enough.
Forever grateful for this training and the people I got to share it with.”
– Sophie Gudmann Knutsson
“Mira guides the breath, body, mind and spirit to such a calm, pure and sweet place within me. Together with sweet dear sisters, I allow a higher vibrating version of myself to be born.
Shakti Yoga TT is a deep dive into the deepest part of our being. I’ve learned how to access it myself and how to lead others to reach the same place. If modern yoga is all about the physical posters and breath control, then Moonya Shakti Yoga adds so many more layers: relaxation, sweetness, freedom, energy flow, creativity, and connection to source and sisterhood. It makes me feel proud to be a woman. I’ve practiced yoga for more than 17 years and never have I been able to access such deep places inside myself and allow my true being to be expressed as in Shakti Yoga.”
– Fia Garvner Agoo
”Shakti yoga is about remembrance. Remembrance of connection. Relationship. Remembrance and acceptance of all the nuances. Of all the different tastes of life. Of all the different layers of you. Remembrance of the deepest love. Remembrance of your true essence. It’s like being reborn to something so pure. Raw. True. Free. I’m beyond grateful for Mira and my Shakti yoga sisters. I’m also so grateful for this wisdom and can’t wait to let it influence my own practice even more – and to hold space for other sisters to taste this practice of freedom!”
– Caroline Fladvad
“Mira is a magic space holder. By standing completely present she guides the whole group through their individual journeys, at the same time as she guides the whole group on a collective journey. Mira’s teaching is so life changing since she lives what she teaches. She is 100% genuine.
With Shakti Yoga Mira has created a big goodie bag for all women – a goodie bag with more joy, power, laughter and pleasure.”
– Jenny Frick
