Verónica Labrador
Verónica Labrador Monteiro is a NYC Yoga and Meditation instructor. She is also a high school Spanish teacher with more than two decades of experience. She first discovered yoga in 2008 at a time when she was experiencing stress which was adversely impacting her health. She asked a friend to accompany her to a class and it was love at first sight. She knew she wanted to share this gift of wellness with others. She received her 200 Hour certification through Breathe For Change, a trauma informed program with a comprehensive focus on the principles of Wellness and Social Emotional Learning. Verónica is committed to creating classes which promote a sense of belonging and positive self worth. She draws upon her experience as practitioner and educator to create a space that is safe, inclusive, and welcoming to each and every body. Verónica is in deep gratitude to all of her mentors and teachers, especially Dr. Rose Erin Vaughan and Melissa Soong, with whom she has completed over 100 hours of Meridian and Yin Yoga training and practice.
