Breathe
Relax. Take in a deep breath. And release...
Welcome to my website. I’m Debra Monaco: Yoga instructor, Astrologer, and Artist. Feel free to relax and stay a while.
Greetings
Hello everyone! I would like to extend my heartfelt desire for a season of peace, tolerance and empathy. As always, I extend my love and gratitude to every one of you. I am grateful to you all for choosing to attend my Yoga classes – or any Yoga classes. I truly know that when we practice mindfulness in any form, we benefit ourselves, others, our planet and beyond…
For those of you who have expressed an interest in the inspirational blurbs and books I’ve read (from) during classes, I will add their titles to this site under “Inspirational Sources.”
For those of you interested in Astrology. Certainly we are living in interesting times. It is always an important time to examine our own authenticity and integrity as we traverse our individual paths. Our lives interweave with the lives of others, the consciousness you bring to the planet has its affect on the whole. If you need some insight into setting your own intentions, assessing your own motivations, and making thoughtful decisions, astrology may be helpful. Click on the Astrology link to learn more.
If you have questions about Yoga or Astrology or want to contact me for any reason, you can click on the Yoga or Astrology links and scroll down to the bottom where there is a place for your questions. Your communication will go directly to my email address. I will respond to you, in as timely a fashion as possible, and thank-you for your interest!

What's New?
Right now my calendar is updated. So classes, that I’ve already committed to, are on the calendar for 2025. Please remember that although the Virtual classes are free and mostly ongoing, they run about 2 month sessions (register through Massapequa Library website: massapequalibrary.org). You must be registered to receive the link which changes every couple of months. Don’t be afraid to register for one or both Virtual classes, so you’ll have access whenever you’re able to make a class. Whether you have your video on or off, I love seeing your names (and faces) and feel connected, at least in some small way, to each of you. Hope to “see” you soon!
Massapequa Adult Education (In-Person) classes started September 30th. For students enrolled in those classes, you can go to the Massapequa school district website: www.msk.k12.ny.us under adult education section each morning of class, to make sure that day’s class has not been unexpectedly cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. The next Adult Education session begins in the Spring 2026. If you have questions about the in-progress Fall 2025 session, or future sessions, you can now email the Massapequa Adult Education office at: adulteducation@msd.k12.ny.us for more information.
There will also be a Massapequa In-Person class at, and registered for, through the Massapequa Library. That will be coming after the holidays – the 2026 dates are not yet on my calendar.
And lastly...
Hello everyone! I apologize for my procrastination and negligence of this lovely website…I have no worthwhile excuses, so instead I intend to do better.
As we enter the holiday seasons filled with focus on contemplation, transformation, gratitude, giving, forgiving and joy, I focus patiently on removing obstacles to my own heart power of nurturing, compassion, empathy and courage. Surely then, the floodgates will open, and that energy will thrive in and around me.
We are magnificent creators, every one of us! What have you been busy creating? Just look around you. If you don’t enjoy what you see, feel, hear, experience – change it, or change your thoughts about it. Start with stillness….go from there. I am blessed, so are you…have a lovely day. Love and blessings to you all and this beautiful planet and beyond…
