Laura Monk is a San Diego based yoga and Pilates instructor, retreat host, mentor, and founder of Soulfish Events. With more than a decade of experience teaching movement, she has led classes, events, and retreats around the world, creating experiences rooted in movement, adventure, music, connection, and time spent outside.

A 500 hour certified yoga teacher and Pilates instructor, Laura teaches vinyasa, yoga sculpt, mat Pilates, yin, meditation, and AstroYoga. She also works in corporate wellness and mentors yoga teachers and wellness professionals as they build more intentional, sustainable paths of their own. From 2023 to 2026, Laura served as a lululemon Ambassador, furthering her work around movement and community.

At the heart of Laura’s approach is flowstate: getting out of your head, back into your body, and more connected to yourself and the world around you. Music is an essential part of that experience, creating energy, emotion, and a sense of freedom that carries through her classes, events, and retreats.

Outside of teaching, Laura is happiest outdoors, especially near the water or in the mountains. Whether she is swimming, sailing, scuba diving, hiking, backpacking, or exploring somewhere new, she is drawn to experiences that bring you fully into the moment and remind you how big and beautiful the world can be.

Laura has hosted retreats in Nicaragua, Ojai, Joshua Tree, and along the coast of Croatia, with Sardinia planned for 2027. From the mountains and desert to the ocean, each experience is designed to be more than an escape. It is a chance to move, explore, spend time outside, experience a destination more consciously, connect with incredible people, and rediscover the parts of yourself that can get lost in everyday life. The goal is to come home feeling more connected, more alive, and inspired to bring that same sense of freedom, adventure, and flow into whatever comes next.
