Balanced Living is learning how to find a greater sense of harmony within yourself and with the world around you. Both physically and mentally, attaining Balance is a process. It’s the daily practice of determining what you need to even out your body, mind and spirit. Balanced Living helps you manage time, stress and relationships. It increases your productivity and performance, and has the power to fill your life with happiness and satisfaction.

Green Monkey gives you the tools to find Balance in your life.

We understand that life is complicated. That’s why we’re doing the legwork for you. So if you’re busy, don’t know where to start, or are unsure who to trust, Green Monkey has you covered. We aren’t reinventing the wheel; we’re just making one that’s easier to roll!

The Core Values at Green Monkey are: Positivity, Balance and Community.

Tree Houses are the places where the Monkeys get together and hang out to experience Balanced Living.  This is where you will be able to join us for class, participate in a workshop, or simply hang out with the Monkeys and take advantage of the free internet we have at all of our Tree Houses.  We offer yoga, Pilates, martial arts, rehabilitation, mediation, and other mind-body practices that will help you lead a positive life.  Tree Houses also are where the Monkeys host Professional Teacher Training Certification programs that guide you on a journey towards deepening your physical practice.  At the Tree Houses you can also swing by the Monkey Bar to pick up a refreshing drink or look around our Re-TAIL section and see if any of our products and services jump out at you!  So come hang out at a Tree House in a jungle near you!

We currenlty have three Tree House locations, each with it's own unique community and atmosphere!

South Miami :  A Monkey original.  Swing by and hang out at our two-studio sanctuary in the heart of South Miami on Sunset Drive.
Miami Beach:  Bringing Balance to the Beach.  Swing by and hang out at our shiny new haven overlooking Sunset Harbor in South Beach.
Midtown Miami:  The Monkeys are swinging into this new location in January of 2011.  We know this neighborhood is up and coming and we’re excited to be a part of such a cool scene.  We know there are Monkeys around Midtown and we can't wait to meet them.

A few "Monkeyisms" that anyone who hangs around the Tree Houses are bound to hear:

The Monkey Bar (mBAR): This is our Front Desk where all our mBAR Monkeys sign you in before class.

Monkey Mingle: These are parties with our fellow members, instructors, friends and families.

MonkeyNet: This is our website.  You are actually on MonkeyNet as we speak!

Re-TAIL: This is our boutique, which is filled with wellness and green products and apparel.

Monkey Love: This is exactly what it sounds like - you'll notice we sign al our letters and emails with this.  It is how we express our love for our community and express our tratitude.

Monkey Business: Having fun and making positive changes around the world.

Monker: This is a bad monkey!  Someone who doesn't follow the Tree House rules or isn't kind to their fellow Monkeys!

Coming to Green Monkey for the last 3 months has been a life-changing experience for me.  I am now in the best physical and mental shape I’ve been in for many years.  In addition, the staff has been extremely friendly and helpful, and the energy here is always vibrant and positive.  As a cardiologist, I have started recommending Yoga to my patients and my peers, for the amazing health benefits that can be achieved.

I LOVED the (violin) class.  I was truly blown away by the vibration of the violin with my practice.  I think strings is amazing and soothing.  Maybe cello?

Working with Green Monkey has been a great experience. We are a fast paced agency with a very unique culture, and the corporate wellness program GM offers was the perfect customizable fit. Their instructors are so enthusiastic and able to adapt to the personalities our company has. Their variety of program demonstrations and topics helps us to provide a diverse wellness program for our associates. I would certainly recommend Green Monkey for any corporate facility or individual.
