Monica StoneWith a background in gymnastics, it was no surprise that Monica was drawn to dynamic movements and energy that yoga offered. After trying many styles of yoga, Ashtanga found Monica in the midst of her college years and she was not only satisfied by the intensity of the practice, but also found that it also afforded a deeper experience that lies within. She knew that she wanted to continue to deepen her practice, and become a teacher so that she could share the gift of this practice with others.
She began a dedicated ashtanga practice in 2007, and received her 200 hour Ashtanga Vinyasa based Yoga Alliance certification with Krista Shirley, a level 2 authorized teacher from the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in India in 2010. In addition, she has attended workshops and has been greatly inspired by Manju Jois, Greg Nardi, Tim Feldmann, Tim Miller, Govinda Kai, Kyle Roberts, Lewis Rothelin, Kino MacGregor, and Paul Dallagan.
In December 2012, she took a trip to Twentynine Palms, CA where she attended an 10 day Vipassana Meditation retreat and spent some time in Encinitas studying with Tim Miller and his apprentices. She mentions that this journey helped her to understand her practice in a whole new light.
