Event Review: Raise Your Vibrations Through Kirtan (Mantra & Chanting)

February 23, 2014 By Monica Stone 1 Comment

I can’t remember when I attended my first kirtan, which is strange because I love it so much. It’s hard to explain, but it just feels so good in my heart and I smile instantly when I start singing and chanting. From the first time I realized how good it felt, I started to crave it, and I just kept… View Post

The Vinyasa In Ashtanga Yoga (The Why & How)

February 11, 2014 By Monica Stone 2 Comments

In the Ashtanga Yoga practice, we do a jump back and jump through between all seated postures. Sometimes, these are referred to as Vinyasas. Just to quickly clear some confusion, the word Vinyasa means the linking of breath and movement. When I refer to a “vinyasa” here, I am referring to a series of movements between postures. I’m not sure… View Post

January 27, 2014 By Monica Stone 4 Comments

Quick Note: There are many breathing methods for practicing yoga. This one is primarily for the Ashtanga practice, and it’s also good for beginners to expand breath and breath awareness.  The most important aspect while practicing yoga is the breath. When we practice yoga postures, the action we take is called, vinyasa, which means breath linked with movement. All we… View Post

Testimonials

  • Jaime ShearerJaime ShearerYoga Student Since 2012

    Monica is dedicated to her own practice and the true path of yoga - the one of personal experience - which makes her an outstanding teacher. She is warm and easy to talk with, and she allows the student to have their own experience on the mat. She explains postures and breath in ways that are understandable so that the student "gets it." She makes yoga real and tangible in ways that truly serve the student. Work with Monica. You'll be glad you did.

  • Jacob AbercrombieJacob AbercrombieYoga Student Since 2011

    have always wanted to try yoga, but was always nervous. Monica took that fear away and made me feel like i was the only one in class with a room full of strangers. She is able to work with multiple students during the same move and still make it a personalized class for one.

  • Serena JonesSerena JonesYoga Student Since 2010

    Monica has been a highly influential teacher to me. She creates a safe environment for learning and practice. I have always felt grounded in her classes, and she pushes me beyond my own expectations. She inspires and motivates! I can't imagine my life without sharing a path with her!

  • Angela OrofinoAngela OrofinoYoga Student Since 2011

    Monica is a caring, wise, thoughtful, and talented yoga instructor. She has an in-depth knowledge of the philosophy and spirituality of Ashtanga yoga. My previous yoga experience had mostly just been at my local gym. Luckily, last year I found Monica. She has been guiding my practice at least once a week since then. As a newcomer to Ashtanga yoga, Monica made me feel comfortable and had the patience to teach me the basics. She also encouraged me to start an at home practice so that I was able to obtain a deeper understanding of Ashtanga. Monica is always encouraging and lets me know in subtle ways when she feels that I am ready to move deeper into my practice. I feel that the growth in my practice over the last year has been tremendous. Not only do I notice the change in me but others around me do as well. I am so grateful to have found Monica!

  • Sasha TamarSasha TamarYoga Student Since 2012

    I’ve come across many a yoga instructor over the years, but Monica stands out as genuinely amiable, as she glows with an infectious inner light, and highly devoted to and passionate about her practice. Her dedication to Ashtanga as a lifestyle is very clear, and creates for a contagious motivating force. Every time I’ve practiced with her, she eagerly transmits her devotion and passion of Ashtanga and meditation to everyone in class; she makes the most fledgling beginner feel at home, and simultaneously challenges the more advanced students. While I only practice Ashtanga with her, I know she provides therapeutic yoga sessions as well as meditation. And, if her methods of guiding students out of the Ashtanga vigor into the more meditative savasana are indicative of her meditational techniques, I’d recommend her to anyone
