You CAN Complain About Being Busy

October 4, 2016 By Monica Stone 1 Comment

Are you happy doing what you do every day? I’m not talking about working in your dream job. I’m wondering if you find a way to love everyday no matter what. I never know whether I should say yes or no. I have a hard time making decisions, but I’ve gotten better. All growing up I was taught to never give… View Post

My Happiness Project: Boosting Energy

October 3, 2016 By Monica Stone 3 Comments

It’s the first Monday in October, so I thought this was a good day to start the Happiness Project. I know you’re thinking… October? That’s a weird month to start. Why not January?  Why does January have to be when everyone makes their resolutions? I want to start now, so I should follow that! If I wait, I might lose… View Post

If it wasn’t for yoga, I’d still be in bed!

September 26, 2016 By Monica Stone 1 Comment

It’s really amazing to see how much my yoga practice has helped me through my recovery. If you’re generally healthy like me, the differences aren’t noticeable right away. Don’t get me wrong, the changes are dramatic, but composed of small changes over a long period of time. It’s been pretty amazing to go through a surgery and really experience how… View Post

You’re Not Alone. Here’s How I Know…

September 23, 2016 By Monica Stone 1 Comment

Earlier this week, I felt like the world was closing in on me. I’m working on A LOT of projects, and everyone needed my attention. I don’t ask a lot, and I’m pretty giving, but the truth is – my “me” time is important. But, that’s my responsibility.  I took on a million projects at once, so of course people expect me to… View Post

Are Spiritual Hypocrites a Thing?

September 22, 2016 By Monica Stone 1 Comment

For the last Spiritual Book Club meeting, we read Awake in the World by Michael Stone. It was my second time reading it, and it was liberating to get back in touch with his teachings. Sometimes when I’m practicing yoga, and watching yogis on social media, I feel like I’m not as spiritual as I should be. I see so many quotes… View Post

Sometimes Taking a Step Back is Actually a Step Forward

September 9, 2016 By Monica Stone 3 Comments

It’s been awhile since we’ve talked. It’s not you. It’s me. I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical longer than I’ve wanted, but I can see now it’s something I needed. Have you ever just had so much on your plate that you don’t know where to start, so you just decided to not do any of it? Then,… View Post

How I Found Out I Was Anemic & Why I Broke Vegetarian.

June 16, 2016 By Monica Stone 14 Comments

It had been a few years since I had really gone to the doctor, had a physical, and routine blood work, but it was time. I went into the lab to do my blood test, and the very next morning I get a call from my doctor telling me I need to go to the hospital.  I’ve always been a… View Post

Flexibility Starts In The Mind – Not The Other Way Around.

April 14, 2016 By Monica Stone 5 Comments

Sometimes I get questions about how to become more flexible. How do I open my hamstrings, so that I can touch my toes? How do get my leg behind my head? How can I deepen my backbends? First I want to say that I’ve done all of those things. Two of the most difficult postures for me are Supta Kurmasana,… View Post

How to Stop Judging & Start Loving: 3 Takeaways from Rising Strong by Brene Brown

April 12, 2016 By Monica Stone

I recently created a spiritual book club in the city where I live. I did this for a few reasons. Since I left my job, my whole world has been flipped around, and filled with extreme highs and lows. I’ve had to break down walls, own my stories, and fall a lot while building a new foundation. It’s the best… View Post

The 7 Headstands of the Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series (Plus the Learn Headstand in 10 Day Challenge!)

March 26, 2016 By Monica Stone Leave a Comment

When 2016 rolled around, I set some intentions and traditions. One of the things I promised myself was to make sure I rewarded myself with some self-care each month. I made a list of what I was going to accomplish each month, and it looked something like this: January: Massage February: Manicure & Pedicure March: Buy new yoga clothes April: New… 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
