Monica Wiest

Instructor

Discovering Ashtanga yoga many years ago transformed my fitness and mindset, sparking a deep curiosity and inner calm. Since then, I have explored various yoga styles, weaving these teachings into classes that enhance mobility, compassion, and release tension in both body and mind. People often say my classes are “an adventure”. By harmonizing breath with movement and stillness, I aim to inspire playfulness, mindfulness, and self-trust. My classes offer tools to nurture resilience through life’s inevitable ebb and flow, whether it is managing stress, catching a bus, or wrestling an octopus.

As a long-time certified fitness instructor, I began my yoga training in 2002 with Iyengar yoga (unfinished) and earned my Yoga Alliance certification in Sivatantra Yoga in 2022. My journey of learning and growth continues! I apply much of the wisdom gained through my yoga practice to my ‘day job’ in the world of reconciliation.
