Mona Therese Winston E-RYT 500

Mona Therese is originally from Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2005 she moved to the United States of America.

Mona Therese has always found the body fascinating, not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually. Her many years as a therapist and teacher of Yoga, Body Work, Massage, Reflexology and Reiki Healing have given her profound insight into the mind/body connection.

Mona Therese is an adventurous person, whose career has evolved from a deep interest in the Human body and its capacity for movement, starting with classical ballet that morphed into gymnastics, then aerobics and fitness until eighteen years ago where she found her roots in Yoga and meditation.

Mona Therese’s practice and inspiration in Yoga comes from Ashtanga, Iyengar and Sivananda; all of these valuable teachings which she incorporates into her teaching of Vinyasa Yoga. These three practices of Yoga and her teachers Lino Miele (Italy), Gwendolyn Hunt (New Zealand), Swami Shankarananda Giri (India) and Amy Cooper (USA) have inspired Mona Therese to stay true to the tradition of Yoga.

Mona Therese is grateful for the time she has spent in the presence of the 14th Dalai Lama, as well as her time in Plum Village, France, with Thich Nhat Hanh -- experiences which in her own words "changed my life."

Mona Therese teaches at the Shasta Yoga Center Mount Shasta, CA. OmGaia yoga Dunsmuir CA and at the Vajra Pani Yoga Teachers Training founded by Amy Cooper.
