Monique Stewart

Yoga Instructor

Studio Yoga

Monique is a registered yoga teacher (RYT) with 200 hours of yoga training in Integrative Yoga Therapy from Sundara Yoga in Austin, Texas. Monique born and raised here in Bryan/College Station. She had done yoga on her own off and on with DVDs for about 10 years but then came back to it in earnest in 2012 as a way to get some stress relief. So, she enrolled in a class here at Studio Yoga! However, what she found and experienced went much beyond stress relief. Do you remember a time, perhaps when you were a child, when just moving was more fun than you could possibly imagine? Exploring all the different ways our bodies could move with curiosity and wonder with absolutely no judgement? Each movement, no matter what it was, big or small, intricate or jumbled (and sometimes tumbled!) was a celebration. This is what yoga has brought her to remember.  Any age, any body, has the opportunity to move, breathe and experience wonderful things. This was all too good not to share so in the fall of 2012, she did a 200 hour yoga training in Integrative Yoga Therapy with Sundara Yoga Therapy in Austin, TX so she could be certified to teach. Oh, and the lovely little redhead.... that's her "niece", Kara, a very exuberant Brittany. Monique considers her to be the poster child for "joy through movement" which is what she strives to bring to each practice.... minus the barking and digging.
