About me: I'm an outgoing gal who loves to dance and sweat it out. I love inspiring others to keep on moving. Even though I do love to stay active and eat healthy, sweets are my weakness. You’ll sometimes find me eating a salad, just so I can have that cookie. My favorite quotes is “be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” I enjoy hiking, chocolate, singing, dancing, and nights out in the Big Apple.

Say hello to Kristiana Soler. Her family moved to Myrtle Beach from New York and has not looked back since. Her yoga practice began in New York, but it was in Myrtle Beach that she embraced it wholeheartedly. It has helped her find peace and gain inner strength. Her practice has helped her to breathe purposefully and make a mind and body connection. Yoga challenges her to live her best life every day.

Her 200 hour Vinyasa Bhakti training was completed at Yoga In Common and her 500 hour Ashtanga Vinyasa training was done at Shanti Yoga. She will forever be a learner of the practice. She can never thank her instructors enough for giving her a daily practice which has enhanced her ability to be present in the moment and confident in various situations.

In her classes, she loves to provide a balanced sequence, a focus on breathing, and a safe place to explore your body and spirit.  You can also expect to hear inspirational quotes in the beginning and end of each session, non-judgmental language, and respect for who you are. No matter the age, her desire is that you leave my class feeling rejuvenated and strong; physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

When she is not practicing yoga, you may find her at a local event, bird watching from her patio, or doing creative projects. She also enjoys reading and video games. Her favorite place is where the heart is.

Meet Megan Monte: an NASM Personal Trainer and Nouflex Virtual Trainer looking to help you reach your lifestyle, health, and fitness goals! When she isn’t teaching eighth grade English, she’s programming workouts for clients, running Nouflex workshops for new trainers, creating healthy recipes, surfing, and hiking. Her fitness journey started with following ill-advised fitness trends that made her body and mind miserable, before she truly educated herself and became the happiest and strongest she’s ever been! Because of this experience, she doesn’t promote fads or endless burpees, but instead uses science and peoples’ preferences and abilities to help them achieve the lifestyle change that makes them mentally and physically happy. She would love to meet you and give you a free consultation.
