Warm Greetings ~

I am now a certified Tai Chi teacher.  I completed my training with Scott Cole.  I am planning on teaching Tai Chi on Saturday’s at 1:00pm tentatively starting in November. I am also considering additional days and times for Tai Chi.  Zoom Tai Chi will be available and I am looking into a location to hold live classes.  If you know of a location, please let me know. Tai Chi has multiple benefits including improving joint function, enhanced cognitive function, reducing stress and improved balance. I am captivated by this type of movement, and it is a full body workout leaving me feeling great afterwards and I look forward to sharing it with you.

As of August I have been in business for 15 years!  I love how yoga has evolved personally for me over the years and I am grateful we are on the yoga journey together.  A running girlfriend brought me to my first yoga class at the Wellness Center and eventually I decided I wanted to pursue it and incorporate it more into my life.  I was competitively running marathons and other races at the time. After reviewing different schools I called Sun Moon Yoga in Mankato and mentioned my concern that I was a runner and not that flexible.  My teacher Mona said “It’s about the journey.” 

Namaste,

Jill Moncur

  Satya means connecting with truth. Practicing yoga is one way to connect with our inner light.   Breathing deeply, fuels the flames of well-being.   Each day is a fresh opportunity to connect with the beauty of nature.   I had 2 baby hummingbirds visit my flowers yesterday.   Embrace a path that nurtures your soul.   East Bank Yoga calendar is updated on a monthly basis. Namaste, Jill Moncur

I am super happy with the new location for East Bank Yoga operating out of Hills Stainless Steel, 4100 N. Northview Ave, Sioux Falls, SD.   It’s just a jaunt away from Russell and Kiwanis. There is a large window facing a field. It is warm, clean, and inviting.   There are 3 beautiful, live trees in the yoga room.   There is plenty of space with a yoga friendly floor.   East Bank Yoga operates out of Hills on select Tuesdays so register for class at eastbankyoga@gmail.com or 605.759.7459.   Class will take place on Tuesdays, 11/8 and 11/22, 6:00-7:00 pm. Yoga is a practice of peace.    Breathing mindfully is a path to grounding. Inhale slowly “I am whole.” Exhale slowly peace. Namaste, Jill Moncur

  I Love Paths We are fortunate to have beautiful bike paths around here.   Last year along the trail I encountered a fox, multiple deer and best of all, in 3 different locations, 3 very large turtles.   It was an honor to spend a little time looking at the turtle, wise, beautiful and a bit intimidating on one side as I ran on the other side of the path.   We can learn so much from experiencing nature. I appreciate the chakra path. Spending time in nature connecting connects me to my root chakra. Dancing connects me with Swadisthana, the sacral chakra. Marathons and now 13-mile bike rides I connect with Manipura chakra. Studying nature and yoga, I connect with Anahata, heart chakra Chanting is an excellent way to connect with Vissudha, the throat chakra. Daily meditation connects with Ajna ~ third eye chakra Connecting with Sahasrara can be a combination of discipline and yoga. Welcome Back There were times you did not succeed. Walking on the ...
