Instructor

Jill Moncur, E-RYT, Reiki Certified
I completed my yoga teacher training at Sun Moon Yoga Studio in Mankato, MN. Having been an avid long distance runner for many years I’ve found that I am equally passionate about yoga. Yoga in Sanskrit means “To Unite” and this is one of the many aspects of yoga that has resonated with me. Each time I practice I gain insight. In addition to insight I’ve found transformative energy, healing, and continue to be in awe of the intelligence and beauty of yoga. It is an honor to share yoga with others.
I am an inspired advocate with an intent to create a supportive, ongoing and evolving yoga practice.  
I have a perennial interest in the study of yoga.  Classes consist of weaving the ancient wisdom of meditation and pranayama combined with cultivating, building and maintaining strength and flexibility in the body.
Workshops attended:  Yoga for Strength Training, Yoga Therapy for Anxiety and Depression Workshops, Yoga on the Table, Prenatal Yoga Workshops, Yoga Nidra  with Richard Miller, Chant as a Powerful Tool for Healing with Sonia Nelson, Embodied Anatomy workshops with Amy Matthews, and Ayurveda. Online: Clinical Aromatherapy

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

  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
