Moniek Ross-Johnson, Founder/Instructor
As founder of Namaste Yoga Retreats, Moniek offers a style of Hatha Yoga that honors the body, quiets the mind and
frees the spirit. Moniek pours her heart into each practice, encouraging peaceful, self acceptance. Her first formal class
in 1996 was the beginning of a beautiful exploration of body, mind and soul connection and health.
 Moniek has a passion for love and life that is also expressed through dance. Modern dance is her favorite style because choreography
doesn't hender authentic dance expression. Moniek encourages people to freely express the dancer within themselves,
with full acceptance and joy.
Moniek has a BA in Business Management from
University of Texas at Dallas and worked in the corporate world for over 15 years. She certified to instruct JourneyDance™
and also studied Kripalu Yoga at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, MA. She is CPR/AED & Standard First
Aid trained and certified to teach group fitness by AFAA. Her vision is to mirror and facilitate authentic self experience
and expression through the stillness of yoga, the movement of dance and the quietness of meditation.
