ABOUT ANOA MONSHO
Hey you! I'm glad you're here! Are you inspired by the thought of living in your joy, radiating a sense of inner peace, power and serenity? Me too!
From the time I was a preteen in California's bay area, my best life has coalesced around two practices: movement–yoga, dance, tai chi–and writing. These disciplines have cracked open worlds of wonder and awe and have shaped my mind, body and soul in countless ways.
They can do the same for you. My gift is creating sacred spaces that ignite healing, inspiration, creativity, and joy in community. We devote time to tending our inner gardens, nurturing our intrinsic wholeness, and strengthening our innerspace connections.
By flowing slowly, resting, writing, and sharing our stories, we create stillness within that ripple waves of peace and healing outward to our families, communities, and world. Aṣe. Let's begin...
YOGA + STORY
What happened to the vibrancy and radiance that enlivened you just a few years ago? Are you having trouble sleeping well, experiencing bouts of anxiety, and dealing with health issues like fibroids, arthritis, low back pain, and hormonal fluctuations?
Then, there's that irritating person at work who is plucking your very last nerve...
Take a moment and a long, deep breath. Listen. Your body is whispering, letting you know what you need to feel the wholeness that you are.
Move your body in healing ways, write a true story of your life, and craft a new vision for what can be. Yoga. Writing. Visioning. Joy!

"It was important to me to write in a space where I saw myself and my identities reflected back to me and so that I could reflect that to others as well.

Anoa is a caring and masterful spaceholder who helped to create a space where we could all connect through our words. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

-Yasmin H.
"I love how Anoa weaves storytelling into the movement. In my private yoga session with her, she used the stories to make the poses more accessible. I like that she demonstrates the movement and pose before she guides me through it–using her incredibly soothing voice and gentle touch–so that I could feel the asana and its deeper meaning and purpose, in my body."
-Lisa W.
