DANA MONSON
Dana was born and raised here in Kirkland where from a very young age she grew up following in her Dad’s footsteps and playing volleyball. She has always loved working hard and staying active and when she found Bikram yoga in 2005 after graduating from Lake Washington High School, she fell in love. The intense 90-minute class was just the challenging workout she had been looking for. She continued her practice when she was in school in Santa Barbara, CA, and was disappointed when she transferred to WSU that there was no Bikram yoga to be found. She found herself drawn to the yoga and Pilates classes offered at the school gym but still practiced Bikram yoga everyday that she was back home for breaks. Dana introduced her mom and sister to yoga as well, and they all began practicing at The Ashram soon after it opened. Dana was a student of Gary’s for almost four years before she decided to attend Bikram’s Teacher Training in San Diego in the fall of 2010. |
