OUR STORY
Gregor and Monica each began their yoga journeys in 1978. They met in India in 1995 both there in the pursuit of studying yoga. Together they created 8 Limbs, directed a yoga studio for 21 years, have published six textbooks on yoga and more recently their blog site, Chintamani Yoga.
They live remotely, on a mountain, surrounded by ancient rainforest and overlooking the Pacific ocean. Individually and together they offer workshops and teacher trainings from their home and all over the world.

HAPPY STUDENTS
Par excellence! I particularly appreciated both the academic rigor and deep spiritual practice both Monica and Gregor have invested in probably what is now 80 years between them. Brilliance, love and humour shines through in their giving themselves to teaching yoga, in which I thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed and, I shall take with me to eternity. Namaste.
