Motivated by the possible mechanism for the pinning of the electronic liquid crystal direction in YBCO as proposed in \cite{Pardini08}, we use the first principles Monte Carlo method to study the spin 1/2 Heisenberg model with antiferromagnetic couplings $J_{1}$ and $J_{2}$ on the square lattice. The corresponding low-energy constants, namely the spin stiffness $\rho_s$, the staggered magnetization density ${\cal M}_s$, the spin wave velocity $c$, as well as the ground state energy density $e_0$ are determined by fitting the Monte Carlo data to the predictions of magnon chiral perturbation theory. In particular, the spin stiffnesses $\rho_{s1}$ and $\rho_{s2}$ are investigated as a function of the ratio $J_{2}/J_{1}$ of the couplings. Although we find a good agreement between our results with those obtained by the series expansion method in the weakly anisotropic regime, for strong anisotropy we observe discrepancies.
