“I highly recommend Monique’s workshops. She is brilliant and insightful, and perhaps more importantly, has the ability to go straight to the heart in the most loving and inspiring way.”

“Monique reached out to our writers and helped them embody their creativity through yoga in a way that delighted the beginners and gave something new to the more experienced yoginis. Her style of yoga is very suited to helping to dissolve creative blocks and increase creative flow!”

“Several days into a writing workshop with lots of sitting, my trick knee started acting up. I had to start wearing my knee brace, yet again. After just one yoga session with Monique, I was able to continue the workshop without pain, and— without the knee brace. I even took a long walk and cut a few dance steps. Monique tailored each session to our needs, keeping an eagle eye and gentle corrective hand on each of us at just the right moment. The yoga (therapy) sessions I shared with Monique transformed a week of worry into a week of balance, in every way.”

“Yoga is one of the best ways I’ve found for getting into the space to write. Monique offers a great service to writers (and people) who want to lead an engaged life. ”

“I had the experience of a lifetime with Monique. I went into the session feeling as though my heart were breaking. Monique created a safe environment that gave me the experience my soul was calling out for. Immediately afterwards, I was inspired to write a nine page letter to my deceased husband that I’ve been wanting to write for over two years. My heart felt free all week to make new friends, to let life in, and to allow my body to become my pen again.”

“I have been doing hatha yoga for ten years, but still consider myself a beginner. Monique’s unique blend of Vedic wisdom and gentle, caring presence made me feel safe in her yoga class. She always began class by asking the group if we had any injuries, areas that needed attention, and even what kind of day we’d been having. At the Writer’s Spa, she immediately intuited that we needed help not only in our stiff, aching shoulders and necks from bending over computer keyboards, but also in our solar plexus area, where self-confidence hides. There are some angels who are truly blessed with a healing touch and Monique is one of them! She is the best therapeutic practitioner and yoga teacher I have experienced, (and that includes 4 years of physiotherapy, acupuncture, osteopathy, and massage). She was able to put her finger on the problem right away, and now my neck feels better than it has in two years.”

“I’m a middle-aged morbidly obese woman who has been challenged by health issues for nearly a decade. My previous experience with fitness activities have been painful and discouraging. Many of my peers were raving about what an amazing instructor Monique is, and I became intrigued by the possibility that I might be able to join her class. Monique adapted the movements so that I could participate from a chair; her genuine approach allows students to engage in positions at their own pace and within their own comfort zone. It is so obvious that Monique is called to serve others at their point of need.”
