TRAINING:
Formally Trained at the Himalayan Yoga Academy Rishikesh, India under the teachings of Kiranj Moraryie and Ashish Sharma, A school of Hatha Yoga. Influences come from a range of forms - ashtanga, vinyasa, yin and an intensive period of kundalini yoga in Rotterdam, NL, at Cherdi Kala. Key teachers since, for whose passion and knowledge I am hugely thankful, are - Michael Stone, Mark Stephens, Leslie Kaminoff, Stephen Thomas, Helga Baumgartner and Richard Freeman,.
Experiences over many years in contemporary dance, Alexander techqniue, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Psychocalisthenics, Kinetic Awareness and Sounding - aswell as a long engagement with western psychology and philosophies of world religions - have deeply influenced my practice and teaching. Central to my studies at Cambridge were modules in Buddhist and Hindu Philosophies and I maintain a strong belief in breaking down boundaries of misunderstanding through learning, to nurture open minds.
Monique is Teaching intensively since winter 2015, and has regular classes at Open Yoga Bern, CH .
