Program Director & Lead Trainer


Moniqua Guerrero, MA, ERYT-500 is an educator with two decades of experience in a variety of settings and with all age groups. With certifications in Power Yoga (200HR), Therapeutic Yoga (230HR), Adaptive Yoga (300HR) and Aerial Yoga, Moniqua is the Owner of Space Yoga Studio and the Founder and President of the nonprofit organization Project Create Space, which has the mission of providing no-cost, population-specific yoga programs to underserved communities across the Augusta, Georgia area. In addition to her background in yoga, Moniqua also holds a Masters Degree in Hispanic Linguistics and currently teaches Spanish at Augusta University.

"Moniqua taught me to remain teachable always. As a person in long-term recovery, I can now facilitate a trauma-informed practice that is safe for all, and I am able to practice and teach more than just postures to my community. I learned to speak with confidence about social and individual contracts, and to use yoga to create relevancy among students."


Christian Frazier, RYT-200

Graduate, Adaptive Yoga Teacher Training 2019

"I completed this training during a very trying time in my life. I had just lost my career as a Combat Medic in the US Army due to disability, and was suffering from physical and emotional distress. Moniqua not only taught me how to instruct safely and effectively, but this training gave me the courage to change my own life. Now I get to take that message of empowerment to others through the practice of yoga."

"I have done multiple trainings and have been teaching yoga for 9 years, and still learned so much from this training. It made a huge difference not just in my teaching but in my personal life as well. Moniqua is extremely knowledgable and is great at communicating that knowledge to students. If you want to deepen your knowledge and be able to offer even more awareness to your students, register for this training!"
