"I wouldn’t trade my experience in this training for any amount of money. It provided a strong foundation to my yoga practice, and it’s what I come back to every time I get on the mat. Moniqua understands what it means to meet yourself where you are that day, something
you are not offered at every studio. I am extremely grateful for the mentorship, and community."

"I've been practicing at Space since 2015, and I knew it was the only place for my YTT journey. I started with the virtual courses and later joined the in-person sessions. Moniqua is knowledgeable, patient, and challenges you to dig deep without being overbearing. So thankful for experience and community I gained during this training. It has allowed me to start my instructor journey with an indescribable confidence!"
