“Monique's commitment to yoga, in general, and her students, specifically, is phenomenal. I felt her complete presence and support throughout the semester. Her generous nature combined with deep practical experience made this class a prayer. From this, I have regained my desire for a daily practice. I have learned to contain the movement within the breath. What a revelation and surprise that no other yoga teacher has shared that. From this I have expanded my acceptance, non-judgment, and patience with myself, believing I have the resources to manage my life.”

"Svastha Yoga is wonderful because it embraces all who attempt it if they just give it a chance and practice it regularly. The chanting and breathing are so interconnected with the asanas I can't imagine leaving it out.”
—Yolanda Martinez, Taos, NM
"The Svastha class was humbling in the way that we were challenged to do simple postures with the most precision of breathing and movement that I feel most classes don't focus on .”
—Shane Brown, Taos , NM
"I understand now that yoga is not about asanas alone. It is about integration, quieting the monkey mind, and restoring balance in all parts of one's life, on and off the mat. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you find it. This has been a rare opportunity, and I know that this yoga program was waiting for me to discover as part of my journey.”
—Christine Wagner, Austin, TX
"In the Myofascial Yoga class, Kirstie, gave instructions so clearly and her knowledge of the body is impeccable. I learned a lot about how to open so many lines in my body. The UNM Yoga Teacher Training is wonderful because I am getting in depth learning from knowledgeable and dedicated instructors in classes that are close to home and are affordable..”
