About Monique
If you’re in midlife and your body feels less predictable than it used to — you’re not imagining it.
Many of the women I work with are active, capable, and busy — juggling work, family, and caring for others — while quietly worrying about aches, anxiety, or losing confidence in their movement.
I’m Monique. I found yoga at a time when I felt frazzled, stretched thin, and disconnected from myself.
What began as a way to cope became a lifelong practice that’s helped me navigate motherhood, work, and the changing demands of my body — without pushing or pretending nothing was changing.
My teaching is not one-size-fits-all.
I combine yoga, movement science, and functional breathwork to help women move with confidence — especially when they’re afraid of hurting themselves or “getting it wrong.”
I bring over 20 years of teaching experience and two decades of personal practice into every class — working with real bodies, real lives, and real limitations.
My approach is gentle without being passive, informed without being overwhelming and always rooted in kindness and safety. If you’re looking for yoga that meets you where you are — without pressure, comparison, or fear — you’re very welcome here.
“Monique's teaching is excellent, she is so attentive and offers personalised movements adapting to each individual, even during group classes. I was new to yoga and having worked with Monique one to one, online and in a group setting I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Enjoyed reading a little about me? I share weekly thoughts on yoga, midlife and the things that help us feel more like ourselves. You're very welcome to join me.

I’m a certified yoga teacher (teaching full-time since 2005)
Oxygen Advantage Advanced Breathwork Instructor
Breath.Body.Mind™ Level 3 Teacher
I also mentor yoga teachers on the Heart and Bones YTT, run trainings on the business of yoga, and speak at industry events.
What that means for you is this:
You’ll be guided through practices that are supportive, intelligent, and sustainable — designed to strengthen your body, steady your nervous system, and build confidence without fear of injury or burnout.
I specialise in working with women through perimenopause and beyond, using yoga and breathwork to help ease anxiety, brain fog, fluctuating energy, and the sense of disconnect many women feel during this stage of life.
Whether you join a class, work privately with me, or simply take your time getting to know my approach, you’re invited to move at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’re ready to feel more confident and at ease in your body — I’d love to support you.
