Monique is from Caraquet, New Brunswick, a small French town on the beautiful Acadian Peninsula. She practices several sports, but her two favourites are biking and cross-country skiing.

She came to yoga about ten years ago. With a couple of other women, she decided to meet once a week and practice yoga together. Monique enjoyed it so much she immediately started studying yoga by herself, but she quickly realised it was not enough. She realised she had to go further in the exploration of yoga -- most importantly to share it with another.

So with the support of her husband and two sons, in 2004 she began the AYTT 200 hour program in Halifax. “What an incredible journey" she would say, "coming from a French town, barely speaking English."
