Jesus - The Greatest Teacher
Monique has studied under many great yoga teachers, and discovered that what makes a yoga teacher great is not her level of fame, not her ability to do advanced yoga poses, and not her credentials. What makes a yoga teacher great is her ability to see the student’s essential being, accept that student as she is, and encourage that student to do the same.
This accepting attitude is also what makes a yoga student great, which is why Monique tells students, “Whether you are more flexible or less flexible…younger or older…male or female….a yogini or yoga newbie…your practice is beautiful and right just as it is.”
