Testimonial

After years of practicing yoga, I finally took the plunge and signed up for Namaste Yoga's 200-hour teacher training program. It was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Monica leads the training with such warmth and wisdom - her passion for yoga is infectious! I walked away not only with extensive knowledge about poses, sequencing and hands-on adjustments, but also feeling confident to teach from an authentic, heart-centered space. I can't recommend this program highly enough

As a busy working mom, I often struggled to make time for self-care. Then a friend told me about Behavior Wellness & Arts. From my very first class with Monica, I was hooked! Monica creates such an inclusive, nurturing environment while also gently challenging me to move beyond my comfort zone. I leave every class feeling stronger, calmer and more centered. The studio has become my sanctuary
