Yoga and meditation[edit]

Monique received certification through the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan in Los Angeles under the tutelage of Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Harijiwan and Tej Kaur Khalsa.

After leaving Golden Bridge, Tej began her own studio, Nine Treasures Yoga. Monique studied with Tej for over eight years.

When Pamela Dyson's book, Premka: White Bird in a Golden Cage, My Life with Yogi Bhajan[4] was released in January of 2020, accusing Bhajan of sexual abuse, others followed suit. The Olive Branch, an independent council, 3HO, the "Healthy Happy Holy" organization founded by Bhajan, concluded that Bhajan guilty of rape and abuse of multiple women[4].

Reymond helped pilot the yoga program at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Believing Bhajan was guilty as charged, she developed a hybrid class that was featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times, in an article, penned by Jon Healey.[5]

Reymond founded Channel 1111, which aims to impact through creative collaboration.
