Yoga has been something that I've always wanted to do, and now that I am finally doing it I'm so glad that I found Bonnie! As a massage therapist, I've always been aware of how my body is feeling and moving, but Yoga with Bonnie has helped me explore the mind-body connection. Her classes are unique and challenging, nurturing and up-lifting!

Last summer I had such severe hip pain that I was really afraid that I would need surgery. I had been active all my life as a skier, runner, road biker, and triathlete. I have also been a weight lifter for over 20 years. After approximately 25 years of wear and tear, I thought the time had finally come and that my hips had worn out from over-use. It is not unheard of for athletes to have to undergo hip replacement surgery before 50, and I thought this was my destiny.

My sister, who lives in California and has been doing yoga for years, was listening to me complain about my constant state of pain and suggested that I give yoga a try before I just give in to the thought of surgery. Yoga had never seemed very realistic to me, and I certainly didn't want to try "yogarobics" which seemed to be all the exercise rage. I decided I would give it a try, but only with a private instructor who could give me a solid command of the poses. I very much believe that in any exercise, fundamentals are key - and I wanted an instructor that believed in teaching the fundamentals. Bonnie has been GREAT!
I now feel more than competent to participate in any group class and haven't had hip pain since I started. The yoga Bonnie has taught me has loosened me up to a point that I feel great. I couldn't give Bonnie a higher recommendation. Her instruction always passed quickly. She has a great personality and is a fantastic teacher.
