When was the last time you
had a date with...
yourself?
Hi Beautiful!
I'm Bonnie, and I'm so happy you're here!
I'm Bonnie, and I'm so happy you're here!
I help you grow a relationship with the most important person in your life - YOU! Getting to know your true self is the answer to living a more peaceful, vibrant, balanced, and joyful life. Awaken to new beginnings by travelling inward through gentle yoga, meditation, relaxation and/or self discovery practices. Stick with me and I'll show you the way.....
Step 1 - Make time for YOU
Stop feeling guilty and make time for yourself a priority!
Did you know that:
- Having a self care routine that includes relaxation and/or meditation is actually GOOD for your health!
- Running on stress hormones wreaks havoc on your central nervous system which can make you feel tired, anxious, depleted and uncertain when decision making.
- Meditation and relaxation practices can help to calm your nervous system so your body and mind can have an opportunity to rest, digest and heal which can help to reduce blood pressure, alleviate stress and anxiety, and improve sleep.
- Going within helps blossom your relationship to your true Self so you can gain clarity, have a better understanding of what brings you joy and experience more peace and bliss.
PLUS: when you calm the nervous system, you release happy chemicals into your blood stream! Who doesn't want more of that??
Step 2 - Follow your heart's true desire
When you don't have a goal or desire to focus on, you can feel lost. You live the life you think you should, but forget about how you truly want to live and feel. Going inward to listen to your heart is a gift because you can calm your thoughts while relaxing the body and mind to allow your true desires to be revealed to you.
Be honest....do you suffer from the "I'll be happy when" syndrome? Waiting for something to happen, or to have that certain thing to experience happiness, is just a waiting game. Here's the truth...until you learn to experience your inner joy, you'll keep searching for it on the outside. If you want to change your perception of reality, you must go inward. As I always say, "joy is just a breath away"......
Step 3 - Join me for a class or private session
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a practice that cultivates the art of going inward to deepen your relationship with Self. During restorative yoga the poses that you will experience are not the typical "active" yoga poses. Rather, you will experience 2-3 poses per class where your body is supported with the use of props (like blankets, bolsters, cushions, and eye pillows) in order to calm the central nervous system to invoke deep rest and restoration. When we experience deep rest, it is nourishing for the body, mind and soul allowing us the opportunity to heal, rest and digest. There is nothing else to do in this class, but simply be. Doesn't that sound heavenly?
Mindful Movement Yoga & Meditation
In mindful movement yoga and meditation you will explore active asana (poses) while incorporating breath (pranayama) to move energy through the body. This class will help you to stretch and strengthen the body and mind through various yoga postures incorporating movement and stillness. The practice will end with a shorter variation of Yoga Nidra guided meditation. During the meditation portion of this class, you will have the opportunity to go inward and experience deeper levels of rest and relaxation. You can equate this meditation to enjoying a delicious dessert after a meal.
Yoga Nidra Meditation
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation designed for deep relaxation and introspection. It can be referred to as Yogic sleep. It is a space that we enter right before we fall asleep (when we are neither awake, nor asleep). When we are in this threshold, we can experience creativity, rest, healing and transformation. We can also see and experience things that were previously invisible to us. Being in Yoga Nidra is calming to the central nervous system which gives your body the opportunity to rest, digest and heal.
All you need to do is lie down (or sit comfortably), listen and be guided, or simply be without any expectations at all.
Private Sessions
Being a certified Aroma Freedom Practitioner and Certified Yoga Teacher specializing in restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra meditation, I have a unique ability to help you listen to your heart's desire and start living with more joy, peace and balance. Through intention setting and finding your path of going inward, you can awaken to the truth of who you really are (which is pure love and joy). In private sessions, I hold space for you to journey into self discovery and relaxation. Whether you want to try a restorative yoga class or Yoga Nidra meditation class in a private session, and/or create an intention with an ongoing focus, I'm here to help you discover your path to experiencing more peace, balance and joy.
NOTE: Thursday November 17th 9:30-10:30AM class will be Mindful Movement Yoga & Meditation this week. Thank you!
