Hi, I’m Bonnie.

I have a fierce love for people.

I’ve been described as a Lightning Bolt.

Yoga students say I’m The Velvet Hammer and help them feel big in their body.

Three teenagers call me Mom.

Some friends have named me their Sex Shepherd. 

Random internet people call me Authentic and Brave.

People come to me and feel permission to create and share their real selves.

I like it when people say I feel just as real in-person as I do online. That’s my goal.

I’m here to amplify people.

When I was in third-grade, I got to help in the first-grade classroom.

I was so damn stoked!

That was the beginning of a life full of mentorship that currently supports yoga teachers and practitioners…minus the entire Nancy Drew series that I read that year.

Using my backgrounds in personal training and movement science, yoga, and leadership, I offer a playful and cool AF approach to the yoga flow experience. 

I’m an avid question-asking and boundary pushing person, so everything I do comes with an innovative edge.

My favorite classes in school were always the anatomy ones. I majored in English but geeked-out over dissections. 

Combine that with a strict religious upbringing, then leaving it behind, and you have me landing in a place that’s curious, uninterested in dogmatic or hierarchical practices, and most interested in celebrating the freedom to move.

I’ve mentored hundreds of people to use their own embodied experience and voice. 

Walking next to others who are finding their own strength through movement, mindset and choosing themselves over and over is life-changing to witness.

I know they feel changed…but damn, every person I work with makes me want to live a bigger and bolder life.

Things I like to say:

Your joy is contagious.

Choose your own adventure.

Experiment.

If you want something different, you have to do something different.

Fuck.

We rise together.

Hand to heart.

Make it weird.

Let your teaching be a disruption.

There is no rush.

You are worth it.

Say what you want.

Play.

Bend the rules.

My values are curiosity and bravery.

This is how I approach everything.

I’m a mentor, teacher, podcaster, speaker, creative director and writer.

I adore the yoga community on the gram.

I believe all humans deserve a right to their biggest life, however the hell they decide to do that.

People are my favorite.

And plants.

And pizza.

Sometimes tiramisu.

“Continue practicing until you see yourself in the cruelest person on Earth, in the child starving, in the political prisoner.

Practice until you recognize yourself in everyone in the supermarket, on the street corner, in a concentration camp, on a leaf, in a dewdrop.

Meditate until you see yourself in a speck of dust in a distant galaxy.

See and listen with the whole of your being.

If you are fully present, the rain of Dharma will water the deepest seeds in your consciousness, and tomorrow, while you are washing the dishes or looking at the blue sky, that seed will spring forth, and love and understanding will appear as a beautiful flower.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh

Let’s do cool shit.

I love to work with people, companies and projects to create experiences that make our lives bigger, bolder and more authentic.
