Jacqui Bonwell has been teaching Yoga since 2005. She is the Director of the Sacred Seeds Yoga School (RYS-200, RYS-300) through Yoga Alliance. She is an Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher at a 500hr level. She began studying Yin under the guidance of Sagel Urlacher and regularly incorporates the Yin philosophy and practice into her teacher trainings. Jacqui is a whole lot of YANG and VERY grateful to have found YIN & Restorative Yoga practices for some kind of balance. I work hard to help others be on their own side and to see themselves as worthy of investment. That this mentality will help not only you, but can be of service to all.
What I love about these practices:
That when you go in the opposite direction of busy (which most of us are in the mind) you build new neural growth. An adult is a child who stops growing and we can still grow!!
I see my Yin and Yoga Nidra practice as a container for my students to explore the deeper aspects of their identity. A gentle, loving reminder of who we are. As a bodyworker and teacher I am very interested in how we hold emotional patterns in the body, and I aim to provide opportunities for healing on many levels through this practice.
My teaching style is fueled by my fascination with renegotiating the mind/body connection and balancing the nervous system, while reminding folks to keep their approach to yoga light-hearted.
What I love about these practices:
I love the adaptability and individuality of these practices: take whatever shape works for your body right now, use whatever props feel right, pick an anchor of attention that suits you this very moment.
