Maine, USA
My teaching is informed by my walking adventures across the US. I've walked 100 miles in 35 states now and taken a huge variety of yoga classes along the way.
Nurturing personal resilience and confidence, enhancing ability to tune in to world around me

Arms wide open
What I love about these practices The quiet.
Cohasset, Massachusetts
I try not to be so serious, anyone can practice yoga- you don't need to come to my class with the perfect zen mind or flexible body. I also like to teach themed classes e.g. heart opening in Feb. and a lot of root work/grounding exercises in winter.
The feeling of slowing down and reconnecting with myself. Eliminating the outside world for a minute.
Boston, Massachusetts
I have always had a hard time with silence and being by myself. Yoga has helped make that silence a little less deafening. It has taught me to trust myself and my body, be patient with progress, and to have a sense of pride despite failure.

Portland, Maine
Teaching excites me! I am so grateful for the opportunity to get creative and to share yoga with beings of any/all body types & abilities. Where there's a will, there's a way and I'll always do my best to make yoga accessible to anyone who wants to practice.
The craving for the inner lengthening of the body and the peacefulness of the mind!

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.
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!!
My classes are rooted deeply in yogic philosophy and I aim to create relaxing immersive experiences available to all levels and abilities
Yoga is a deeply spiritual practice that just so happens to have incredible physical, mental and emotional gains. I love how available yin is even, and especially during challenging times or when dealing with injuries. It's quiet, introspective nature.
Portland, Maine
I love teaching slow forms of yoga and hope that my teachings can translate easily into daily life.
I love the meditative quality of Yin Yoga. Sometimes sitting still in Meditation can be hard for people, Yin Yoga slows you down so that it ends up being a meditation in slow motion. Yoga Nidra also is a unique way to access this meditative state.
Wellesley, Massachusetts
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.
Connecting with the true self
Massachusetts
Nothing makes me happier than to see someone walk in the door to take some well deserved time for themselves. I strive to make my classes as comfortable and welcoming as possible.A place where people know they can show up just as they are, no matter what.
Yin, meditation, restorative, and yoga nidra are the unsung heros of yoga. In my opinion, they are advanced practices and simply because in today's society, we have a hard time slowing down. It takes discipline. Once you start incorporating them regularly.
Massachusetts, USA
Humor, the silly kind, is so important to me.
I love that the practices allow me to come home to myself.
Portland, Maine
I focus on linking the breath with movements, I encourage my students to find what feels good for them. I love sharing yoga with others. I also offer Massage, Polarity & Reiki.
I love how Yin allows me to slow down, go inward, focus on what feels right for me in that moment. I also love how open & spacious my joints feel afterwards. Additional Website: www.Posabilities4u.com

It is an honor to share these tools with others. In teaching these practices, I receive so much more than I ever give. It is deep and sustaining. I am currently teaching Zoom Yin classes. Please email if interested and I'll send the Meeting ID and password.
Gentle, deep, meditative, brings me home.
