Nurturing personal resilience and confidence, enhancing ability to tune in to world around me
Columbia, Missouri
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 approach yoga and life from a trauma informed perspective. Non judgement, compassionate awareness and adaptability are the pillars. I specialize in working with people in recovery from addiction.
I love the self study aspect of yoga and meditation, especially in the stillness of yin. I can deeply and honestly listen to my body, my thought patterns and witness my habitual patterns. This allows me to be able to be more authentic and in tune and supportive of my students.
Albany, New York
I am 68 , in recovery 30 years and practice with woman who are going deep in the practice and changing their lives . I am humbled to be able to practice with them.
So, I teach Yin and my best friend teaches power yoga. She says practice with her to work on your body, then practice with Cheryl (me) to heal your mind. We need both to live in this world. Yin compliments all the yang practices and that's what I love.

South Portland, Maine
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.

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 primarily teach Yin and Myofascial Release and vinyasa classes along with meditation. I am also an ACE certified personal trainer.
I love how all forms of yoga and meditation have the ability to educate us through movement and breath, calm, strengthen, and allow healing in the body. I love educating my students about their bodies and providing techniques to heighten awareness, release tension, help with stress and anxiety, encourage self-care and ultimately give them a better quality of life.
Flagstaff, Arizona
Yin yoga and guided meditation provide a necessary platform for quiet transformation to occur. My goal is to lead people through an experience into their own bodies, to tap into what they are actually feeling. The end result is a greater appreciation of the present moment and the beauty and possibility it holds.
I love the opportunity to just Be Additional website: www.springboardpilates.com
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
My teaching comes from the history of Yin paired with my background in psychology, creative expression, and empowerment.
I love the release of ties (physical and mental). To dive into my own yin practice is such a treat in the midst of life, parenting, and teaching. Yin affords me a beautiful home to come back to for mental and emotional clarity, and balance throughout my body.
Maynard, Massachusetts
I love to pair my yin classes with a chakra.
How it encourages my practice of surrender.
Millerton, New York
My teaching philosophy is based around balance - focusing on balancing all the things you love.

Yin is for every body!!!
The space it creates within and around oneself
South Portland, Maine
I love teaching in a trauma informed way, holding space for what might emotionally be under the surface of the stillness and sensation. I also love teaching classes for queer and trans populations.
Yin offers me the space to stay and make friends with the things physically and emotionally I am tempted to avoid or rush through.
Falmouth, Maine
I have been teaching Yin at the YMCA in the town I live in for over two years, I have been teaching Yoga Nidra once a month for the last six months. All I have for props are blocks that Y provides and I encourage my students to bring blankets and pillows.
I love how Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra help to heal. I feel this in my own body as a student and have been told by my students how it has helped them.
Ellington, Connecticut
Yoga meditation teacher, counselor, certificate interfaith studies. Guiding students through their yoga practice is my deep honor and joy. Love seeing students' self-awareness, compassion, self-trust and community grow on and off their mats! My classes are meditative and playful - embrace, develop and be compassionate!
Wholistic- building mind-body-spirit connection
Beverly, Massachusetts
I strive to combine a strong physical awareness of my students bodies in space along with fostering the appreciation of pausing in space.
I love how the practice meets me where I am on any given day. I have grown to appreciate the pause and space of these slower practices.
Boston area, Massachusetts
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.
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.

Arundel, Maine
I'm the Co-Founder of VASU studio, an urban yoga studio + lifestyle community located on the East Coast, US. I believe that it you can breathe, you can do yoga. Our studio mantra is 'come as you are." Invite all parts of yourself to your yoga mat!

Yin yoga invites one into a shape and allows room for reflection, breathing, mindfulness and to dive deeper into the moment.
Windham, Maine
My own yoga journey began in 2009. To look after my own health and manage stress, I got back into cycling, a sport I enjoyed earlier in my life. When I first tried a little yoga, I thought it was just going to be an occasional "stretching" activity to help improve my cycling performance...but I quickly developed a passion for the philosophy and broader practices of yoga! After several years of experiencing the benefits of a regular yoga practice, I decided I wanted to share the power of these practices with others, and embarked on my first training program. I continue to look for new things to learn, experience, and offer to others. If you are looking for a sweaty, athletic yoga practice...I'm probably not your guy. If you're interested in exploring functional health and holistic mind-body wellness while having a little fun along the way, you'll probably dig my vibe! In my teaching, I strive to blend humor and philosophy to help everyone experience the benefits of yoga practice in a fun, empowering, and safe environment.
Building community, one breath at a time.
Massachusetts, USA
Yacep./E-500 Ryt Certified with Yoga Aliance/I was drawn to yin for its simplicity. It's challenge to pause and allow yourself to become an explorer of your own internal as well as external landscape. I am also a reiki level 2 practitioner and an end of life doula. I have been teaching yoga for over ten years in my community. I love to travel anywhere and anyplace time allows. I teach from my heart. My sequences and theme generally reflect something that I am struggling or experiencing. I love when a new student becomes hooked on the benefits of a yin practice. That aha moment when the practices finds its way into the mind body and soul.
The opportunity to become still and aware.
Massachusetts, USA
I offer trauma-sensitive yin yoga, and often mix yin with gentle qigong-inspired movements and myofascial release techniques.
Yin yoga to me is a practice of self-enquiry. An opportunity to slow down, to rest in stillness, and to learn about our own bodies, minds and hearts. Social Media: WeChat (ID Susanna25) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7E4wOFJGQIacdR5s7mJRUA
