She holds certifications in Yoga for Women Cancer Survivors, Pre-Natal Yoga, Sport Yoga through the National Endurance Sports Trainers Association, and both Mat and Ring Pilates through PowerHouse Pilates (following the strict teachings of Joseph Pilates).Her yoga practice took her to new heights, specifically the Roof of the world, Tibet. She's been interviewed on "In The Spirit," Radio Show on WRPI 91.5 FM for her ongoing support of the Tibetan Home of Hope Orphanage (THOH), in the town of Jian Zha in the Amdo Region of Tibet, nestled between the mountain ranges of the Himalayas. As her practice grew stronger, sweeter, and more connected to the wiser, broader, all-knowing Divine Energy in every living thing, she found herself deep in her spiritual journey up the mountains of Tibet. Bonnie first traveled to Tibet in 2009 with her daughter, then again in 2011, baring witness to the life of the Tibetan people, temples, & stupas. Tibet is truly a sacred land dedicated to the enlightenment of all sentient beings.Bonnie's trips to Tibet were grounded in Pure Karma yoga, and gave her the opportunity to be of selfless service to the orphans and the people of Tibet. She taught English, Math and Yoga to the children, and had daily two (2) mile walks into town with the children to buy them necessities and treat them all to ice cream cones! She made friends with a baby cow and walked him down to the glacier runoff water for a cool bath. When not mothering the children, she took charge and action to correct a number of issues in the orphanage. She was very much at home visiting the caves of Tibetan Buddhist Monks, being part of the offerings to the Mountain Gods at 19,000 feet above sea level, and living with a Tibetan grandmother in the village.Returning to Tibet in 2011, living every awakened hour with the children at the Tibetan Home of Hope orphanage in Jian Zha; She actively received their culture through language, religion and arts teachings and was given her Tibetan Buddhist name of "MeTso" from the people meaning "flower". Her Tibet knowledge and studies had changed her life completely. She continues her Tibetan studies here in NY, under the guide of "Geshe Lobsang Dharge" as she travels down this great path of Buddhism.Bonnie was honored with her Darshan Blessings from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and has been blessed twice by Amma, Divine Mother, and by the Kuten La, a Tibetan Buddhist Monk and Medium who channels the spirit of the State Oracle of Tibet for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

What if your yoga practice could give back? 🌿

At Bonnie's Yoga Shala, we believe yoga should be accessible to everyone. That's why we offer a FREE Seva Yoga class one Sunday each month!

Seva is a Sanskrit word meaning "selfless service," a beautiful reminder that giving without expecting anything in return is at the heart of yoga.

This monthly practice brings our community together through gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, vinyasa, and mantra.

🤍 Classes are free, and donations are welcome but never required. Every dollar donated goes toward class gift certificates for individuals who would love to practice yoga but may not be able to afford it.

Come as you are, share the practice, and be part of a community where kindness and connection flow beyond the mat.

When was the last time you truly paid attention to how your body feels? 🌿

Yoga is about more than movement and flexibility. It's also an opportunity to develop a deeper awareness of yourself.

Through mindful movement, intentional breathing, and stillness, yoga can help increase somatic and kinesthetic awareness, allowing you to better recognize physical sensations, understand how your body moves, and notice areas of tension.

As that awareness grows, even the simplest movements can become more intentional.

At Bonnie's Yoga Shala, we invite you to explore that connection, one breath and one practice at a time. 🧘‍♀️

Come practice with us!

"Our thoughts and feelings flow like a river. If we try to stop the flow of a river, we will meet the resistance of the water. It is better to flow with it, and then we may be able to guide it in ways we want it to go."
-Thich Nhat Hanh (The Sun My Heart)

This is exactly what “Indigo” the 4 year old gelding taught me about this week end. Thank you 🙏

Sometimes a simple no feels uncomfortable, so we start adding layers.

We explain. We defend. We soften. We give extra reasons so the other person will understand.

But a respectful no does not need a courtroom case behind it.

You can give context when it feels appropriate, but you do not have to earn the right to have limits.

Sometimes clarity is kinder than a long explanation rooted in guilt.

Where do you tend to overexplain because you want your decision to be accepted?

Being caring does not require you to constantly put yourself last.

You can be generous and still have limits. You can be thoughtful and still say no. You can care deeply about someone without taking on more than you can handle.

When kindness consistently comes at your own expense, it can slowly turn into exhaustion or resentment.

Real kindness is not only about what you give to others.

It also includes how you treat yourself.

Where could you offer yourself the same consideration you so easily give to other people?
