she/her - Jacksonville, FL

LYB Mindset Facilitator

About me: Co-founder and owner of Lotus Yoga, a community based yoga collaborative in Jacksonville. Bonnie has had extensive training in ashtanga and vinyasa yoga, adaptive and trauma informed yoga, healthy back yoga, insight meditation and mindfulness.  She is a certified facilitator of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY-F) through the renowned Center for Trauma and Embodiment at the Justice Resource Institute in Brookline, Massachusetts, and of mindfulness meditation through Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. In addition to offering yoga and mindfulness practices to underserved populations in her local community, Bonnie facilitates yoga and mindfulness to individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries and their caregivers through the LoveYourBrain Foundation.  Her work (as well her own practice) - whether with individuals who have sustained physical and emotional traumas, those with eating disorders or physical limitations, or those simply seeking to cultivate insight and deepen their own practice, has taught her first-hand about the extraordinary healing potential that lives inside the practices of yoga and mindfulness.

Why LYB: I am inspired by the resilience, tenacity and courage demonstrated over and over again by this community. 

Superhero: My mother, as she has taught me how to be patient with the process and to courageously navigate the things that make me uncomfortable.
