The road to self discovery often encounters  obstacles  of fear manifested in many different forms.  Through a  gentle pratice of yoga and a willingess to grow we learn what those fears are. We are unable to seek a  substainable solution to a problem if we dont identify the problem.   When  we acknowledge the problem we can  seek a solution. In the past I had sought out faster quick fixes, they were tempoary and often created more problems. The benefits and sustainablility of Yoga are what has led me back  to the mat again and again. 

 Our bodies are self repairing mecinisem that store information since birth. We hold our issues in our tissues, though pratice we are able to release and heal. When we heal we are able to be our most authentic unapoligetic beautiful self.  This has been my personal experience.  I have been reunited with my truest form of self through yoga and meditation.  Now that the light is back in my heart, I wish to decicate my time to relighting the flame for others.  My holistic approcah to heal from my personal trama has cured my depression. My recipe also includes  the study of the  principals of the niyamas and yamas of yoga a day at at time.  I strive to maintain a level of balance. By continuting these pratices along with regular attenance at 12 step meetings. I consider my self in remisson of severe depression, drug and alcohol addiction.  My mind my drift back into old ways from time to time, but  I am able to catch it faster today.  Like many of us along the journy I consider myself  a masterpeice in process. 

Weeding the Garden your garden of your thoughts. Negative thoughts are like ugly weeds that spread though our minds.  using journaling, breath awareness , asana and meditation we can use these weeds to gain awareness and  have some fun.  Join me for a day of yoga, laughter and fun.  Saturday May 19th 9:00- 12:00 $35  per person  (Scholarships available no one is turned away for lack of funds).

Lisa Rzemien Grade 2 teacher Norwood Elementary School

My second grade students very much enjoyed doing yoga in the classroom with Bonnie Donahue.  She introduced the moves with an engaging storybook. Afterwards, she guided the students through a series of poses helping them to explore their bodies and inner peace. Her kind approach made the students feel comfortanle to try something new!!

I have never done yoga will i be able to keep up with the class?

The answer is yes!  Yoga is about self discovery more about slowing down than speeding up.  Yoga is an individual journey of self love and self acceptance.  Often the most difficult pose in yoga is getting on the mat! For myself and others rest of the struggle is just  finding time to practice.  Pratice leads to progress.  The invitation is to meet yourself where you are at and begin the journy to progress.
