Yoga Teacher Training

“Is it normal for YTT to be life altering?  Mindful Movement YTT with Bon and Elyse was just that.  I thought I was investing into providing an additional offering at my Shala by being able to teach classes of my own, little did I know that I was building the foundation for altering my entire state of being, and preparing myself for an internal evolution.  Mindful Movement’s curriculum provided a perfect balance between education, soul searching, philosophy, and physical practice. Together, I really had no choice but to buy in one million percent into having my life altered in the best possible way.  They were gentle with the parts that were difficult for me, and so incredibly supportive all the way through and thereafter.  This YTT saved my sanity, without it I do not know how I would have coped with the devastating fire and loss that occurred at my home and Shala just after completion of my YTT.  The entire group rallied around and supported me emotionally and reminded me of what was in my books, notes, and journals lost to the flames. They reminded me of all that exists within me, and helped me emotionally and physically rebuild.  I can't recommend them enough!

I was lucky enough to have Bonnie as my 200-hour YTT facilitator. From the first moment I met her, I immediately noticed her sparkly spirit.  She was especially helpful regarding the breaking down of asanas and different ways to adjust students to find the best way of teaching to different bodies. She gave me a complete and well rounded overview of the foundations of guiding yoga, with nurturing guidance for myself to follow this amazing path. Thank you, Bonnie!

I found Bonnie to be an amazing teacher. I was lucky to have her guide my YTT because she really understood how to hold space for myself and the other students when we were going through it, but also has a unique mastery of teaching asana. This program was challenge in a very good way. Bonnie is so wise- Thank you, Bonnie!”

On the Mat

As a beginner, I was fortunate to attend my first yoga class with Bonnie at Vital in Grand Cayman. That class would be the first of many! Bonnie's style of teaching is truly unparalleled. The reminders that she provides in the beginning and throughout her classes regarding breath control and stillness really help you understand that as funny as you may feel in any posture, it simply is not about what it looks like. A practice that is physically and mentally challenging, and all intertwined with self-love. Bonnie will encourage you to lean into those uncomfortable spaces rather than shy away from them. She’ll encourage you to try any class, no matter where you are in your journey and practice.

Bonnie's classes are great! They're pitched really well for all levels, and are challenging enough while still giving you the freedom to express yourself creatively. My yoga journey and practice has benefited so much from being guided by Bonnie!

Elyse has the best Yin class in the city. Targets every part of the body, and has completely changed the way my shoulders and back feel in two classes. Her hands on approach ( if you want it) is fantastic and feels great.

Elyse is a measured and amazing teacher. Run to this class. She always gives me helpful corrections. I have never felt so relaxed and calms in ages.
