Bonnie received her certification for children’s yoga at Kripalu with Shakta Kaur Khalsa. With a background as a professional dancer, fitness instructor, yoga practitioner and a kindergarten teacher of 18 years, Bonnie has combined her knowledge and skills in teaching children’s yoga. She found that yoga can benefit children with skills of concentration, balance, control physical coordination, promote self discipline and increase self-confidence. Yoga is a gentle non-competitive form of exercise that all children can enjoy. We will stretch, breathe, sing and play to develop a happy, healthy sense of self.
