Your Host, Bonni Swicord

Hi, I’m Bonni Swicord and excited to be a part of your journey!

I love putting my heart and soul into helping people see their own wisdom and creativity, overcome self criticism, and regain their enthusiasm about who they are so they can have more meaningful, soulful lives.

I received  my yoga teaching certification 25 years ago from The Center For Yoga in Los Angelos, CA and 8 years ago a Yin Yoga teaching certification at Bala Yoga in Seattle WA. The fantastic teachers at a Center For Yoga, taught  me a variety of styles including Vinyasa Flow ,Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Restorative. Additionally, I’ve studied with Pattabhi Jois, Judith Lasater, Edward Clark and Rodney Yee.

While owning and operating the first yoga center in Kihei, Maui (The Maui Yoga Center) I also taught private classes and group classes at The Four Seasons Resort in Maui, HI.

In my earlier years I studied ballet for 6 years at Severo School of Ballet in Detroit, competed in Highland Dance for 12 years, and took many workshops with Alvin Ailey dance theater before 13 years of Dance and Theater performance in Maui, HI where I raised my 3 children. Further study led me to 5 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist.

Over 40 years experience in movement have given me the knowledge and tools to create a safe, supportive, and uplifting experience for you. I’ve taught hundreds of people through classes, one on one sessions and workshops.

During meditation sessions, I love guiding people toward consciously living life with gratefulness, compassion, kindness and joy.

My passion for travel and discovering new cultures has inspired me to create transformational retreats in beautiful locations around the world.

I look forward to meeting you in person!
