Through this guidance, I can share the wonderful teachings that she will teach me, with YOU! In that I am so excited!
Welcome all, I am Jacqui Bonwell -a Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Healer and Chakra Vinyasa Therapist in the Boston area. I specialize in Yoga Teacher Training programs, Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship programs and personal Yoga Life Coaching. I feel it is my calling to help others discover that they are their own greatest savior! I feel passionately about working with yoga teachers to help them up the anty with their teaching and help them to have a profound, healing impact on their students.
After 10 years in Social Services I left the field altogether as a profession. I continue to do charity in the name of social services but not as a "career." I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with degrees in Psychology, Sociology, and a specialty in Family Violence. I have travelled extensively through the United States and have been immersed in social services from coast to coast. I lived in Ireland for a brief period working out of a women and children's refuge assisting families and children in Dublin.
My career eventually left me overweight, overworked, in poor health (ulcers), overstressed and internally really sad. At the same time, there was alot of joy in the field. There were alot of amazing people who I watched grow and transform in ways I never thought I would bear witness to. I am still floored by the resilience of some of these people! I am grateful for my time as a social worker. I really am. Eventually the balance of joy could not outweigh the stress and the path of yoga called me.
I am a graduate of the Open Doors teacher training program out of Weymouth, MA. This program not only touched on the teachings of yoga (power vinyasa, hatha & restorative yoga) but included strong energy healing components. I am eternally grateful to Richard Lanza, Pat Iyer, Jene' Rossi and all of the other wonderful teachers who guided me in this direction. I am also grateful to Sagarika Ghose, my first yoga teacher!
I want to thank Sharon Gannon who has had a major impact on my teaching and my life. It was just the right place at the right time when I met her. She has directed me on the path of genuinely preserving what yoga is all about and living it to the fullest extent. She has been a major inspiration to me. I am very grateful and touched by all of the yogi's who have gone before me who have passed down these unbelievable teachings. I am regularly inspired by Jene' Rossi, Shawn Shaw, David Life, Beryl Bender Berch, Rolf Gates (my mentor), David Vendetti, Johny Gillespie, Friday from the book How Yoga Works, Shiva Rea, Bryan Kest, Jerry & Esther Hicks, Louise Hay, Molly Powers, Maureen Hancock, and the list of yogi's and healers that have inspired me really is endless.
It is my mission to direct people back to what they were born with-love, joy and happiness. I see these very teachings in my 3 year old daughter, Lola!! My 2nd child in spirit is also a great teacher and guide for me and reminds me of the importance of daily connection to spirit. Both of my children engage me in great divine energy every day. My children have been my greatest teachers along with my husband, my mother, my whole family and all of my friends whom I adore.
side note: To all the mothers who have reached out to me who have children in spirit--I have built another room in my heart where you will forever live!!
