Coming from a background of athleticism as a competitive gymnast and trained in the self-defense system of Krav Maga, Bonnie Zammarieh was first drawn to the physical aspects of yoga asana. Discovering a deeper connection and a new found emotional and spiritual “strength” ignited a passion to want to share and teach which led to her first trainings with Yoga Fit Level 1, 2 & 3, Yoga Fit seniors and kids.
Bonnie is now a registered Yoga Alliance teacher after completing a 200-hour Iyengar-based training with Kim Valeri’s YogaSpirit® Studios and an advanced 500-hour certification in the ParaYoga® Tantric-Hatha Yoga tradition with Sue Neufeld and Kathryn Templeton and continues these studies with Pandit Rajmani Tigunait at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA and with Yogarupa Rod Stryker.
Bonnie is a certified Balletone-Sole Synthesis instructor and has completed Reiki level 1 certification.
.
Bonnie also has the proud distinction of being one of only 65 nationwide Jill Miller Yoga Tune Up® instructors which is an innovative, intelligent way to move beyond your stagnant and habitual patterns.
A graduate of the Anthony Robbins Mastery University, Bonnie has engaged in an intense study of human behavior and conditioning.
As a life long student, she continues to challenge herself and her students by attending workshops and trainings with such teachers as Shiva Rea, Rolf Gates, Anna Forrest, Ana Brett, Ravi Singh, Judith Hanson Lasater, Manorama and Lillee Chandra and brings all of these influences to her eclectic style of teaching.
Bonnie believes through humor and compassion we all can learn to open to the grace we hold within and ignite our own unique Inner Light.
