Thai Yoga Bodywork is an ancient and elegant therapeutic art, shared for the purpose of harmonizing energy in the body. Conceived by an Ayurvedic doctor and celebrated yogi in India, it traveled to and took root in the Buddhist temples of Thailand, making the temples healing centers. It has been passed down through centuries as this doctor, Jivaka, attended to the health of the Buddha.

Bonnie’s work is deeply nourishing for all parts of the being. Her invitation to rest and receive is the medicine, her gentle and intuitive bodywork provides the mind, body and spirit time to integrate and heal. Her work is truly a gift. ~ Jennifer
I have been working with Bonnie on a bi-monthly basis for over a year. I came to her after suffering a serious illness that caused constant physical pain within various areas of my body. Her bodywork technique and fully conscious approach to Thai massage has made all the difference in my recovery and continued health and wellbeing. She not only has mastered the technique of this ancient practice but uses her intuitive gifts to create a fully integrated experience of health, wellness, support, and nurturance. I have movement abilities in my physical structure that I did not have prior to working with her and she has also been the perfect compliment to my new rigorous training schedule. Athletes and non-athletes alike will benefit tremendously from her style and knowledge of this work. In addition, Bonnie is one of the best human beings I know, and sharing space in this way has been heartfelt and uplifting. ~ Satyavani
