Testimonials
"Yoga therapy with Bonnie is like hanging out with a brilliant detective. You may be certain it’s your knees that are messed up, but be sent home with hamstring exercises."
"Got stress, sadness or confusion? You will be heard, and may be met with a point of view that never occurred to you. And if that point of view doesn’t resonate right away, you can even argue about it…"
"Yoga therapy can offer precious understanding of things we may know at the deepest level but just can’t decipher in everyday life. How can we skillfully engage with the intricacies of our always expanding and contracting bodies, minds, and hearts so they don’t rub up against each other and hurt?"
"My experience is that the answer lies in partnering with someone who is not us, someone with an alternate view corridor and the keenest of observation skills — an anatomy expert, a gifted asana teacher, and a yogi with an ever-evolving spiritual practice. "
"Bonnie has helped me see, feel and breathe, with palpable respect, gentle compassion, beautiful humor, and yes, some tough love. Oh, and there’s the work with a cranky hip, the reason I claimed to have started working with her in the first place."
"I showed up with one set of questions, but the list keeps changing. So if you’re not sure exactly what it is you could use some help with, don’t worry about it. Like the best detective stories, it’s when you’re sure you “know” something that you discover that there’s more to learn."
"Yoga therapy, and Bonnie’s gifts in particular, are to be trusted. "
"In times of perfect health and then in a prolonged period with a debilitating injury, I have experienced healing and transformation from yoga therapy with AmarJyothi. As a nurse, I sought out conventional therapies for my injury as well, but it was through yoga therapy that I found relief and, maybe just as important, meaning in my injury. The techniques AmarJyothi teaches encompass the whole body, the mind and the spirit and work to heal on all of those levels."
"I had been experiencing sharp pains in my right side around my rib cage for years. I had seen a physical therapist, I had had an MRI and I have had chiropractic care. No one had been able to identify the problem or had attended to me in a way that provided relief. Bonnie not only identified the issue but gave me a regimen of exercises that are easy to do and are amazingly effective."
"Amarjyothi has an uncanny ability to understand the workings of another persons body. She is also extraordinarily creative about movement. She seems to see inside my body as she works with me, mirroring the problem within herself until she finds the perfect pose on the physical plane. She never forget all the other aspects of existence that affect our bodies, incorporating them into our work. With Amarjyothi's help, I am putting together a toolkit to take care of myself that I will use for the rest of my life"
Seeking spiritual guidance from AmarJyothi was one of the best decisions I've made. She is a very compassionate and knowledgeable teacher, who has helped me to gain a great deal of personal insight. I was impressed by her ability to intuitively understand the nature of my being and devise an approach custom tailored to me. AmarJyothi is infectiously optimistic and has a visible enthusiasm. I leave each session feeling inspired and renewed. Her ongoing support and attention has been essential to my continued progress.
"Amarjyothi developed a targeted structural yoga practice for me that alleviated the shoulder pain and arm weakness I experienced after surgery. She helped me to execute these yoga postures properly, and over the course of several weeks I noticed the range of motion in my shoulder improved
substantially. I no longer felt pain when using my arm for daily living tasks. With consistent practice over months, I have strengthened my arm muscles and my shoulder has been restored to its pain-free, pre-surgical state."
"As a mental health professional, I am always in search of complimentary therapies that I can draw upon to assist my clients. I also believe in first trying for myself any service that I recommend to a client. After a dysregulating trauma in my own life – one that my regular arsenal of coping tools proved insufficient to fully heal – I decided to go ahead and try TRE. I visited the TRE website and reviewed a list of practitioners. I reached out to three practicing within reasonable distance to me, and I ended up working with Bonnie. Because my own experience of TRE was so effective in resolving my residual trauma, I have since confidently referred clients and friends to Bonnie. I know of at least one person who has worked with Bonnie upon my recommendation and she reported to me how much she loved it. I tell people that Bonnie exudes a calm, centered, safe presence, one in which you feel that you cannot do something wrong or embarrassing as you process your trauma. She models an attitude of acceptance and of curiosity about the body and the emotions. I enjoyed working with her and will continue to refer business to her."- JC
