Yoga in Mirrormont: Gratitude in Motion - Sunday after Thanksgiving

Terra Yoga is honored to host Gratitude in Motion, a class to support Yoga Behind Bars, on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 25, 2012 from 4 - 5:30 pm. Terra Yoga is located just south of Darigold on Front Street in beautiful downtown Issaquah (Exit 17 - turn right onto Front St. from I-90 Eastbound).

Yoga Behind Bars is a Seattle-based, volunteer-powered, non-profit that offers incarcerated people - men, women and youth - the transformative power of yoga as a tool for self-awareness, healing, and a pathway to freedom.

Please join Terra teacher, Bonnie Dike, for this donation-based class to support the profoundly rehabilitative work of Yoga Behind Bars. Bonnie teaches maximum security incarcerated teens at Echo Glen Children's Center in Snoqualmie.

The 90 minute Vinyasa flow class will open with a seated Thanksgiving meditation, followed by a brief explanation of the mission and offerings of Yoga Behind Bars.

Close your eyes, scan your world, share your love. ~Natalie Smith, Director of Yoga Behind Bars

Suggested Donation - $20.00

Bonnie Dike, Certified Yoga Instructor, E-RYT

Bio: Bonnie (Certified Yoga Instructor, E-RYT) has been practicing yoga for 14 years and teaching for 10. She trained under Catherine Munro at Yoga Tree in Fremont and participated in teacher-training classes with Aadil Palkhivala. She taught at Terra Yoga for many years and regards Carina Terra as her mentor. She has taught yoga to many high school athletes, including the Liberty High School Football Team. The experience of natural homebirths led her to teach Prenatal, Mama/Baby, and Mama/Toddler classes. Bonnie teaches Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Nidra, and Restorative styles of yoga. She studies and embraces yoga’s beautiful sister science, Ayurveda, and is pleased to offer seasonal workshops. Grateful for the opportunity to serve as a Board member for Yoga Behind Bars, she has been blessed to bring yoga classes to maximum-security incarcerated teens at Echo Glen Children’s Center. Off the mat, Bonnie enjoys hiking, boating, cruise-biking along old railroad beds, hula and bellydancing, learning jazz cello, and playing chamber music with her husband, 11 children, and grandchildren. She is a professional cellist and recently retired Children’s Director at the Academy of Music Northwest. Over the years she has taught Music, Art History, Shakespeare, Penmanship, Etiquette, and other classical subjects, including yoga, to tots through teens at her children’s supplementary homeschool center. She is certified to teach the Essential Low Back Program, having trained under internationally recognized yoga therapist, Robin Rothenberg. She is honored to assist Robin's yoga for MS and Parkinson's classes. Bonnie’s teaching style is calm and encouraging. She takes joy in sharing the compassion, gratitude, and realization of abundant blessings that yoga engenders.

Bonnie lives with her husband, Bruce, and their large family in beautiful Mirrormont. She is honored to bring yoga classes to the neighborhood as a way of encouraging great health and well-being.

Yoga classes are offered on Monday evenings from 7 - 8 at the Mirrormont Country Club. Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket and arrive 5 minutes early.
