Welcome all, I am Jacqui Bonwell -a registered yoga teacher,
reiki healer and master chakra healer/therapist in the Boston, Ma area. I specialize in chakra vinyasa therapy and
vinyasa yoga. Two seasons a year (fall and spring) I teach my highly acclaimed master chakra cleanse. I feel
it is my calling to help others discover that they are their own best healers, their own best doctors and their
own best friends!
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, Taylor Wells, all of the PRANA POWER YOGA teachers, all of the
Open Doors teachers, Shawn Shaw, David Life, Beryl Bender Berch, David Williams, Shiva Rea, Bryan Kest, Jerry & Esther
Hicks, Louise Hay, Maureen Hancock, and the list of yogi's and healers that have inspired me really is endless.
I currently manage and teach regularly at Prana Power Yoga in Newton, MA exclusively. I am very grateful
for the wonderful energy I am surrounded by daily in the Prana community.
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 11 month
old daughter, Lola. She has been one of my greatest teachers along with my husband, my mother, my whole family
and all of my friends whom I adore.
Namaste and then some!
