Ashley H. says, "I am seriously so grateful for the privilege of working with Yoga with Bonnie Rhea. She has been consistently giving in a most experienced and talented manner. I have been in her classes every week for 3-1/2 years now. I keep thinking during class just how amazing it is to be the recipient of Bonnie Rhea's knowledge of the body and her experience integrating yoga with that knowledge. Each class is different and she ties it all together in a real and present way. I have been in hundreds of her classes and I can say every one of them has been a "safe place." Her love, concern for her students and her kindness comes through. Her voice is also so soothing. My dog passes out during every one of her classes the moment she starts speaking- just from listening to her voice. Her introducing me to Yoga Nidra has added a huge tool for my recovery from severe trauma and is benefitting me greatly. I can't say enough and I truly mean every word and feel inadequate to fully express my gratitude for Bonnie Rhea and all she has given." Read more

Cassandra J. says, "I have been working with Morgyn Danae for about 4 months. I was a practicing yogi with a dance background and started noticing consistent pain and tightness in my hip. I reached out to Morgyn and she assessed the pain and the trauma which it was connected to and built a rehabilitation program based on my needs, with a focus on core strengthening and dance movement – from a more feminine/yin space. Over time, I started to notice a significant decrease in tightness and inflammation and a definition in my ab muscles – all without strenuous exercising. I find that to be a huge bonus in addition to healing trauma through somatic therapy, increasing my flexibility and range of movement in a very holistic way. I’m very grateful to have found her healing work and benefit from her sessions in numerous ways. I’m excited to get back to dancing! " Read more

We have an extraordinary teacher of meditation and yoga (yoga is by recorded CD) who has taught for over 45 years in San Diego and in India. When one is with Dr. Erhard Vogel -- or even experiencing his writings -- one recognizes that he is a real teacher of universal truth who has all his life lived what he teaches with integrity [since age 5 1/2 when he had his first enlightenment experience during World War II]. He knows that real knowledge comes only from experience, and he has a gifted talent to lead people to have their own experiences of themselves -- their true Self -- not some dogma or other people's ideas. He is rare indeed. We ...

Meditation classes typically start with an introductory talk. Then everyone closes their eyes and sits still. Classes can include a simple guided breathing technique to reduce stress and tension. If it's a guided meditation session, then the teacher speaks each instruction for focusing.

Bonnie Rhea is one of the best yoga teachers I've had since arriving in San Diego. She is a true professional, especially kind and patient! What I love the most is her sensitivity to one's limitations. When needed, she will offer different ways of executing a particular pose so as not to cause harm. This is always appreciated. Her expertise in Yoga Nidra was new to me, but my mind and body quickly adapted. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in developing and sustaining a well rounded yoga practice to enroll in her Signature Class, followed by her Mindful Yoga and Yoga Nidra Class. You will learn from the best.
