KOL Describe what you do in 15 words or less. 


Bonnie Lee Ringer I’ve been a yoga teacher and full-time yogini for 25 years, and I’m a wife, mother, and homemaker.

KOL Tell us about a turning point in your life. 


Bonnie The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to the THOH orphanage in Tibet, bear witness to the life of the Tibetan people, and experience a sacred land dedicated to the enlightenment of all beings.

KOL What do you love about teaching? 


Bonnie When a student gets “it”! When I know I have deeply connected to another soul and sparked the light of yoga in them.

KOL What are you passionate about right now? 


Bonnie Planting positive seeds in as many yoga gardens as I can! Teaching the laws of attraction and showing that what we think, say, and believe manifests into reality, and what we do on the mat is a reflection of what we do off the mat.

KOL What do you do in your downtime? 


Bonnie I do my yoga practice and I continue to reach out to help others. If it’s not a person, it’s a cause (THOH) or an injured animal. In the end, it’s about who you have helped and what you have learned.
