After being a dedicated yoga practitioner for eight years, Bonnie Emerick earned a 200-hour RYT in 2018 with YogaPod in Fort Collins, Colorado. As a yoga student and teacher, she strives to build inclusive, diverse communities of yoga practitioners who feel both invigorated and refreshed by their yoga practice. Trained in teaching vinyasa heated and non-heated yoga, she also savors hatha, viniyoga, and restorative classes and has fallen in love with SUP yoga. A 15-year veteran in the classroom, Bonnie flexibly applies her knowledge as a yogi to adapt to students' levels, abilities, preferences, and experiences. A lifelong runner, writer, and reader, Bonnie lives in the thriving yoga community in Fort Collins and is ecstatic about introducing her community to all that the Telluride Yoga Festival has to offer as an Ambassador for the festival.
