Bonaire Residents Awarded New Yoga Teaching Certification
Long-time Bonaire residents Don and Desiree Seaver have attended and graduated from Kripalu’s 200 hour yoga teachers certification and are now sharing their new knowledge, instruction and insights with students in the yoga classes they are teaching at Bonaire Basics and Bon Bida Spa and Gym.
Both Desiree and Don are well known to many Bonaire visitors. Desiree had a salon in Kralendijk for many years, continues to offer her on-site haircutting service, and is also known for her unique jewelry and artwork. Don is well known among both the windsurfing and kite-surfing communities, being active in both, and also known for his beautiful hand-made furniture.
Kripalu yoga expands the practice of physical yoga postures and breathing exercises to include relaxation techniques for integrating body, mind and spirit. The certification conforms with standards of the Yoga Alliance and gives Don and Desiree a thorough background in technical skills necessary to teach yoga safely and effectively.
Kripalu is widely recognized in the yoga community and is the largest yoga and holistic health retreat center in North America, graduating more than 500 yoga teachers from its certification trainings each year. It has a professional association of 2500 registered yoga teachers and more than 30 affiliated yoga studios. For more information about yoga with Don and Desiree Seaver, click here.
