Bonnie teaches dance,fluid yoga, Balinese dance and Continuum Movement; and an active choreographer and performer.

Her explorations into the potency of movement and its healing potentials have led her around the world to study Balinese dance in Bali, Pribadi Art with Buddhist movement master Suprapto Suryodarmo in Java, and yoga and singing in India. She lives in Eugene, Oregon with her husband Lytton and their fox-terrier Daisy.
About Continuum
Continuum Movement not only informs my everyday living, but is the foundation for my creative work. As a dancer and creative artist, the sacred act of creating comes from investigating the movement of fluid (as thought, breath, and feeling) into eventual form. My courage to create is fueled by trust in the dynamic ever-changing expression of fluctuating fluid form. For me, there is no separation between Continuum Movement and creative expression. They are one and the same.
