Bio:

Bonolo is a certified 200hr yoga teacher trained with One Yoga in Thailand. She is also the founder of Yownn Yoga, a yoga studio based in Gaborone that focuses on beginners and offers yoga classes, retreats and events. Her first encounter with yoga was definitely not enthusiastic. At 27 weeks pregnant she had no choice but to give yoga a go, after her doctor declared the pregnancy high risk and prohibited her from high intensity exercise.She was skeptical at first, judgmental even, she couldn’t quite comprehend how yoga could be actual fitness. The first yoga session sparked a curiosity and (dare we say) respect in her that propelled her to keep coming back to the mat, intrigued by the calming and grounding nature of the practice. As a Financial Markets professional, the practice of yoga provided a sanctuary from the high pressure, high paced and highly competitive banking environment. Her time on the mat gave her the opportunity to relieve stress and clear her mind, the perfect balance that most professionals can only dream of. It is for this reason that she founded Yownn Yoga, to give professionals the opportunity to unplug, recharge and rejuvenate. Bonolo is also a blogger at nolsynols.com where she writes about life as a wife, mother and corporate woman navigating life in Africa.
