Bonnie Ferguson is a yoga educator, aerial yoga trainer, and movement specialist devoted to helping people cultivate strength, regulate their nervous systems, and lead with grounded confidence.

First introduced to yoga in her teens, Bonnie returned to the practice in early adulthood during a season of profound personal grief and loss. What began as a search for steadiness became a disciplined and devoted path of study. Over time, her practice evolved from personal healing into a commitment to education, not just teaching classes, but shaping how teachers think, sequence, and lead.

Bonnie completed her foundational training at Alberta Yoga College, graduating as Valedictorian, and has since pursued advanced study in biomechanics, strength training, restorative yoga, trauma-informed practice, breathwork, and nervous system science. Her work bridges traditional yogic philosophy with modern movement education, blending intelligent sequencing, mobility and functional strength, and polyvagal-informed awareness.

She teaches a range of classes, including creative vinyasa, strength-integrated flow, aerial yoga, restorative practices, and Yoga Nidra. Her approach honours both precision and expression, integrating clear alignment principles with modern biomechanics while creating space for curiosity, music-driven movement, and authentic self-expression.

Bonnie serves on the faculty for 200-hour teacher trainings and is the Co-Creator and Lead Trainer of the BE FREE 40-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training. She is known for her clarity, precision, and depth as an educator, challenging teachers to think critically, sequence with intention, and lead from a place of embodied authority.

She is currently developing continuing education programs for yoga teachers who want to feel empowered and deeply intentional in their teaching. Her upcoming courses explore intelligent sequencing, nervous system-informed class design, and the art of restorative leadership, equipping teachers with the structure, discernment, and confidence to build classes that are both technically sound and emotionally resonant.

Through Peace & Power Yoga, Bonnie offers in-person and online classes, video-on-demand programs, private instruction, advanced teacher education, and speaking engagements. Whether she is leading a room, mentoring teachers, or building curriculum, her work is rooted in one intention:

To guide people toward balance,
where resilience meets regulation,
strength meets softness,
and peace and power coexist.
