​

It all started with an invitation to come to a newly developing yoga class. Not just any class but a Holy Yoga class. That sounded interesting? But I was a little skeptical because I haven’t done yoga in many years, and I wasn’t real sure I could get up once I got down on that mat. I had this nudging feeling that I needed to give it another try. It really peeked my interest when it said “connecting deeping with God and to one another through the practice of Holy Yoga engaging mind, body and Spirit”. I just jumped on board. You know the saying “Suit up, show up and God will use you.” What an opportunity to feel better and have more strength and stamina. Kathryn Bonner is a refreshing, flow and meditation leader in this Holy Yoga class. I am truly blessed to be a part of this group of ladies. Kathryn also has a web site that repost the and meditation that she uses with each class. So, you can reread and stay focused on the word as you go through your week. I so appreciate Kathryn’s time and her focus on Christ as she prepares for these classes. Please feel free to join us throughout the week in all or one of the classes she offers.  ~ Debbie Pattison

I have lived with chronic pain for many years trying to manage Fibromyalgia. "It"  has become my weakness both physically and spiritually giving me a good excuse to limit my daily activities. In Paul's letters to the churches he speaks of his "Thorn in His Flesh," causing his weakness but in his weakness God made him strong. He always gave his strength to the Glory of God! Therefore, if Paul can do this so can I! This thought process has worked for me but as I approach the golden years of my 70's my concern is how can I stay limber and not be in constant pain? Kathryn Bonner and her Yoga classes are just what the Great Physician ordered. It has been the best prescription for healing I have ever received. Saturday mornings at Willow House Studios is where all my senses are stimulated and my body is strengthened.

•  Smell: the odor of Jesus' spirit fills the house with love and peace.

•  Sight: the smile on Kathryn's face as she greets you fills you with joy.

•  Touch: the hug Kathryn gives is full of gentleness and kindness.

•  Hearing: the music playing during the yoga exercises and the crystal chimes she plays reminds you of God's goodness and faithfulness. The scripture she reads as you stretch your body speaks to you in a whisper "You are loved".

•  Taste you can taste the "Fruits of the Spirit", Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, and Faithfulness. Leaving you with self-control to keep God's temple, your body, healthy!

You do not want to miss out on this experience of love, fellowship, and physical wellness. Holy Yoga with Kathryn has become God's way to help me with "the thorns in my flesh." ~ Vickie Diers

Kathryn Bonner is not only my pastor’s wife but a beautiful friend. When I first met her we connected immediately and became instant friends. As she was nearing the end or her certification journey to become a Holy Yoga instructor she had to teach several sessions to complete her training and she invited me. I had never heard of Holy Yoga until Kathryn. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was quickly put at ease when the session started. She explains the poses and encourages you to use the tools at hand if you are having trouble. Her soothing voice during the scriptures and meditation at the end of the session are so relaxing and you are ready to go out and face the world with renewed energy. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone. I certainly look forward to them each week. Thanks Kathryn for all you do!!  Love ya’ sister!! ~ Sylvia Newby

I have never done yoga before.  At 51 and having an autoimune disease I was not sure this was a good thing for me to try.  After the first class I was hooked.  I was more relaxed and at peace than I had been in a long time.  Now I go as often as I can and Kathryn is great at guiding me through the entire process. ~ Jill Taylor

Speaking...

Where do I start to explain how transformative Kathryn Bonner’s words have been to my life?  Having heard her speak twice, each time I have come away with so many valuable tools.  The first time I was introduced to one of Kathryn’s programs was at my church (St. Francis Episcopal, Houston) to our ladies luncheon.  She spoke about her journey being a pastor’s wife and her personal journey of growth.  Each element was so clear I was able to start my own journey of extraordinary growth and development.  What is so exciting about her presentation was that it was simple to follow.  Each of us in attendance that day benefited personally. BUT I need to emphasize how her words have created a ripple effect upon all the people I have come in contact since applying her words to my life!

   Her second presentation to our church was tailored to using scripture to provide a journaling path.  She gave us the tools necessary to follow the path of our choosing.  Not only were her talks full of humor and information but also they applied directly to each of us where she found us that day.  So whether you are new to the spiritual journey you are on or a seasoned explorer –Kathryn Bonner is a perfect fit. ~ Jane Johnston Mumey – Attorney
