Namaste, Black Boni Here.

I am a yogi and health care professional trying to find the balance between it all.

I started my yoga practice in 2014 and was a flighty practitioner for a few years. It wasn't until I placed myself in an extremely uncomfortable and challenging situation that threatened my well-being, that I regained my motivation to practice. Now a 200-hour trained teacher, on my way to 500 hours, I have found new peace within myself and with the world around me.

Yoga has made me a better friend, co-worker, lover, and person to myself.

I see my yoga practice as my protective shield from the outside world. When I flow, meditate, study, and embody yoga for all it is - I feel more aligned with myself and able to take on the bullshit from the outside.

I have built the AIMWell Enterprise as my vector to bridge the gap between those who receive the benefits of yoga and those who don’t.

My plan to bridge the gap is through 2 strategies:

• Partner with schools through AIMwell Kids to provide yoga to students while in school.

• Building community through AIMwell Yoga by providing yoga services to all

The purpose of this mission is anchored in the research regarding the benefits of yoga physically, mentally, and spiritually for all groups; from children to the elderly and any socio-economic status.

By lessening the inaccessibility of many yoga practices due to costs, awareness, and locality of the practice I believe we can touch communities far and wide.

A yoga practice reaches far beyond the scope of physical movement but provides the space and time for connection, awareness, and growth within oneself. This increased knowingness of your true self can lead you to conduct your life differently. Making positive changes that progress to a life of wellness for you. No matter what that life of wellness looks like for you, AIMWell believes the journey can start with yoga.

Practicing yoga doesn’t make me perfect, or hinder my ability to feel natural emotions, but it offers me tools for my journey to enlightenment, self-discovery, and acceptance.

This isn’t a "passion” of mine, but my lifestyle.
