Desirée's energy is incredibly powerful, from the first moment our paths crossed I could feel she was one of a kind. She does in fact "walk into a room like G*d sent you", because it's true, and oh she knows it.

What is your non-negotiable self care routine or habit? Therapy!!! I meet with my mentors once a week. My new thing is also listening to binaural beats before sleep - you can find so many amazing different sounds to listen to for free on YouTube. I love any for deep sleep, calming the nervous system, relaxation.

I had the biggest girl crush on Bonnie forever! And then I met her - and fell even deeper. She's charismatic, beautiful, energetic and intelligent, with a deep inner wisdom that defies years - she's an ancient soul for sure.

During this dynamic conversation we discuss the mysterious and alluring fascia and how taking care of it can literally heal almost everything, how we are all made of crystal, and how we're all as much "nature" as water, so let's be like it - flowing and free. Follow along and learn a few tips for getting juicier tissues, and how Bonnie's story of how she fell in love with it all.



About Bonnie:

For Bonnie, movement is a spiritual practice. She was born into a body that was made to move. As a dancer, yoga teacher, and founder of The Floss — a method of “stretching” designed to internally exfoliate connective tissue — her love and enthusiasm for mindful movement is positively infectious. Her life path is purposed in a deep study and curiosity for the miraculous human form and a devotion to sharing her wisdom while supporting others in their healing journeys. 

With a unique teaching style described by Columbia Business School as “wisdom and whimsy” Bonnie makes what would normally feel overwhelming in terms of the vast knowledge about the human body completely accessible and empowering for her students. Many of her students have discovered Bonnie and Flossing through her brand collaborations & in person events, magazine and digital publications, and in classes and workshops held at Skyting, and online at The Floss.
