Bonnie Cassels

As the owner of Radiant Path Yoga (formerly OmTown Yoga Studio), I would love to take this opportunity to introduce myself. After many years of resisting yoga, I finally gave in with the help of a very persuasive friend. March 21st, 2006 will forever be embedded in my memory. On that fateful day, my daughter and I took our first yoga class together. After this single class, I felt an immediate sense of calm and peace. Since that transformative day, twelve years ago, I still love yoga and practice it daily. Yoga has offered never ending healing for my mind, body, heart, and soul.

Within two years of starting yoga, I felt a strong desire to share the gifts of this time honored practice. Many years as a competitive gymnast and 30+ years of experience in education and education administration also lent itself to my motivation and inspiration to enlighten and help heal others through movement and mindfulness.

I received my 200 and 500 hour yoga teacher training certificates from the Yoga Center of Columbia, in 2008 and 2013, respectively. In July 2017, I received a certification to teach Dr. Loren Fishman’s Yoga for Osteoporosis method. Additionally, in November 2021, I became a certified Vibrational Sound Therapist. Although I began my journey with Anusara inspired teachers, I have a deep respect and appreciation for all yoga paths. The breadth and depth of my education have been enhanced through continued training and courses, both nationally and internationally. I work hard to ensure that students are offered the most up-to-date methods to enhance their practices.

I especially enjoy teaching and practicing Hatha, alignment-based, slow flow, and therapeutic yoga classes for all ages and abilities.

I look forward to meeting you, seeing you on your mat, and joining you on your yoga journey. Together, we can work wonders.
