Rev. Bonyon (Laura Neal) practiced in the Tibetan and Vipassana traditions before landing solidly in Korean Zen. She operates Yoga@Cattitude in Bar Harbor, Maine, where her mindfulness yoga classes emphasize the traditional purpose of yoga as a pathway out of suffering and liberation from conditioned reactivity. Ordained by Rev. Myogak in August, 2011, she is the abbot of the newly formed True Nature Zen Center in Bar Harbor. Rev. Bonyon teaches Applied Yoga Philosophy at College of the Atlantic, and mindfulness classes and meditation at area workplaces. And she really, really likes cats.
