Denise Bonnaig has been a force of transformation in the lives of many. As a founding member of the boutique law firm Bonnaig & Associates, LLC, she has been working to give a voice to the voiceless in the contexts of civil rights, immigration, and workplace litigation for over thirty years. And as the creator of Princeton Power Yoga, Denise helps others find their own voices through strength and deep inner connection.

Committed to personal transformation.

Denise’s commitment to elevating the consciousness of the planet is limitless.

Her commitment to elevating the consciousness of the planet is limitless. The ideal of lifting the vibration of the planet to experience and witness a shift in consciousness – to eradicate suffering – led Denise to delve into Lester Levenson Release Technique; and the study of Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka. She has travelled to India to walk the Buddha’s Path. She enjoys delving into literature dealing with the exploration of the mind and the nature of consciousness.

 

Denise uses her natural talent, combined with lessons from her teachers, to guide individuals to happiness as a way of being. Every class she teaches is a transformative experience. She leads students to experience what they might already understand intellectually, things they might already know about themselves, so they may become who they consciously choose to be. As a result, her students become more discerning at knowing themselves and separating the essential from the non-essential

I can’t pinpoint exactly what happened, but I do feel that I am more conscious of my life. It made me realize I am so busy living life that I don’t take enough time just to observe it to see where I am. The journaling, meditation, community and movement left me with questions about my work, relationships, how I spend my time, what do I really feel about my life, where it is, and where it is going. I also felt that Denise was a powerful influence on me. She stirred me up, made me deal with whatever I was avoiding and motivated me in many ways. I am really grateful to her.
I joined Denise for her Spring Digital Immersion and it was incredible. I was held accountable to daily rituals that I continue today. The group was special, a group of individuals who were working to create the life they wanted. Every day I had time set aside for myself to learn about myself, to ask myself the questions that were presented to us. While the immersion was online, I felt just as connected with this group as if we were in the room together. And even cooler, Denise was literally speaking to me in my own house! I physically and mentally learned a great deal and got stronger. Denise has a special energy that challenges you and encourages you to live with courage, acceptance, and peace. She is magic and having the opportunity to work with her is a blessing.

JANET L.

As a 12 year actively fighting cancer survivor, I had just spent the last 6-8 months in and out of the hospital from complications treating a tumor that just wouldn’t go away. So I was about to throw that mass produced invitation in the garbage when I noticed a handwritten note on the corner.’ Janet, I really hope you will join me in this life changing experience…’ So I signed up, not knowing anything about it and not knowing how strenuous it would be… She guided me into developing muscles that had atrophied over the years and then develop some I never had… I’m physically too active to ever think I could meditate but I can, I can!!! I can sit quietly and just concentrate on being, sometimes chanting and breathing. It helps me to love my family, friends, clients and casual contacts on a deeper level. I can forgive and understand them and try to imagine what their lives are like. It makes me like myself better – I am filled with joy when I think about someone’s utterly inexplicable behavior and understand and love them. I love others and I love myself – not an easy thing in the past. Denise has taught me so many things. To believe, to send my heart to the heavens, to take risks, to trust that everything will be okay, to be utterly honest and drop the masks, to use every bit of my will and body for something besides fighting cancer. Her greatest gift was helping me in my relationship with my tumor. We don’t fight anymore – we both want to live so badly so we’ve agreed not to kill each other but to live together. My hated, hated tumors are now my friends! It’s a new and stormy relationship but a much happier one. So Denise is my idol. I keep trying to talk myself out of it but now I know I should embrace it, revel in it and just be there for it. How many times do you get to totally love someone? Not many.
