GET TO KNOW THE TEAM
At Swet Studio, we understand that no two bodies are alike.
While Bonnie is a Boston native with a passion for all things fitness, her journey into the world of aerial arts was a bit of a happy accident. Back in 2022 while living in Hong Kong, she stumbled upon an aerial class and was instantly captivated by the grace and elegance of this unique workout. From that moment on, she was hooked. She loved this newfound passion so much that she started renting out studios in Hong Kong to teach her friends 1-on-1 sessions for free.
Bonnie officially earned her aerial instructor certification in Singapore, under the Integrated Training Institute. Her classes focus on core foundations of proper body alignment, stretching, and mobility work to prepare the body for the demands of aerial training. And a big traveler, she makes it a point to seek out aerial classes wherever she goes to expand her skills and experience new styles to integrate into her classes.
But Bonnie's fitness pursuits don't stop there. When she's not hanging upside down in the hammocks, you can find her pushing her limits in a wide variety of other activities - strength training, Muay Thai, swimming, running, wake-surfing, and many more.
So be sure to check out her class schedule and let her show you the ropes of beginning your aerial journey!
