Yasmeer Yoga
Where the mind meets the mat
Rhonda Fortier-Bourne
Founder
RYT 200
Rhonda Fortier-Bourne, founder of Yasmeer Yoga, is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges successful completion of a yoga teacher training program through a Registered Yoga School (RYS).
As an avid cyclist, in addition to experiencing the wear and tear of everyday life on the body, Rhonda realized yoga was the answer to her rehabilitation quest. Her yoga practice became steady and consistent, and Rhonda soon realized yoga was more than a physical journey and that yoga would help to heal and guide her mentally, physically and spiritually.
Rhonda’s mindful yet playful approach, her detailed delivery of cues, and desire to help students deepen their practice gives students the opportunity to utilize yoga to heal and gain the confidence to perform asanas in a way that suits their entire self; mind, body and soul. Rhonda’s class provides a safe space for students to experience the healing, grounding, and powerful transformation yoga provides.
Rhonda completed her 200-hour teacher training certification through Lighting the Path Teacher Training Program at Green Yogi studio in Berkeley, California.
Yasmeer Yoga was born out of Rhonda’s love of yoga and her desire to share that love and the healing that yoga offers with others.
“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.”

In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may have against the Teacher and any of Teacher’s employees, independent contractors, or assistants (each, a “Released Party”) that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities even if the Claim arises from the negligence of Released Party or anyone else. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Released Party from any loss, cost, or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me or anyone making a Claim on my behalf, even if the Claim is alleged to or did result from the negligence of Released Party or anyone else. “Claim” includes but is not limited to any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering, and distress, or death that I may suffer, my spouse, children, or unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity.
6. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue any Released Party for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of any Released Party.
