Yoga by Toni

When I began practicing yoga in 2014, it was the first time I truly experienced a state of flow, losing track of time and space, completely immersed in the practice. This sense of awareness and lightness in body and mind has drawn me back to yoga ever since. Whenever I feel off balance, the practice grounds me and serves as a constant reminder to stay mindful, kind, and present, both on and off the mat.As a psychologist, I’m particularly fascinated by how yoga influences not just the body but also our emotions and thoughts. This holistic approach to yoga is deeply woven into my classes. For me, sharing yoga means creating a space where students feel confident to embrace themselves as they are and empowered to remain present in each moment. My teaching combines creative and dynamic flows with awareness on the breath, encouraging students to observe emotional and mental patterns that arise &amp; shift during practice. Every class includes a restorative sequence at the end to provide a well-rounded and balanced experience. Students can expect to leave class with a bit more strength in their body, a little more softness in their heart, and the confidence to show up with kindness. Towards themselves and others.
