Toni is a rare gem of a yoga teacher - sensitive, kind and with a huge talent for communicating the heart of Yoga. If you find yourself in her class you will soon know what a blessing she is.
Angus Ford-Robertson - Founder of Battersea Yoga
Toni’s classes kept me sane in pregnancy ... so relaxing but still pushed me physically so that I really felt like I had done something good for my body. After my baby was born I really looked forward to the postnatal classes... the SE23 studio has a beautiful setting and music, Toni knows the right level for your body after birth but always pushes you. I loved these classes so much!

Hi, I’m Toni
Are you looking for a fun, strengthening, sustainable yoga practice? Whether you are pregnant, have just had a baby or your children are now much bigger, I have an online schedule of classes to suit you. My aim is to empower women with knowledge, techniques and choices to build confidence and trust in our amazing bodies with the underlying focus of building strength physically and mentally to enrich the experience of daily activities whilst hopefully having a few laughs along the way. Over the last eight years I have loved being part of a local growing yoga community full of supportive, wonderful women. I know it can be daunting to try something new and there can be so much confusing information out there regarding physical fitness in pregnancy and after having a baby but as a mother and yoga teacher, I offer all my support, care and expert knowledge. Expect to receive quality, up to date instruction both online and in person from an experienced Senior Yoga Teacher. If you have any questions please get in touch, I'd love to have a chat with you. |
"Toni has a very special spark, not just as a teacher but as a human being. Her classes are filled with enthusiasm and within seconds she has the rare ability to put anyone at ease.
Her down to earth approach to yoga and life go far in making our world a more fun place to be!"
