Portrait of Toni Larson

Toni Larson

Co-Instructor & Spiritual Mentor, E-RYT 500, YACEP, Shamanic Therapeutic Yoga

Toni became a yoga teacher in 2010, and seven years later trained as an advanced teacher in Therapeutic Yoga, Reiki, and shamanic practice. Her roots run deep into nature — the elements, the garden, the trail — and teaching others puts the biggest smile on her face.

She teaches for the moment a student’s eyes light up at something she’s shared. She teaches what yoga really is: inviting each student to find her own practice, and to understand how her body, mind, and nervous system are responding in every breath, on and off the mat. Into me I see, as she describes it. What could be more empowering, she asks, than learning how to take care of yourself — how to breathe, eat, play, connect, and rest?

When she’s not teaching, she’s dreaming about her next garden, hiking trail, mountain bike ride, or meal. Her invitation: breathe deeply, and love yourself with all your heart.
