Teacher Details

Toni trained to teach 'The Barkan Method Levels 1 in 2005 and 2/3 and Hot Vinyasa Flow as taught by Jimmy Barkan in 2006.
The Barkan Method is a style of Hatha Yoga that originated from a lineage in Calcutta, India.

It includes breathing (Pranayama), meditation, and sequences of postures (Asana) usually practiced in a heated room to stretch and strengthen all areas of the body. The practice brings vital balance and restores the systems of the body to optimal health. Consistency will create a physical, mental and spiritual harmony that will be felt in all areas of the practitioner's life.

It's said that most people come to yoga through some kind of breakdown, whether it be physical, mental or emotional; Toni initially came to yoga after many years of discomfort and pain from various injuries acquired as a teenager.

Through her dedicated practice of Hatha, Astanga, Vinyasa Flow, Power yoga, and Yin yoga she has found that yoga not only help's to heal physical injury but all aspects of one's life. It seemed only natural then that she should share this important message through teaching.

Toni has gone on to successfully complete her training with Jo Manuel at the London Life Centre, to teach children from 2 years to teens and gained a distinction on the Classical Pre and Postnatal Yoga course.

In 2011 Toni trained with Max Strom on his 4 day teacher intensive and is about to embark on the 350 (plus 50 additional hours to accredit with CNHC) hour Yoga for the Mind Teacher Training with Heather Mason in London.

Toni is Assistant Principal and Full time Tutor on the 200hr Yogahaven Teacher Training Programme.
Toni continues to learn and enrich her teaching with participation in many workshops and trainings.

Toni's teaching style is caring and compassionate and encourages all ages and levels to find strength, grace, balance and beauty within their own practice.
