Yoga for Athletes
Inspire.Strength.Grace.
Tonja Renee Hall is the owner and principal yoga trainer for Lionheart Yoga Training and Lionheart Athletic Muscle Maintenance.
She incorporates her years of experience with teaching all levels of yoga practitioners, studies in dance, competitive cycling, Thai Yoga, and teaching yoga for fitness at Seattle Athletic Club in her training sessions.
Originally from the California Bay Area, she relocated to Seattle, which she calls "home base" when she's not teaching internationally. Tonja received her initial Yoga Certification in 2003 from 8 Limbs Yoga Center, Seattle with a focus on Vinyasa Flow, Anatomy, and Yoga Philosophy. She has continued her interest in optimum body mechanics with her studies in Thai Yoga, Bangkok (2005).
Tonja uses her dry sense of humor to encourage her students to take inspiration in their own strength, grace, and internal knowledge.
Tonja has conducted yoga classes with the Seattle Sounders, FC, Seattle Seahawks, Clif Bar Cycling Team members, and the Rat City Roller Girls. Her sport-specific yoga classes for teams is ongoing, as is her individual work with team members and intense athletes of all levels.
Tonja is also proud to be a Lululemon Ambassador and one of the senior Yoga instructors at Seattle Athletic Club. Her yoga articles are published monthly for the Seattle Athletic Club blog, and on the official Lionheart Yoga blog.
Tonja is an avid world traveler, artist, horsewoman, and singer. She loves to be outside, and you can find her horseback riding, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and mountain biking between classes. She speaks a smattering of Thai, French, and Spanish. Tonja is always grateful for her opportunities to teach yoga internationally, and is continually humbled and amazed by all of her students.
Tonja is proud to sponsor the following charities: Street Yoga, Women for Women, A Better LA, and Bike Works.
So grateful to her mentors: Melina Meza, Power Yoga for Sports, 8 Limbs Yoga, and Anne Phyfe Palmer, Lululemon, Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield, Mark Young and her Young Flower family, the rich lineage of yoga masters, and her years on grandma's horse farm that taught her, if you fall off, dust yerself off, get back on and ride!!
