LIONHEART YOGA TRAINING

"I have been practicing yoga with Tonja for over a year, and my interest in yoga only continues to grow. Her classes are interactive, challenging both mentally and physically, and fun. For inflexible athletes like myself, I am constantly pushed to know and understand my body and what it needs, and I see these same challenges for all skill levels. It is great for flexibility, strength, and mental breaks from the rest of our day. But the best part is that Tonja is passionate about not only yoga, but about everyone in her classes and their well-being." -- Taylor Graham, Defender, Seattle Sounders , FC

"Tonja is an outstanding yoga instructor for the Seattle Athletic Club, who goes above and beyond in everything she does.  Her work ethic, excellence as a professional, and desire to succeed make her a pleasure to work with.  As an instructor, she teaches a rich and focused class that members of all levels can truly appreciate.  Because of her expertise, she recently started submitting newsletter articles and blog entries for Seattle Athletic Club.  We are very lucky to have Tonja on our team!  Thank you for all you do!" -- Anna Miller, Group Exercise Director, Seattle Athletic Club

"I contracted Tonja to teach some yoga classes for the SeaHawks off-season training. I would definitely recommend Tonja. She teaches a great class! Her command of the class and its participants are excellent, as I've seen her work with professional athletes all the way to the first time non-athlete yoga student." -- Mondray Gee, M.S., Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, Seattle Seahawks

"Yoga training for a top-level athlete has been proven to be very beneficial for the overall performance of the athlete in his/her chosen sport.
