Toni Porrello has been teaching in the fitness industry since 2006, and has over 1500 hours of training in Pilates mat & apparatus, Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Aerial Yoga and Barre. She is also a published writer and holds a MFA in Creative Writing. She was a featured blogger on the press team for the Wanderlust 2013 VT Yoga Festival. She has appeared on numerous yoga and Pilates DVDs for the fitness company Regeneration. She is also an assistant to Eric Paskel, a nationally renowned yoga teacher who essentially invented doing yoga to rock music. She most recently assisted him at the Yoga Journal Conference in NYC and has traveled with him most recently to India.
Before teaching full time, she spent years working for a chiropractor and pain management doctor which gave her a deep and practical understanding of anatomy and the body systems well beyond her yoga and Pilates trainings. Her knowledge of the body and articulation of words comes through in each of her classes.
