Hi, my name is Tonya Kay. I teach yoga and mat Pilates classes that honor all bodies and all abilities. Drawing from 35 years of performance on Broadway and in Hollywood film/tv, I blend the precision of dance, athletic challenge and meditative breath into my sequences. A breast cancer survivor, my mission is to help you create your body as a place to feel strong, take pride in, have fun with and come home to through all of life’s changes.

Ask any career dancer, when you are already flexible, stretching isn’t enough. You can wrap your leg behind your shoulders and still have tight hamstrings to the point of pain affecting performance. So how do dancers take care of their sore, tight, sometimes injured muscles when stretching further just isn’t helpful? One way is the trusty roller ball - we all have one or five in our dance bags! A tennis ball, lacrosse ball - my favorite is cork - ready to rescue in any 10 min break. Ball rolling is a very targeted type of self-massage combined with pressure point, overstretching and even scar tissue realignment performed much like yin yoga; with long holds and deep breaths. It’s like getting a full body adjustment and deep tissue massage and *you* decide how deep/how far/how long so you’re always in control.

I’m gifting you the dancer’s roller ball secrets and techniques in my upcoming workshop:

Our last Arm Balance Workshop was such a success, we’re doing it again only this time, adding HEADSTANDS.

This workshop is for all levels. Tonya Kay will guide you with her signature technique tips, prop support and hands on adjustments so you can safely build the shapes of several headstand variations and arm balance inversions in an unheated room.

You will leave feeling physically playful and empowered to bring new shapes to your yoga asana practice.

Arm Balances and Inversions are not advanced yoga. They are options to make it interesting to breathe in your body - for people who crave physical play (and often exhaustion) to experience meditation.

You can be as still as you like or as rigorous as you like in my Power Flow classes. We’re all seeking the same breath and presence - the asana is there to prepare us for meditation. Check my schedule, see you in class.
