  Tori Lunden delights in teaching people who, like her, never thought yoga was something they could do or enjoy. Her emphasis on positive body awareness and respect for individual needs allow everyone to practice in a way that feels safe, accessible, and beneficial. Tori completed her first yoga teacher training in 2008 through the World Conscious Yoga Family in Rishikesh, India. She has since completed yoga training programs through Yogaworks, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, Paul Grilley and Leslie Kaminoff.
