Tina Toft

My working life so far seems to have revolved around health and food from nursing to product design within the food industry.

Yoga found me a few decades ago and opened my eyes to a totally new way of living my physical and mindful life. I loved it so much I eventually became a Yoga Teacher (IYN500) - teaching others here and abroad. Along the way, I also trained in children’s yoga, pre and post-natal as well as many other more specialised yoga fields.

Yet somehow, I was still missing the final jigsaw piece - until I discovered the ‘Science of Ayurveda.’ Here was a way to balance my body through diet and digestion and my journey took a new turn.

Training in India and the UK to become an Ayurveda Practitioner and Nutritionist has only enhanced my passion for sharing the knowledge and health benefits I have grown to appreciate so much. Therefore ‘YOGI Health’ promotes an Ayurvedic lifestyle with focus on improving wellbeing and diet through training, consultation and specialist products.

I have combined my Yoga and Ayurveda experience to develop a new methodology and style for teaching yoga to help people with a wide variety of ailments and issues including cancer, mental health, recovery from illness and traumas, children with special needs such as ADHD and autism, and physical needs such as dyspraxia, asthma, scoliosis and much more.

At this stage of my life as a Yoga Elder my attention is focused on helping to grow the yoga community and the launch of the ‘YOGI Teacher Training Academy’ will aim to bring many new teachers into the world of yoga.

I hope to make the YOGI style of teaching totally unique and refreshing by combining all the best of yoga philosophy and practice with the wonderful health principles of Ayurveda.

A YOGI trained yoga teacher will hopefully be a very special person capable of truly helping and inspiring others to be all they can be.

Namaste – Tina
