As a long time lover of dance and music, I frequently found my way to the Kripalu Chapel when in residence there. Over a period of about 16 years I travelled to Kripalu for 3-5 weeks a year taking programs, assisting in programs, facilitating, production managing and staff managing. In that time Toni is the trance dance instructor that inspired me the most, with her enthusiasm, deft teaching skills, inspired themes and of course her ability to craft the most spectacular playlists ever. I highly recommend her newsletter as well. It never fails to inspire me to come back to my authentic self and voice. So excited to share this great talent with you.
