Toni LaGree —
Precision over general.
Always.
Toni works from a tradition that treats yoga as a clinical tool — not a fitness class. Every session she teaches is built around a specific physiological target, sequenced deliberately, and grounded in decades of study under some of the most rigorous teachers in the field.
If you've been in classes where the instruction felt generic, this is different.
Built for one person.
You.
The tradition Toni works from — rooted in the teachings of TKV Desikachar — holds that yoga should be adapted to the individual, not the other way around. No fixed sequences. No class-sized assumptions. Each protocol is built around what a specific body needs to produce a specific result.
That means the Bone Density and Blood Pressure programs aren't yoga classes with a theme. They're structured protocols where every hold duration, every breath ratio, and every rest period is calibrated to the physiological mechanism you're trying to influence.
Toni's teachers are IAYT-credentialed — the gold standard in the field — and her anatomy training under Leslie Kaminoff means the structural work is precise, not approximate.
Son and student of the legendary Krishnamacharya, Desikachar developed Viniyoga — the principle that practice must serve the individual. His work is the foundation of the individualized, outcome-oriented approach that distinguishes what Toni does from general instruction.

What this looks like
in practice.
Every session has a specific physiological goal. The sequencing, timing, and rest are chosen to create a particular effect — not to move through a satisfying flow.
Live sessions mean real-time adjustments. Toni sees you, corrects in the moment, and modifies for your body — not the average body in a group class.
Each program includes a daily home practice designed to extend the stimulus between sessions — short, accessible, and built to compound over the six weeks.

someone who knows why.
The summer programs run June 8 – July 16. Six weeks, live online, built around bone density and blood pressure — two of the most research-supported targets in healthy aging.
