Jennilee Toner, creator of Hot Warrior Yoga, has been practicing various forms of yoga since 1996 and has been teaching since 2003. Inspired by AFAA fitness trainings and yoga workshops, combined with her studies in mythology and transpersonal psychology, Toner finds innovative ways to revive traditional yoga practices.

In 2008, Toner spent two weeks at an ashram training with Sri Yogi Hari of Sampoorna Yoga. This experience  deepened her interest in, and knowledge of, the spiritual and scientific study of Hatha, Jnana, Bhakti, Nada, Karma, and Raja Yoga.

Toner works with Frog Lotus Yoga, combining Kundalini movements and chakra affirmations in Envision Yoga practice.
