    Description
    Her dedication and interests have taken her around the world. Canadian-born, Tory was raised in Amsterdam and moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to discover the world of yoga and Ayurveda. Tory then relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2005 to study at The Ayurvedic Institute under the guidance of her primary teacher, Dr. Vasant Lad. She also experienced her first pregnancy there during the last few months of her Ayurvedic studies with Dr. Lad, who gave her golden tips on pregnancy, birthing and post-natal healing and rejuvenation, which Tory passionately passes on to all women in her women’s workshops. Tory’s classes are as challenging as they are nourishing. They are strengthening yet softening, bringing you to a place within yourself where you have direct experience of finding both strength and softness, where all opposites become balanced.

    For The House of Yoga Tory has recorded several videos. She offers three ayurveda-based yoga practices, based on the three “dosha’s”. In corresponding interviews Tory explains the principles of Ayurveda and helps you understand how you can bring your energy back into balance. Finally, Tory offers three pre-natal videos, one to help you in each trimester.
