Debi Tonsager
Debi’s yoga journey began in 2012 when she tried a $10 class pass, quickly becoming hooked by the heat and mindfulness (though she didn’t have a name for it yet). Her practice made such a difference in her life that she felt called to help others experience the same. After leaving corporate America in 2013, she sought a part-time path that aligned with her values and allowed her to make a meaningful impact.
In 2016, Debi completed her first teacher training with Yoga Faith, drawn by her strong desire to honor God in her life choices. Through this experience, she discovered the holistic nature of yoga and how the Yamas and Niyamas can deeply influence one’s life. She has continued her education with certifications in Yin Yoga, Mindfulness/Meditation Coaching, and various other advanced studies, including Ayurveda and Subtle Body Anatomy. In October 2023, she completed her 500 RYT certification.
Debi specializes in creating class themes and ambiance, and is passionate about teaching mindfulness meditation. In her classes, students can expect a calm, reflective atmosphere where they feel seen, heard, and supported. She hopes to offer tools for both inner peace and practical life applications, inspiring students to feel empowered and connected.
Her daily practice includes simple movements, breathing techniques, and mindfulness, helping her stay grounded and present in daily life. Debi integrates yoga into her routine by embracing meditation, breathwork, and spending time outdoors, stepping away from technology to find balance.
Currently, she teaches a variety of styles including Hatha, Yin, Sculpt, Vinyasa, Chair Yoga, and Moving Meditation, along with leading Meditation Workshops. Debi feels privileged to guide her students through their practice and offer moments of peace in their busy lives.
Namaste, Debi Tonsager
