Roni has been actively involved in the practice of yoga since 1972 (pregnant with her second child) when PBS began broadcasting the very first show "Lilias Yoga for You" with Lilias Folan. Since that time she has had the opportunity to study in Europe, India, Taiwan and Hawaii. She has taught in the Puget Sound near Seattle and on the islands of Taiwan, Hawai'i and Guam. She is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.

Roni's focus is peri and pre-natal Yoga Qi which not only prepares a woman for the hours of labour and birth but also the rigorous role of parenting. Learning to utilize one's life energy "Qi" with special yoga poses/positions assists in optimal fetal positioning for birth, thus reducing the need for epidurals, pain medications and even cesarean surgeries. More importantly, this practice empowers women for one of life's peak moments.
