Toni is knowledgeable about yoga and puts a lot of thought and effort into her class. She is attentive and always willing to give feedback. The fact that her class always starts and ends late does stress me out a bit as a student with a back to back schedule.

Through Toni's yoga classes, I have learned a lot about mental and physical resilience. Her no-nonsense attitude & words of wisdom are always motivating. Love the start of class mantras, & appreciate the mix of yogic philosophy and physical rigor. You will sweat, but your mind & body feel great afterwards.

This is my 7th semester with Toni Mar and she continues to teach one of the best yoga classes I've ever taken. Moving into remote learning has been difficult, but she has excelled in engaging with the students and providing a class that teaches you physical and mental strength, as well as prepares you for life ahead.

I really enjoy Toni's class! I like the way that she pushes us beyond our limits and allows us to be resilient. I feel very at peace when I'm in class due to the mantras, and words of wisdom which she shares. The only thing that I'm not a big fan of is that Toni explains things verbally & it's hard hearing it and not seeing it.

Toni is fantastic! I've taken General Conditioning twice and I'm currently on my second round taking Core 3 and my first in Vinyasa yoga 1. Workouts are simple but effective at improving physicality while getting you into the training (or meditative) mindset. Toni is knowledgeable and respected, and she's great at guiding people of all skill levels

The professor gives everything clear and nice instructions and it's easy to follow. You won't feel lost at any point and it's a great way to relax during this pandemic. And there's not hard work has to be "forced" to do during this class.

Toni is a super good phys ed teacher. She motivates her students and pushes them to get more in shape! She also gives helpful feedback and is super understanding in these challenging times.

Toni is an amazing teacher! Her core class has definitely challenged me, and pushed me to do my best. Her different routines are detailed and challenging, and she is so great at motivating us all to keep going. She takes time to both explain the routine and answer any questions. I will definitely be taking more of her classes!

Toni is an excellent instructor. she keeps you motivated and really cares if we are improving or not. Her class helped me to learn more about my physical strength which was also helpful for me as well. I'm planning to take her class again.

Really like this class it makes me workout in the morning while working on my form. I recommend this class if you are looking to learn more about the fundamentals. The only issue is that the class runs over. I would also suggest to warm up before starting the class (we do not do cat/cow we just jump into sun sal.). great way to start the day!

I appreciate how Toni guides her beginning yoga students through various yoga fundamentals, empowering us to continue our practice outside of class / with minimal instruction as well. I also enjoy learning to "flow" in line with the breath. I also believe that Toni genuinely cares for her students, and is very receptive to any concerns I've had!

I took yoga with Toni last semester and her core-yoga class is no less intense. She pushes you to do your best and make every rep count. She motivates me to keep going and achieve my fitness goals!

The professor provides specific and clear instructions making it easy to follow. She always tells us the best way to get the most out of our workout. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the workouts she makes us perform. Her class ends a little late but it understandable if you need to leave a little early.

She connects the spiritual, mental and physical practice of Yoga together which I have found to be extremely rewarding. She starts of class with an inspirational quotes and relates the challenges of poses with the challenges of everyday life and in courses. I am able to deeper in poses through combination of my growing physical and mental strength.

Toni is really great! I would recommend her core & yoga class to anyone who wants to feel stronger both physically and mentally. She is tough because she makes you work hard but it's in the best way! I am always excited for her class.

Toni is a great teacher who understands her students. Her workouts can be a bit repetitive which isn't a style that I incredibly like, but that is a personal choice. I would take her class again!

She's a really great prof, very informative and focuses a lot on proper form.

Toni is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and cares a great deal about her students and what she teaches. Her classes are a holistic experience and she'll work out your body as well as your mind. I am so grateful to have come across a professor who has taught me so much that I will take with me beyond university. Take her classes for sure!

Toni is great at what she does period! She really know how you to make sure you not only get a great workout, but she makes sure that you understand how your body works. She teaches you drills that you can use forever (even after you graduate) and she teaches you health and nutrition tips that you can use for rest of your life. Overall great class!

This class is a good way to stay energized throughout the day. Toni is caring and makes the class challenging but is also accommodating of different skill levels.

Toni is an amazing instructor and always gives the best constructive criticism!

Professor Mar is an excellent professor. She is extremely helpful even when class is through zoom. She is descriptive with each pose to the point where you can typically get a good depiction of what the pose is like based on her word choices and if we are unsure about a pose, she is more than happy to help. She provides great guidance and support.

Toni is amazing! She really pushes her students to be present and give 110% every class. She expects a lot, but she is always warm and encouraging throughout the class. Her attitude makes you want to keep pushing yourself! Your body, mind, and soul will thank you for taking her class. <3

Toni Mar is one of the first names I think of when people ask me for class recommendations. I have been active my whole life and have always loved working out on my own, but Toni was able to teach us to practice our exercise with an intention and confidence that has totally transformed my approach to exercise :)

Professor Mar's beginner Vinyasa class has been great! I really had no formal exposure to yoga and I was worried that I would quickly get lost, but that hasn't been the case. She is really great and keeping the class on a good pace for a newbie, and gives helpful critiques that make a lot of sense. I really enjoyed this class!

I absolutely LOVE Toni Mar's Core Conditioning 2 class! She always pushes students to give their all, and it has really paid off. I feel stronger than I ever have before. She also focuses on a more holistic view of physical health, so you will be able to get a sense of nutrition and recovery, as well as exercise.

Toni Mar is a great yoga instructor! She always takes the time to explain why we do poses a certain way / is very specific about form to keep you from injuring yourself. She has in-depth knowledge of the body that elevates your training! One note is that the pace, even in a beginner class, does move a little quickly (but manageable!!)

Toni is a tough instructor but an excellent one! She gives thorough instructions surrounding yoga poses and emphasizes fundamentals in terms of self awareness in poses, and actually being able to correct your own movements. Taking yoga as a class has helped me push myself and I have seen it pay off in terms of flexibility and other sports.

Toni Mar is an amazing professor and coach. Throughout the course she will push you to your limits and you will definitely see and feel the progress throughout and after the class. She not only pushes you to do your best through the workouts but also pushes us to remember the form and the reasoning behind each workout to help outside of the course.

I've taken yoga and core classes with Toni, and one thing is clear: she's committed to her students' personal growth. As someone with chronic pain, her classes have offered much relief. She grades based on improvement and makes adjustments to ensure everyone can participate at whatever level they're on. Even on Zoom, her classes are engaging!

Toni helped me succeed mentally and physically in core training. She educated me on how to have good form which is something that I have been struggling to understand for a while. She is very nice, respectful, and supportive!

Toni is an incredible teacher, who is very attentive of everyone's levels of experience! As I am taking this class during COVID, she has been very approachable and understanding about individual situations and really works hard to make sure everyone is getting the most out of this class despite her teaching/the class's constraints :)

Toni Mar's core class is really a gem, quite a different experience from other PE that I've taken. She places a lot of emphasis on technique, which might seem unnecessary at first but is actually really important. I learned to tighten muscles I never really exercised before, and my core is feeling stronger every week.

Toni is amazing! I have taken three classes with her and will be taking another one next semester! Her classes are great, she is very kind, and a good teacher. I love having yoga in my class schedule because it always ends up making my day so much better!! Also, she cares so much about students and their well being.

Toni Mar gives good feedback and clearly knows her stuff. It seems like it might be hard to get a good grade in the class because she grades you on your form. The class is definitely effective in making you stronger. It's a little more leg heavy than I hoped, though

Fun class and super good professor. I would take another class with her and suggest to others

Toni's classes have been one of the highlights of my time at Berkeley! She is an amazing teacher and mentor. Above all, she emphasizes being your own teacher and guides you in the process of creating your own support system to be resilient and tackle the world of Berkeley and beyond! 100% would recommend :)

I will continue to take Toni Mar's classes for the regular, consistent exercise. And to see her dog in that cute Cal jacket again!

I'm taking the Cross-Training Core and Yoga course with Toni. This semester it's virtual but that doesn't affect how much work each class is! Definitely happy I joined her class and will be taking another one with her next semester. Don't think that a level 1 PE class online is a breeze! You'll be tired each time but get stronger!

Loved taking Toni's cross-training core and yoga class. She definitely pushes you for the core portion of the class, but the workout is so rewarding. I feel so energized after and am amazed at how much strength I have gained. Toni provides great instruction, feedback, as well as healthy tips.

Professor Mar gives very constructive feedbacks on yoga posts, as she is well aware that incorrect posts can lead to serious injuries.

Love Toni so much, taking her next semester!

Taking beginner yoga with Toni Mar online has been a surprisingly smooth experience. I feel challenged in her class, she gives clear advice when she spots something incorrect over video, and has a great attitude each day. She has been accommodating and understanding of people's needs to be asynchronous, as 2020 just keeps doing its thing.

Her Vinyasa Yoga class has been kicking my ass, in the best way possible. She places a strong emphasis on functional movement and commitment whilst leading the pose --> pleasure in intentional, mindful effort! Gives constructive comments on form even in Zoom uni

Toni is great! She is encouraging and I enjoy every class. I am taking her class on zoom, cause the rona, and it is still a great class. I would definitely take again.

Toni works you hard but it's very rewarding. Even though I was sweating hard, I had lots of fun. I saw progress in my own physical fitness over the past several weeks and would highly recommend to others.

Toni has helped me push myself in achieving better flexibility and is always constructive to help you be a better you! Her calmness and careful teaching always makes me comfortable in yoga even if I may not be the best at it!!

The practice is designed to expose you to the correct poses/breathing and makes you push yourself to the next level. Starting mornings with yoga helps to concentrate better throughout your day and relieve stress. I really appreciate yoga with Toni and hope to continue practicing after the course is over.

Toni is a very clear instructor, and this beginning class is great for anyone either just getting into yoga, or wanting to improve their form/understanding of the poses.

Good class, very motivational to keep going through the workout, helpful tips on health and fitness interspersed.

I think that this class presents a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with yourself. It helps separate yourself from all the stress for an hour. It is helpful to remember to be present in life and be thankful for what is good. I think the class is super helpful for de-stressing. It helped me gain strength within myself.

I've taken Toni's classes for two semesters now. It's great to start my day with the right mindset and get motivated. She's super accessible outside of class and really makes sure that you learn the fundamentals. I appreciate her commitment to helping students grow, both mentally and physically. Highly recommend!

Toni Mars class made me wish I could have taken PE every semester at Cal, and this is coming from someone who put exercise at the bottom of my priority list during the semester. Even over Zoom, she made sure to watch every student and coached them and made sure they knew how to do the exercise without hurting themselves. Super helpful!! And fun!

Toni is a very knowable yoga teacher and shapes the class in a way to introduce positivity and personal (emotional and physical) strength into the practice. Highly recommend!

Many students at Cal aren't aware that they have access to practical health resources like this. All you have to do is show up, be intentional, and put in as much as you want to get out while Toni handles the rest. Toni breaks down how these exercises work in your body. She takes into account your capabilities and focuses on self-improvement.

Toni's classes are definitely hard work but so worth it! She makes working out and staying healthy easy by having a set time every week to make sure you're on track. Not only do you get good fitness out of these classes, but her playlist is iconic! Definitely will take her classes again and I'm glad I signed up!

In the beginning the workouts were really hard(was out of shape/no core training before)and I always got sore after them, but after a couple of weeks I could definitely feel a difference. After doing more and more workouts I stopped getting sore after them anymore and I started to feel more strength in my whole body.

Toni's class is challenging but really rewarding. I've seen a lot of improvement in my yoga and overall mental wellbeing. Definitely recommend.

I'm now taking my fourth class with Toni and honestly I HIGHLY recommend her classes, she is amazing! She pushes you to do her best, so it's especially great if you feel like you slack or skip out on exercise without the structure of a class. This class has taught me so much about grounding myself and has helped a lot w/ my mental health too!

She is a great person! Her PE classes are a must take!

By far one of the best teachers I've had! I'm taking Mindfulness and Stress Management with her and it has been an amazing experience! She leads classes extremely well and genuinely cares about her students and their experience. I've noticed tremendous improvements in my posture and mood. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Toni is a great instructor! She'll break you down and build you back up while playing throwback bops. I thought I was in relatively good shape before but Toni proved me wrong in the best way. I've seen incredible improvement in my body since starting with Toni and would definitely take her again.

I had Toni for Vinyasa yoga online. She is great! Highly recommend.

I took the Yoga Cross Training 2 class with Toni and it was great! She gives really helpful feedback and really cares for her students. The workouts are intense and I noticed I was getting so much stronger within only a couple weeks of taking this class. She also stresses the importance of nutrition and proper self care. Highly recommend!!

I was hesitant to take Yoga because I am a heavier set with very tense areas, but I still signed up for beginner yoga with Toni. This class has been anything but easy, but that's exactly where my growth has come from. Toni has great energy and a very firm way of instructing while respecting everyone's different levels of progress. Highly recommend!

Toni is an incredible teacher. She is so knowledgable and takes the time to instruct you every detail carefully. I love that she also teaches you how to make sure you are doing things right, and how to correct yourself if not. While she can sometimes sets very high expectations, you know it is for your own good and it is the only actual way to prog

Toni is awesome. I took Core Conditioning 1 with her, and not to flex or anything, but I'll be walking away from this class with more ab definition than I've ever had before. I genuinely loved all of the workouts she definitely makes you work but I feel 100% stronger. She teaches you exercise moves and body awareness and I 100/10 recommend.

Ive grown up to understand yoga through a western lens which only focuses on the physical practice. The way Toni teaches yoga - physical and philosophical - has changed my life. Not because I can do a downward dog or confidently stand in mountain pose, but because she helped me learn self reliance and life skills. Highly recommend!!!

Toni is my favorite physical education instructor ever. I love the way she describes exercises step-by-step in order to help you get into the pose. She is very responsive by email and willing to answer questions for students. Although her classes are physically challenging, I think the results are worth the struggle.

I LOVE TONI. I took mindfulness this semester and it was by far my favorite class. 100% recommend

She definitely challenged me (which is exactly what I want in a workout class), so if are prepared to work hard and improve your fitness and flexibility then this is a great class for you. There were times when her explanations or demonstrations weren't totally clear but I think a lot of time it was due to the difficulty to communicate over zoom

Toni is an amazing teacher! I took vinyasa yoga 1 with her, and it was the highlight of my semester. It was a great way to relieve stress from other classes. Toni is really great at teaching the fundamentals and different yoga poses step-by-step. Even over Zoom, I felt that her explanations were clear and easy to follow.

She's a great teacher, never pushes you farther than your body can go, but doesn't let you off easy either. I wanted to take yoga for the health and mindfulness benefits and I definitely received that throughout the semester. I'll be taking another class with her in the fall.

I just completed Yoga 1 with Toni. While it was definitely not easy, it was not impossible. To see & feel my body beginning to "wake up" was truly an accomplishment given my body size and inactivity. Her reflections prior to beginning the day's poses were so inspirational & motivating. I look forward to utilizing what Toni has taught me onward!

The BEST BEST BEST physical fitness teacher I have ever had, really looking forward to taking more classes with Toni! Thank you so much for everything :)

I really enjoyed taking her yoga class! I appreciate how she emphasizes that the journey of yoga is different for everyone and doing your best is all that matters. She was very accommodating for my injuries and told me how I could modify the poses. I learned a lot about myself and improved my ability to handle tough situations through her class.

I took a 6 week Core Conditioning summer class with Prof Mar. I attended asynchronously, but that didn't hinder any of my progress! Prof Mar really knows her stuff and gave substantial feedback on each of my workouts. She's very easy to communicate with, and I felt very encouraged by her - she made me want to succeed! Highly recommend!

I took Toni's 6-weeks Core Conditioning class. I was taking another class and also interning at the same time. Her 1hr workouts were the highlight of the day. I started to do them during my lunch break and it gave me so much energy to go through the rest of the day. It's amazing how in just six weeks I could see changes both in strength & fitness

Her summer yoga course gave me a physical and mental health jump start. I attended synchronously and asynchronously. Both were extremely effective methods to learn yoga. I preferred the synchronous lectures because the live positive encouragement really motivated me. My mind and body feel great and I am taking her next semester to further improve.

The summer core session help me get more physically active. It is so nice to workout with someone telling you what to do. No need to think, just put forth effort. The lectures were live and we had the option to watch recordings at our convenience. To get to my health goals, I will be taking several of her courses next semester. Phenominal class!

Professor Mar first reviewed the alignment at the beginning of class. I found this useful because its helping me make it muscle memory (especially since I cant exercise right now). Then Professor Mar went over the double curl routine. The different varieties of extension are what can make this exercise less or more challenging.

Two weeks into the class, I sprained my ankle playing volleyball. But I've been doing what I can to keep learning: visualizing the poses, modifying the sequence, and focusing on the mental aspect of yoga. And I've grown so much! My ankle is healed now but through the whole process Professor Mar has been super supportive, encouraging me atevery step

Toni is awesome! She works you hard, but is supportive and encouraging the whole time. I could see true progress being made and couldn't ask for a better yoga and core instructor. Taking her classes put you in a great environment that is rare to find at Berk. Take one of her classes!

An amazing professor and instructor who recognizes that her students come with varying skill levels, backgrounds, and experiences. Her flexibility and welcoming of diversity/individuality, is incredibly refreshing and helps to make her teaching digestible.

After taking Toni's class for 4 semesters now, I have managed to lose over 100lbs and keep it off. Starting my freshman year, you learn about your body, how to train to get the most out of each activity, nutrient recovery (which is crucial!!!), and more in Toni's class. Toni teaches you how to live a healthy life both at and after Cal.

Much harder than what I expected. However, she was incredibly understanding and helpful. The classes were always challenging and fun.

She's caring and helpful during the lecture. You just need to get involved and practice to get a good grade.

I took this class to have a way to wake up my body in the mornings and it definitely did work. It not only helped with easing the tension I have from stress and walking everywhere but also was challenging enough to even make it feel like a morning workout. I totally recommend the class. The instructor is amazing and you can do it whenever.

This class opened my eyes to what my body was and was not capable of. Inspired me to invest more in myself in the upcoming years and get in better shape.

Toni is an amazing yoga instructor! She pushes you out of your comfort zone, while still making sure every pose is doable for everyone (pose modifications). Whats amazing is that the focus and persistence attained from taking her class transfers into life outside of yoga. Overall, I recommend!

I loved Toni's Yoga 1 class and will take Yoga 2 in the Spring. Highly recommend!

Toni guides you to become your best self and reach your physical goals. Not only does Toni encourage and teach you how to do exercises correctly, she also is incredibly flexible and understanding. I would recommend any of her classes as you will gain such life applicable and valuable skills!

She is very understanding and knows her subject really well. I loved taking her class and appreciate her overall flexibility with us.

Toni certainly has high expectations of her students, but is a stellar instructor in that she gives ample support to students to meet those expectations. Class was always a challenge but 5 years later, I still run through the sun salutation that I learned in class as well as the crow pose. She was rigorous in the most inspirational way.

Toni is very passionate in teaching and always brings to class the best energy! Im only one class in, but its been great. Would definitely recommend to friends :)

A very understanding professor and very knowledgeable about what she does. Wants everyone to do well.

Toni Mar's yoga class is the best physical education class I've taken at Cal. It was phenomenal for both my physical and mental health and I highly recommend every Cal student take it!

I am so glad I took this class! Since I took my first class with Toni I became addicted and I've taken at least one every semester since. She's so thoughtful and helpful and responsive it's incredible! And I learned more in one summer in her yoga class than I did practicing it for 3 years before her class.

Professor Mar's class taught me the nadi shodhana which was the most important part of the class for me. I have never practiced breathing past the anxiety GIFs that my therapists give me. Doing this not only woke me up from feeling sluggish, but it made me feel clearer in the head. Her classes aren't hard, but they make you push yourself.

Toni is incredible. Her breadth of knowledge, and she finds ways to deliver it with insightful/humorous stories, as well as manageable exercises. She's got your back and will do everything it takes for you to succeed. I've taken her Core, vinyasa yoga and Mindfulness classes--all SUPER recommended by me!

I took Toni Mar's yoga class in 2008 during my last semester at Cal, and it was life-changing. I highly recommend her courses to anyone who's buried in a mound of textbooks, assignments, and projects at Cal. This class will get you back into your body!!! Which is so important for life, happiness, and making a true POSITIVE difference in the world.

Toni is an incredible yoga instructor. I was a beginner before taking her class, and she has been extremely encouraging and understanding throughout the semester. Yoga is a fabulous stress-reliever and has made me very grateful. I love discovering new things about my body -- the other day, I accomplished toe balancing and felt so proud of myself!

I took Vinyasa Yoga and Mindfulness classes. I can say that Toni is an amazing and professional instructor. She is also concerned about students' stress and feelings. You will not get bored and stressed in her classes. She allows asynchronous, which is so nice! I would highly recommend her classes! You can get a lot of new thinking about life!

Toni is amazing. She teaches Vinyasa yoga like no-one else. I've always enjoyed learning new challenging poses but these are rarely taught in a regular yoga class. Well, she will teach you those and you'd better be up for the challenge! Her instructions are always very clear and so helpful. Thanks for three amazing semesters!

I loved this course. Toni really challenged us. As someone who was already in decent shape, I walked out feeling even stronger and much more confident with my body as well. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to improve their core, leg, and upper body strength to enroll in this class. I intend to follow these workouts even after the sem

Toni was a fantastic instructor. She did a great job of teaching the poses of the class and helping students improve their form and fitness. She was also very accommodating, helping modify the curriculum for those who had limitations. She does a good job of making the class enjoyable while pushing you to improve your practice.

Toni is definitely one of the most passionate instructors I've ever met. Her classes are really helpful. Highly recommend!

Professor Toni genuinely wants to see you succeed and provides helpful comments to help you improve your yoga practice. Very low stress class to have fun and relax in during a busy semester :)

I loved Toni as a Coach of the cross-training class (core/yoga). She is so meticulous about posture and alignment and teaches you why it is so important (avoid injuries!). She is always providing feedback and re-explaining if necessary so that everybody does the poses correctly. She also covers nutrition and recovery!

I worked with Toni while I was recovering from a back injury. She pushed me to work hard physically, but was flexible with the limitations of my injury, allowing me to submit reflections if I couldn't perform. This course was taught synchronously and asynchronously, which helped me attend class at my own pace and catch up when necessary! Loved it.

I absolutely love Professor Mar's classes. She puts in so much effort to educating students about proper nutrition and stress management. All of her methods have definitely helped drastically increase my emotional wellbeing. In addition, she gives amazing feedback and pinpoints the areas that will help you improve.

Extremely responsible and helpful PE instructor! I've been taking her classes four times during my college life. I took core conditioning with her and she teaches all the fundamentals about the body, muscle groups, and the rationale behind each movement of drills, so the students can really understand what they are doing and why they are doing so.

This class with professor Mar has been one of the best experiences that I have had. She is truly passionate about what she does which allows you to connect to the material much easier. I really hope that if anyone has a chance to take the class they will.

Toni is an amazing instructor!! She definitely pushes her students, but she is supportive and encouraging. I have taken multiple of her classes in both yoga and core/strength training and have loved all of them. I always see significant progress in myself throughout the semester, and I am excited to take yet another course of hers.

Taking PE classes with Toni is always fun! She has high expectations, but you will improve your skills by the end of the class guaranteed. She's very knowledgeable and accommodating if you have extenuating circumstances.

amazing overall

Toni is really different from other professors. She is not only teching us yoga but also self-discipline. I shall say the course is not easy and you need to commit your energy to have a good grade. And you will have a great progress.

I enjoyed her class very much. She teaches by example and is very knowledgeable. I took the course online and she still managed to keep me motivated. I wish her class was 3 times a week instead of just two. If you commit you will see results towards the end of the semester. I recommend this professor 100%

Very good at her craft, has a tremendous knowledge on different aspects of physical education which allowed me to get the most out of my experience.

Meets twice a week, and gives good feedback. Ask the professor for tips and questions during class!! She's amazing and very insightful. I always looked forward to her classes as a pick me up, its super energizing.

Very good instructor! She is definitely an expert knowing a lot about core-training and Yoga. She can always deliver the content of the course clearly and answer your question about exercising techniques. She is really helpful and taking her class definitely bring a better life to me!

Toni is AMAZING! I cannot stress enough how her Core classes changed my life. She is so attentive to detail, knowledgeable, and gives amazing feedback. You can tell she is genuinely so passionate about the subject. Take this class it'll be tough but you won't regret it!!!

Incredible instructor! By the end of the semester you'll feel stronger, more flexible, and with a new ability to manage stress through movement. Toni explains thoroughly how each drill/yoga pose works your muscles and gives helpful feedback throughout class to improve your skill set. It's a tough class but very worth it!

It was a pleasure taking Toni Mar for Yoga Vinyasa 1 and 2, and Mindfulness and Stress Management. These online courses really saved the day with my time at CAL. I became healthier while I attended school, and I have a good basis to continue to be healthy afterward. If you are wondering whether or not you should take her classes, just do it.

I took this class completely asynchronously bc of a conflict, and I was still able to learn so much! Asynch requires you to send 3-5min videos of your workout + commentary, and Toni provides you with wonderful feedback for your videos. Great way to get started in Yoga! You won't regret taking this class with her

I have take a few of her yoga classes. The techniques are taught in a manner that is easy to comprehend. Attendance it key to a good grade. There are no expectaions on the ability to do poses. I am somewhat not flexable and had difficluty or the lack of ability to do some poses. I continually improved and recieved a good grade.

Core 3 is the only correct way to start your morning. There is no thinking involed. You listen to maticulous instructions and move your body accordingly. Time flys by and you have worked out your enitre body. It is easy to get a good grade. Do all the session synchronously or asynchonously and put forth effort to improve. So simple.

Dr Mar did a fantastic job of describing the workouts, so much so that I could close my eyes for an hour session and do every movement just based off the names and descriptions she gave of them. The workouts were also fantastic and helped me lose 15 pounds in the span of 2 months! Beginner/intermediate fitness level peoples should take this course!

I did Toni's class remotely and really got a lot out of it. She pushes students to test their limits and move beyond them, not just passively do the exercises -- I was amazed at what my body was able to do by the end of the course. I really learned a lot and grew from the class.

I took the online Yoga 1 and Core 2 classes on zoom. You could attend the live zoom or follow along recordings on your own time. Toni was so good at explaining movements and creating a stress free environment at the beginning of the day. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Toni is so helping and kind. I am her student in Mindfulness class and every class is so awesome and helpful. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed Toni's General Conditioning 1 class. Her class is good for both beginners and people who have work out experience since the movements are scalable and the classes get progressively harder. She emphasizes good form, which was really helpful. I definitely feel like I got stronger during the semester.

Toni has been a great instructor. I found that through her use of whimsical encouragement and animated patience I could go above and beyond the limits I set up for myself. I went from struggling with Downward dog to a Tripod Headstand in just a few months! Highly recommend taking her class!

She clearly knows what she is talking about and is extremely capable of conveying it to all of her students. She is also compassionate and understanding, adjusting certain exercises for you if you need, and gives clear feedback after each submission, letting you know exactly how to improve. Easily one of the best professors I have had at Berkeley.

Toni Mar is such a wonderful teacher and human being. I have learned so much from her and was able to strengthen my breath work through taking her course! Highly recommend taking any class with Toni, she is truly incredible :)

I took Toni's Mindfulness and Stress Management class, and it helped change my life. With all the stresses of being a UC Berkeley student, and working full time, her class gave me the opportunity to become more connected with myself everyday. If you want to become more disciplined and aware, I'd highly recommend taking a class with her.

Toni not only provides clear guidance, in different ways, to execute different yoga poses but she talks you through the movements sharing insights that apply to yoga and everyday life. Toni pushes you while meeting you where you're at. This was my first time taking a yoga class and was immediately hooked. I will be returning next semester.

The yoga tips given in class were helpful!

Toni was great! I took Core Cond 3 and saw ENORMOUS improvement in my strength. She explains workouts very clearly, varies the workouts between classes so they're fun and interesting while still clearly building on each other, and gives great feedback. The workouts are challenging and she is strict on attendance, but I highly recommend Toni!

I loved the ability to take the PHYSED 224 lectures online either synchronously or asynchronously. Having the video recordings allowed me to follow along to the lectures any time during the week. Professor Mar provided a ton of feedback after we submitted video recordings. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking to build fitness!

She is a very nice professor. It would be a good idea to take her class!

Ms. Mar has impacted my life in so many aspects beyond the scope of yoga. With her rigorous curriculum, every yogi learns the fundamentals and understands and accepts themselves for who they are. I highly recommend taking a yoga class through the physical education program, I can guarantee that you are going to learn so much about yourself.

Toni Mar is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. As long as you participate in class, or watch the asynchronous video later, you will pass the class. She truly cares about her students, and even has a pizza party at the end of the semester.

Toni is amazing at what she does. She knows yoga to the core and imparts that knowledge during the practices. I am really glad I took this course. It's at 7 am which is a stretch but knowing that I will spend a solid one hour with my body helps.

This class is amazing and I love how Toni encourages us to build up our mental strength as well as physical. Show up, get a good workout in, and leave feeling more confident and proud of yourself!

Great experience learning yoga from her! Wish I could've discovered yoga earlier :)

Wonderful!

I have been taking classes with Toni for 3 semesters now and I couldn't be happier. Her classes always leave me feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the day. Everyone comes into each class at differing levels and abilities and she gives a lot of space for growing and improvement. Will be taking her classes for the rest of my undergrad!

The physical education class is really not easy but the professor is very helpful!

Super fun class! it started at beginner level yoga but quickly built up to much more complicated poses and sequences. It was an enjoyable experience would definitely recommend it.

I took 2 of her classes: yoga and mindfulness and I enjoyed both. Her teaching style is very easy to understand. She is big on zen and her energy is so peaceful, even though I took both classes asynchronously, I still felt her amazing energy. I recommend Professor Mar's classes to anyone looking for a chill class to add balance to their schedule.

Toni is a great yoga instructor and I really enjoyed her class. It was really challenging but I think I definitely got stronger over the course of the class, and she's very understanding about absences for personal reasons and accommodations!

Pe3 is no cakewalk class! You are really challenged and improve your strength and flexibility throughout the semester. She is also very understanding of the busyness of being a student at Cal. I was behind in the class a few weeks and we worked out a solution to get me caught up. I recommend every student at Cal take a PE course with Professor Mar!

Taking Core1 with Prof Toni Mar is the best decision I have ever made. She explains why we do each routine + no class is ever the same. My key takeaway from this class was to understand the importance of consistency. She has taught me to give priority to my health, and has made the act of PE FUN, which I didn't think was possible.

I really liked Toni's class because she always explains in a clear way all the exercises. She is caring and makes sure all students are doing the exercises in a way that won't hurt them, even for an online class.

Instructor Mar is the best!! I got to learn about yoga, master poses and have some type of relaxation during class. She connects emotions and real-world situations when she is teaching, creating a really comfortable environment.

I learned a lot of yoga poses in this class. The teaching is very inspirational, so I'm feeling stronger and flexible both physically and emotionally.

I am in her mindfulness and stress management class! Def recommend! Toni is a great instructor! Might feel like "why on Earth am I doing this" but the class is worth it! You learn how to be a better human!!!! 10/10 AMAZING professor!!!!

I loved Ms. Mar. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about yoga and cared about the success of her students. She has very clear standards for grading and it's easy to meet all of the requirements. I would absolutely take this course again!

Toni is an excellent yoga teacher for beginners or those looking to deepen their understanding of Vinyasa fundamentals! So grateful I took her class!

Toni is great for those who are new to yoga and also for those who have prior experience. She clearly knows how to teach, and even accomplishes this while teaching courses online in my case which is impressive. She is very knowledgeable and fun to learn from.

The class is really good; it helps a lot with posture and endurance. The exercises are challenging, but Toni is great. Attendance is mandatory, but if it is the online format, you can watch the video recording later in case you can't join the Zoom meeting at the class-designated time.

Yoga class with Toni has been the only 7am class I've enjoyed! I loved starting my day off with yoga and Toni is an excellent teacher for students of all experience backgrounds. I feel I have really improved upon my strength and posture.

An amazing class taught by an incredible professor. Makes sure to push everyone to continue to do well and improve in the class. If you're debating whether you should take this class or not, I would totally recommend it. I took it twice and had a great experience. You will get out what you put in so keep that in mind as you complete the workouts

Loved her! So positive and motivating. Really knows her stuff and talks about the class in a lovely way- all about getting strong and healthy rather than aesthetic. Made me love working out! The class starts easy and builds as you continue. I would suggest P/NP and just do your best. 100% recommend.

Thank you so much for providing us such enjoyable classes. I would say the meditation with Toni is one of the best berkeley courses in my opinion. I was a big fan of meditation, but just following the phone app which is hard to make it into a habit.

I learned life lessons from Toni. I registered the class for several times out of other's will and was uncomfortable with it so I dropped, until the time I took it for myself, which makes all the difference; I engaged eagerly, driven by personal curiosity, not outside influences. I learned not only how to manage stress but also value my choices.

Toni Mar is a great instructor and takes student needs into consideration to ensure their progress and learning!

Toni Mar is a great professor! I took vinyasa 2 with her and I loved it. She is very positive and she motivated me to love yoga. The class gets more difficult as it progresses, but Toni Mar is super helpful. My posture, flexibility, and strength have improved a lot.

Toni Mar is a wonderful yoga teacher. Her class is challenging in the best way. I've been practicing yoga (casually) for many years, and was finally able to master some tough poses in her class!

I take Vinyasa online course this semester to relieve my stress and the tightness in my shoulder. Throughout the pratices, I felt my chest opening up and body becoming more flexible. Toni guides us through the moves and will correct the wrong movements if spotted. Looking forward to building in more flexibility and stability within my body!

Currently taking core conditioning with Toni and really enjoyed the class! I took it so that I can get some regular exercises throughout the week and I think this class definitely helped me accomplish that goal. The class is not difficult, you just need to try your best when doing all the moves. You won't hurt yourself. I never felt worn out

I am currently taking Toni's Yoga & Core class and love it. Toni is great at helping motivate us to push through and test our limits, as well as teaching us how to work out and prevent injury. I have seen great improvements in my strength, endurance, and mindset and loved it so much that I am taking her again next semester!

Amazing professor, you get out of the class as much as you put in!

I do weight training for bodybuilding but my time in her yoga class was amazing! I was able to train in a way I normally don't and I learned so much about both yoga and my typical weightlifting work because of Professor's background in kinesiology. I definitely recommend her courses for anyone looking to try a new kind of fitness or mindfulness!

Toni is an absolutely amazing teacher. I am in her asynchronous Mindfulness and Stress Management class and I absolutely love it. She is a calming presence with great insights and lots of knowledge. It is easy to see how passionate she is about wellness , and it inspires me to prioritize myself more. Just be sure to stay on top of your recordings!

Professor Mar's class has been the highlight of my college experience here at Berkeley. I really recommend to every student who can to take at least one class with her. Not only is it extremely benefitial for your physical health, your mind, heart and soul will thank you too. The professor is kind, understanding, funny, and just lovely

Professor Mar is amazing! Her lectures in yoga and mediation have really challenged my body and will overall have a positive impact in my life. I recommend taking yoga with her for a life changing experience. You will not only learn more about yoga, but also gain perspective about you and your life. I will always be grateful. Thanks Professor.

Toni is a great instructor! I had never really done yoga before taking her classes, and I definitely would do it again. She makes it clear that you just need to try your best. The main thing is making sure to attend all scheduled classes. Discipline is big, and this is a great way to start the day.

Very inspiring professor. Learned a lot about myself and what my body is capable of through her class. She teaches more than just poses but also the big picture of why we practice exercises to take care of ourselves and be happy outside of the classroom!

Great course, and Toni is really encouraging!

I think Toni is really inspiring. She puts in a lot of effort to make the course resourceful for the students! It was an inspiring journey! Would love to attend more classes with her! Great meditation techniques.

Toni is an excellent yoga instructor who provided great support as I started from scratch. I definitely recommend Toni's classes to anyone interested in yoga, whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills.

I felt a strong difference in my core throughout the semester. Toni is a supportive and inspiring instructor and makes full use of the hour. Be sure to consistently come to classes because it can be a hassle to make up and you could lose your momentum. I preferred her in-person classes much more than online classes as it was more interactive!

Do everything in your ability to attend every class meeting and ask questions when you are unclear about how a specific exercise is performed along with any logistics of the course. Show that you want to succeed in the course and your effort will pay off. When performing the exercises perform them to the best of your ability.

Toni is one of the most motivating professors, she pushes you and doesnt let you give up on yourself. Every day in her class shed get us to push our limits (safely!) w/ expectations made sure you didnt cheat yourself. It's a great experience getting to mentally and physically challenge yourself in a safe, helpful environment without peer pressure!

She is an amazing professor who really helped me destress and taught me how to do so. The yoga classes are a bit challenging but truly fulfilling. She guided me step by step each week, and I was really proud of how many poses I could accomplish by the end of the semester!

Toni was a great teacher. Note that attendance is mandatory and if you miss a class you will need to make it up at a later time. Other than that she was very inspirational and I am very fortunate to have the chance to take a class with her!

Toni is awesome and taking her class changed a lot in me for the better. Even through a difficult semester she was supportive and patient. She is very easy to learn from and work with even online. I plan on taking more of her classes!

Toni is one of the best teachers, academic or non academic, I have ever had. She is exceedingly knowledgeable and will help guide you through a journey of understanding your body and it's limits. I have gotten stronger and more flexible, and Toni's classes significantly improve my overall quality of life. Thank you Toni!!

I took Professor Toni's core conditioning class and I truly enjoyed the challenge her workouts provided! It is a rigorous training program that is doable at all levels because the training is progressive week by week as we build on endurance and stamina. My advice is to commit to the workouts with minimal if any absences because attendance matters!

3rd semester taking Toni's Vinyasa yoga! Toni is such an inspiring and supportive teacher. The in-person classes were nice since demonstrations were easier. Attendance is mandatory though, so the online course was also very convenient and valuable when a class is missed since you can make up the same content through the recording!

I took vinyasa yoga with Toni this semester. It was well-structured and the environment was welcoming for beginners. She integrates her kinesiology background into the practice well and helps students with correct alignment to avoid injury/increase effectiveness. She is also very positive and responsive to students. Great way to start the day!

Toni is motivating and caring, helping students keep on track with their fitness classes in the midst of busy schedules. She conveys the concepts clearly and demonstrates the poses well. 100% recommended if you're interested in a class she's instructing!

Incredible professor. So motivational and so well educated. Really helps us grasp and internalize every single exercise and trains us well for life outside university. So grateful to have her as my trainer.

Prof. Mar's classes are well-structured and balanced, providing a good mix of physical exercise and mental relaxation. It's a space where you feel encouraged to push your boundaries, so join her class!

Toni is a great yoga teacher! I really liked how my class was the in the morning so I was forced to start my day earlier, and how Toni pushed us harder every class to get results. She's really good an explanation all the different poses and tries to make you self-sufficient so that you can do yoga beyond Berkeley!

I had mindfulness with this professor, and the classes are really inspiring. I enjoy all the activities we've done in class, and I've been attending asynchronously so there is just one takeaway video ~3 min to do for each class. Attendance is super mandatory but allows submitting takeaway videos 7 days late with no penalty.

I'm bummed we're in the final stretch of classes, because this class was truthfully the best class I've ever taken in my life. No where else have I learned to have the patience, grace, and kindness with myself through challenges, as I have here in your class, as your student. Thank you thank you thank you Professor Mar!!!

She teaches amazing classes. It will pick you up and make your day better.

Class really actually helped me make changes in myself and in my life, outside of academics. Mindfulness and Stress Mgmt is a class everyone should take. I have learned to let my stress roll off my back and to go with the motions. This is incredible for me to be able to say as someone who was chronically high-stress before the class. Thanks Prof!

Toni's vinyasa yoga class was amazing!! As someone who has taken vinyasa yoga before I thought it would be too repetitive but Toni quickly became my favorite yoga teacher. She integrated clear instructions with lots of student support and overall this semester was so fun. Online attendance is mandatory but the asynch option was super helpful.

I learned a lot from Toni's Vinyasa 1 class! She has a really cool attitude about the practice and always relates it back to our daily lives. I don't recommend skipping any classes because there is an emphasis on making them up as a significant part of your grade which can get stressful if you struggle with time management.

Took both Vinyasa yoga and stress management and loved both sections! Planning to come back again in the fall! Very doable even if you don't have any prior expirience.

Classes with Toni are the best part of my day! She has clear instructions and creates an environment that's very welcoming. As someone who isn't athletic at all, I was worried about taking a core & running and yoga class, but I quickly realized I was in good hands. The growth I saw in myself both mentally & physically this semester is amazing. :)

Loved this class!

Toni is wonderful! She cares deeply about students and about imparting lessons that we can take to our own yoga practice and beyond. I have also really appreciated her attention to detail when it comes to proper form. I had been practicing yoga for a couple of years before I took her class and I learned SO much with Toni.

Toni is wonderful! I entered her class w/ mobility issues & no prior workout experience. Toni was great about helping me modify. If you have a pre-existing condition, Toni will work with you. She pushes & encourages her students. I'm in the best shape of my life b/c Toni pushed me beyond my perceived limits. Take a class w/ her, you wont regret it!

I took her core conditioning class, and as a male strength athlete, I finished each workout exhausted and drenched in sweat. She does not slack and makes you work to your limits. Her strict attendance policy keeps you in check, and in my case, after surviving the flu, and making up several classes, all the work culminated me in having more stamina

Toni is the best yoga instructor I have ever had. I am a returning student and have been practicing yoga for the past 5 years but Toni has helped me reached heights I never knew possible. She is inspirational, caring and inspiring. I highly suggest taking her course.

Online vinyasa class. As someone pretty experienced in yoga, this class was very rudimentary and a little boring, but you get a good foundation. I attended asynchronously (versus Zoom), so I just had to submit short ~3min videos of my practice.

Very motivating professor who challenges her students to do well and succeed. Very accommodating as well.

I loved this class so much academically and for my own personal experience. Coming full circle from the start to finish has showed me how much I have learned and utilized in my personal, everyday life. I 11/10 recommend this class, especially if you find yourself wanting to improve/explore mindfulness in every aspect of life. Thank you Professor!

I've taken several class with Toni. She is an inspiring, dedicated instructor. I feel motivated by her classes and her commitment to helping students build their strength, endurance, and tenacity physically and mentally. She clearly cares about her students and is passionate about health and fitness.

Toni is amazing. It not "easy" class bc yoga is hard but she gives great fundamentals. I was injured & had to take an I, she was accommodating & helped me throughout. After injury, getting back to normal strength/flexibility was challenge & w her help, I was able to do it & some.The class helps cope w stress&anxiety,I would take all of her classes

Toni is very encouraging and kind, and I'm glad to be in her class. The workouts are intense but I definitely feel more fit. Abt the yoga class- it is very good. My flexibility has improved and I can touch my toes for the first time in a long time. Also, yoga isn't just a “female sport” - men can definitely participate too (I say this as a male)!

Toni freaking MAR! Toni offers not only physical training but also mental training. If you are genuinely looking to change your life and your outlook on fitness guided by an amazing trainer who is well-versed on physiology, nutrition, and emotional well-being: definitely take one of her classes. (she will push you tho! fair warning) she's AMAZINGG!

I thank her for pushing me to my limits, both mentally and physically. Sure, sometimes it can be hard to make it to all the classes given our busy schedules, but i actually like the idea that you can make up your classes within a week because that allows for accountability and also checking her other classes out- like yoga can be fun too!.

i loved this professor and her classes so much! she is definitely one of my favorite professors at UCB. she makes you work hard but it feels great and it definitely pays off. she is also fun to talk to and gives really good advice. I also took an online class with her which was just as great as the in-person core&yoga class.

Toni is extremely knowledgeable about yoga and human anatomy. She explains her knowledge well. I have a hard time with many of the poses due to my body type, but she is still understanding when I cannot do some poses. My strength has improved greatly since the start of the class, and I feel more confident in yoga after taking this class.

Toni is genuinely concerned about her students. Taking her yoga morning class twice a week was enough energy to push through the rest of the week; I was tired but felt that I could do better every time. This is my first semester at Cal, and I will keep taking Toni's class until I graduate.

Great yoga instructor, pushed me to show up for myself through these courses. Attendance is mandatory, but there are makeup dates which I appreciated a lot.

I took Toni's core conditioning class, and it was really worthwhile. I learned so much about the human body, and especially about my own body, through our exercises and Toni's explanations. I really appreciated how she would give reasons for why you should or shouldn't do an exercise a certain way, unlike typical instructors.

I've been taking Toni's 7am Vinyasa class for 3 years, and it's the best way to start the day. Toni pushes you to dig deep into poses, strengthening and healing your muscles. Waking up early can be tough, but I always leave feeling energized to take on the day. This has been one of my favorite classes at Berkeley!

I feel so much stronger after taking her class. Toni makes her workouts progressively more difficult, allowing you to build up strength slowly but surely and avoid injury. It won't be easy, but it'll pay off! Toni really cares about her students and wants them to grow stronger and healthier.

She's a good instructor and the way she leads this exercise class encouraged me to show up for myself. She talks in an uplifting/motivating manner and gives constructive feedback. I like that she pushes us to try even when it's difficult and emphasizes not giving up.

I have been taking Toni's classes for the past 2 years, and she is amazing! Starting my day with her courses has been immensely beneficial for both my physical and mental health. I highly recommend her classes regardless of whether you've never done a core workout or are an athlete - they are accessible, challenging, & rewarding for almost anyone.

Toni Mar is a very kind and caring professor. She really cares about her students and the work that she does. Her yoga vinyasa 2 class and her core/yoga classes are the perfect addition to your schedule as a mindful break from Berkeley stress while staying active. Toni really focuses on making sure her students are using proper form.

Toni is hands down my favorite professor. I have taken her yoga class now three times and it is always a new adventure. She is understanding and motivating. Her class has not only helped me improve my physical health but made me a more mindful and well rounded student.

Toni is a wonderful instructor. She inspires me to show up to class, put in the work, and take of mys

I highly recommend Toni to any student looking to improve their fitness, b

I'd highly recommend any of Toni's classes to anyone looking to get in shape, learn about exercise and body mechanics, and feel inspired. She is thoughtful and very funny - there are always repeat students so I'm one of many who love her classes!

I took her Core and Yoga class to supplement my running as I prepared for the Berkeley Half Marathon. The core portion of the class really helped me build stability to handle all my training earlier in the semester, and the yoga portion was great for stretching out and getting my mind and body synced in the final weeks building up to the race.

Yoga Vinyasa 1 -- Toni is a great instructor who is clear about her expectations and pushes you to do your best! Having yoga twice a week was a great decision for both my mental and physical health.

In Torri's classes, you learn how to take on challenges without hesitation and how to take better care of yourself. She inspires me to look to improve my technique each class and to apply these strategies to problems outside of yoga as well.

Toni is the best!! I've taken one of her classes every semester I've been at Cal and they have helped me IMMENSELY to keep on top of my health, especially in midterm seasons. She cares genuinely about her students, and her 'lectures' during the start of class have helped me a lot mentally in other aspects of my life. I HIGHLY rec her classes!

Toni is a good yoga tutor that pushes you beyond your limit and it is a challenging class that require consistency, but It does make you both physically and mentally stronger, recommend to people who want a good work out and a strong mindset!

Any professor that can keep college students motivated enough to get up at 7 am for running and core is doing things right. Class helped me prep for the Berkeley half marathon!

Toni was a fantastic professor! The class was challenging and attendance was mandatory (with opportunities for makeups at her other classes), but I learned so much about working out with little to no equipment and was pushed by her encouragement and energy during class. She included meditation and stress relief techniques too!

I think the class in some what challenging, but it is up to you to put in the effort. Toni makes it really easy to understand how to get the best stretches out of different yoga positions. Toni makes me want to go to class everytime and I would definitely recommend taking a class from her.

I loved taking core and conditioning with Professor Toni. She pushed us all to our own limits and made it clear that we were investing in our health throughout the weeks that we attended and participated in class. I loved her inspirational messages throughout class.

I enrolled in her 7AM running and core class. Although waking up for it was challenging and the workouts progressively became harder, I always left feeling motivated and inspired! I also appreciated how she made subtle changes to the running routes each time, it never felt repetitive or boring.

I took core and yoga this year because I was looking to reintegrate fitness, specifically yoga, into my life. This class is one of my favorite classes I've ever taken at Berkeley, and I can't wait to carry what I've learned into this course into my future. If I could, I would keep taking classes with Toni. Highly recommend!

I was in her core training course and it was super rewarding. I noticeably got stronger! She's super nice and communicates really quickly. Definitely recommend it if you want to stay / get in shape.

Highly recommend this class if you want scheduled workout time. Toni is a fantastic instructor and is super encouraging while always pushing you

I would highly recommend her classes to increase strength, flexibility, and stress management. The exercises are ones you likely would not choose to do own your own because they are difficult, but you get a solid workout. Her focus on health, wellness, and work ethic are exactly the skills a college student should be reinforcing.

Toni runs a well-thought, effective, and accessible Core + Yoga course that is true to the art form dating back more than 5000 years. In addition to challenging your mind and body, you can expect to learnt the sanskrit word for every pose that you complete.I will be taking another class with her next semester.

This class is not easy but it's very rewarding. I really enjoyed that both the yoga and core portion of this class introduced exercises that I could do at home on my own time. Toni Mar is a great motivator and she genuinely cares about her students well being. I am planning on taking another class of hers during my time here!

I have taken multiple classes with Toni for over a year now, and will continue to take classes with her as there are a myriad of things that I enjoy about her classes. Toni is a very caring, understanding, and motivating instructor, and taking her classes allows you the opportunity to be physically and mentally pushed to new heights!

Excellent experience in Yoga 1.

Supportive and friendly instructor who pushes her students! Attendance is crucial for improvement

Pushes students to their potential and provides inspirational guidance for a healthy mindset to approach both yoga/fitness and life in general.

I've been taking Toni's classes since I was a sophomore, and I'm a senior now! Toni is a one-of-a-kind instructor: very knowledgable, definitely pushes you (in the best way) and creates an environment for mindfulness and meditation. Couldn't recommend her courses highly enough! Just make sure you are prepared to show up every time, twice a week.

Toni has been an exceptional teacher. She's very caring and careful in teaching us the correct techniques to avoid injury. I feel learning from her could make a very positive impact on our life-long health. Highly recommend! (I'm saying she's “easy” not because she teaches easy stuff, but because she's flexible to allow us to adjust accordingly.)

Toni Mar is an amazing professor! She's really encouraging, understanding, and genuinely cares about her students. She pushes you to your limits and challenges you to reach your full potential. I'm currently taking her Core Conditioning class and love it, and I plan on taking another class with her next semester!

Very kind and understanding professor. She really want you to do well and it's a nice get away from all the other stressful classes!

Toni Mar is sure to help you destress from the heavy demands of being a UC Berkeley student and have you leaving class with a smile on your face. She pushes you to be the best you can be. If you need a little extra encouragement or a designated class to keep you honest about hitting the gym, then Toni Mar's class is the class to take.

Great professor that shows passion and care for her students and wellbeing.

I really had such a great time in the Core&Yoga class and Core&Conditioning class. It is my last semester at Cal and I will say it is one of the best two classes I have ever taken at Cal and I am so grateful that I got to do this PE class. It really has strengthened me so much since my injury back in January and Toni is so fun and passionate!

The vinyasa class was great, you even have the possibility of doing it remotely, and whenever you want if you can't attend it. She is really understanding and will give you great feedback to improve yourself.

As a concurrent student in Berkeley I have to say that Toni's yoga class is one of the most beneficial and unforgettable experience here. It is the best yoga class I have ever had before and I learn so much things that both good for my mental and physical health! It served as a lovely and relaxing start for my day. Highly recommended!!

I took Toni's online, asynchronous Vinyasa course and it was awesome! She really helps you develop a solid understanding of basic and intermediate yoga poses and sequences, along with how to modify them for more challenging stretches. I feel so much more aware of how my body moves now and what my limits are. I would definitely recommend!

very kind and responsive professor. would love to take this class again

Unfortunately, I had to drop the class prior to its completion as I received a series of injuries that made participating difficult. However, Professor Mar was extremely accommodating and communicative with me during this time. Her workouts are phenomenal, and gradually build your endurance! She is awesome! I am def gonna take her againonce healed!

I highly recommend Toni Mar's Yoga-Vinyasa - All Levels class. It was hard getting out of my comfort zone, but I'm so glad that I did. I'm much stronger, calmer, and flexible. I'll definitely take this class again.

Ms. Mar is great. The convenience of being able to take the vinyasa yoga class online allowed me to take a class I likely would not have had time for. The class is definitely physically challenging at times, but very manageable in terms of time commitment and effort. Ms. Mar gives helpful feedback, is encouraging, and positive. Great class.

Toni is the kind of instructor who challenges you and expects you to meet the challenge head-on. If you're serious about improving your strength, flexibility, and overall fitness, take a class with Toni and show up consistently, and you'll see significant results in just a few weeks. Great teacher, highly recommend.

Super great class to take throughout the semester! She's very understanding and flexible with makeups, which is really helpful when it comes to busy times with midterms during the semester.

Toni is the best! The whole class was a great experience- Toni teaches you how to properly do yoga poses and emphasizes what body parts you should be focusing on. She is also super understanding and lets students go at their own pace, but also knows when to push you. Her words are always inspiring. I cannot recommend this class or Toni enough!

I enjoyed Professor Mar's class a lot – she helped me explore the world of yoga even though I was nervous about my flexibility and strength. This was my first time doing yoga, but I walked out with a much stronger mindset and now feel more open-minded as a whole. I hope to continue practicing yoga in some form and I highly recommend the class!!

Toni puts so much effort into her classes and to make sure we all have the best experience in PE and overall well-being even outside of class. She gives really clear instructions during the class, and even sends out helpful materials on bCourses for how to live healthier lives. She also keeps the gym clean for us :) We love Toni!!

Toni is an incredibly passionate professor, and it shows in the classroom. Her lectures have been helpful in both my academic and daily life, and they are easy to follow. She is extremely accommodating, and really values her students. Would definitely recommend taking her!

Went from barely able to touch my toes to holding a headstand all within the semester! Professor Mar challenges you in her class, but it's for our personal growth and it's all worth it.

Toni is one of the most passionate, intentional, and compassionate instructors I've encountered at UC Berkeley. She creates a space where students feel seen and supported, consistently checking in and making sure everyone is emotionally and mentally present. While the course may initially seem intuitive, it led to such meaningful personal growth.

Best yoga teacher and mentor in general. Teaches how to: live a better life longterm, improve current academics with strategies to cope with stress, time management, being more positive. Intensive and I can tell she has been doing this for decades. Doesn't force. No homework. A truly passionate instructor. Will be taking again, love her energy.

Toni is super chill and fun. I took her Mindfulness & Stress Management class online, which already is an easy A but she made it more fun than just watching lecture videos. Communicate any issues & you will be good to go!

Toni's explanations and training help you achieve poses and strengthen your body and mind for improved stability, strength, and balance. By the end of the class, I was able to perform poses I couldn't even start at the beginning of the semester. I would highly consider taking her course if you are open to learning new things about your body!

Toni taught me yoga for two consecutive semesters. She speaks with clarity, and her funky, positive personality shines through -- making each class an uplifting and enjoyable experience. She also takes the time to explain what we're doing with our bodies and how it benefits us, which really motivated me to keep practicing.

Professor Toni's Vinyasa Yoga class was an amazing way to get exposed to Yoga for me. It was a great blend of educational, strengthening, and fun. If you put in a little bit of effort you will learn a lot and feel great! Definitely take this class.

I took Core and Yoga with Toni Mar, and it truly changed my mindset and physical strength. The class pushes you in the best way, helping you grow beyond your limits. The yoga portion helped me stay grounded during stressful weeks. I highly recommend it for both body and mind.

I took the online yoga class and it was a lot of fun. Attendance was important and every missed class needed to be made up with a discussion post or video. It was fun to learn yoga and sometimes poses were challenging but she would give good feedback on how to improve and she would encourage us to try our best. She always had a positive attitude.

I wish I took Toni's classes earlier! Great PE classes, really toughens you up and will get you into shape!

Professor Mar is a wonderful instructor. She teaches yoga poses with clarity, while also being very encouraging and motivational. I was astonished by the progress I made while in her class, and it was the best introduction to yoga that I could've had. Highly recommend taking one of her classes!

Toni Mar is amazing, and she brings so much positivity to her classes! I've learned so much in just a few classes, would recommend to any student to help you with body mindfulness throughout the semester.

I can't imagine getting through the challenges of Cal without Toni's class. Yoga has become a core part of my wellness practice and in addition to keeping me physically fit, it has made me a more patient, aware, calm, and engaged person. Can't recommend her class enough.

I love how she mixes in jokes, gratitude, stress relief, names of poses in Sanskrit, and small challenges during every class. I highly recommend taking one of her yoga classes they're such a great way to start the day!

Toni is clear, helpful, kind, and caring. I took both yoga and mindfulness and both changed my life for the better. Toni's yoga class teaches how to live better, handle adversity, and get to know YOUR body. I can't recommend these classes more highly to help you manage the struggles of student life no matter what you are going through! Take them!

it wasn't until I took Toni's class that I truly learned how to do yoga properly. She walks you through every pose with great description and visualization. I have never been a particularly flexible person and while I struggled with more complex poses this class really taught me how to embrace my balance and more importantly build core

Taking any class with Toni is the right choice. It will greatly improve your semester.

She is really kind and knowledgeable! The class was a fun experience and you can make up videos within 7 days for the online class.

Toni Mar creates a space for her students to set aside time for themselves in their busy schedules. She sets expectations early and provides opportunities to make up class if needed. Her instructions during class are clear. I will use the lessons (as well as exercises) learned in this class for years to come! Highly recommend!

I've taken Core and Yoga with Toni twice now and I love her so much. I struggle with anxiety and her class is just what I need as a break between classes. She cares a lot about her students and is super understanding in all aspects. Also has a super cute dog!
