INSTRUCTORS

Abbey grew up on a farm in northern Minnesota and always loved being active. In 2004, she moved to Vail and became an avid skier, cyclist, and general outdoor enthusiast. She practices yoga and has done barre classes for many years. She took her first Tonic class when she was 6 months pregnant and immediately knew it is what her body needed, even though she modified the majority of class. Over the last year of practicing Tonic postpartum, she feels stronger in her body than she has ever been before. She loves that every class is different, it is a true mental and physical challenge every single time, and all the movements support ideal posture outside the studio as we move through life. She loves the community and pushing clients for find their edge every class.

Becca fell in love with traditional Pilates when using it to rehab her body after a ski accident in her teens.  She has been teaching Pilates since 2008, along with yoga, personal training, and nutritional coaching.  Becca was introduced to Tonic at a time when her teaching and personal workouts were feeling stale, Tonic has brought energy, strength, and passion to all areas of her life, which she is excited to share in every class.  Becca sees Tonic as the best combination of the Pilates Principles and total body transformation.

Growing up, Angelica excelled in many sports including track & field, golf, basketball, and, most fervently, soccer. After a serious knee injury playing soccer in college, her approach to health and fitness became more focused on longevity, taking a greater interest in yoga, surfing, hiking, and swimming. In December 2018, she took her first Tonic Method class and was instantly hooked, she loves that no matter how many classes you take, it’s always hard and you’ll always be sore. Tonic’s focus on core strength, deliberate movements, and breath work all aim to promote longevity and this method has proved to be an essential part of her fitness regimen since joining the studio. As an instructor, she enjoys challenging clients to push past their perceived limits and leave the studio feeling stronger after every class.

Liz has been in Aspen for over a decade and truly embraces the Aspen idea of the mind, body, spirit connection. An avid hiker and yogi, she was first introduced to Tonic Method just a few months after it opened in Aspen. Immediately it was clear that this was what was missing from her routine. The strength and toning that Tonic Method introduced was like nothing Liz ever saw from regular yoga classes. Liz truly believes in this method and loves introducing new clients to the Tonic Method!

Fitness has always been a part of Morgan’s life. She grew up doing gymnastics, ballet, cheerleading, and track. She later discovered her love for a variety of workouts as an adult from CrossFit to Cyclebar and now High Intensity Pilates. She remembers going to the gym with her mother as a young child and being taught the importance of health and nutrition. Each person has their own individual fitness journey and it is important to appreciate the changes in your body and learn from every step along the way. She loves helping others reach their goals and watching individuals grow. She feels it is so important to support each other and that energy flows around the room during every class and between clients.
