Heather loves the combination of vinyasa flow blended with focused alignment that honors the lineages of the Iyengar and Ashtanga systems. As a devoted mother of two, Heather understands deeply that a yoga practice, including meditation and pranayama, will offer a steady source of strength that is beneficial on and off the mat. She offers these tools to empower her students, as she provides the space for them to move deeper into their own inner wisdom. Heather’s vision of cultivating inner connection as well as community infuses her teaching with compassion and optimism that uplifts her students. She encourages students to daringly dance between exploring boundaries and appreciating the joy of the present moment, as it is.While physical expression has been a lifelong interest, Heather ultimately found the most satisfying outlet to be her yoga practice, which became a deep focus after the unexpected home birth of her second child in 2012. Heather is a Yoga Alliance RYT-500 and, inspired to provide the opportunity for others to connect to inner strength and nurturing energy during pregnancy and motherhood, she became an R-PYT (Yoga Alliance certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher) and certified Ma Yoga® Instructor in 2021. A lifelong student, Heather is dedicated to ongoing education, deepening her own practice, and expanding her teaching through regular workshops and trainings delving deeper into areas such as the subtle (energetic) body, alignment, and meditation.
