This embodiment and trauma-sensitive yoga class focuses on reclaiming a sense of safety and agency in the body through movement and breath, while acknowledging the impact of trauma on the nervous system. It encourages mindful exploration of sensations, breath, and movement, promoting self-awareness and self-regulation. The class emphasizes choice and agency, allowing participants to interact with yoga forms in a way that feels safe and comfortable, fostering a deeper connection to their bodies.
Heather has been practicing yoga since 2000. Her first class was through her college where she quickly became fascinated with all the components of yoga, (particularly Ayurveda and self-study), and it has been her life’s work to share this passion with others. Over the past two decades she has practiced with many different teachers, mostly through Heartsong Yoga Center and Kripalu Yoga Center, and she loves incorporating what she learns into her teaching. Heather is a 200-hour graduate of Hard & Soft Yoga, Heart of Heartsong, Power of Flow Integrative Yoga Teacher Training with Sheila Magalhaes at Heartsong Yoga. Heather has been an educator in the field of Early Childhood Education and Learning & Development for Adult Learners for twenty years and incorporates the benefits of yoga into her teaching both in the classroom and on the mat. Her mission is to create a space that allows all beings to feel grace and self-awareness, and that she creates an environment where people can heal and transform at their own pace. She finds so much inspiration from her 94-year-old grandmother (who continues to practice yoga twice a week!) and her 13-year-old daughter (who has been doing yoga since she was six months old!) Heather’s favorite place to do yoga is on the Red Rocks of Sedona, AZ, and she’s excited to see where her yoga journey takes her.
