"I’m pregnant with twins and have been struggling to keep moving my body in a way that still feels good. Heather’s classes helped so much! Her cues are super easy to follow, she gives great modifications and is just an overall wonderful instructor with a very calming presence. I’ve done yoga for years with many different instructors and I can’t recommend Heather’s classes enough! She’s definitely very talented and so knowledgeable (how often is your yoga instructor also an amazing physiotherapist?!). Plus you get to see her cute kitty join in some times too!" - MBW
"I participated in one of Heather’s previous online prenatal groups. I highly recommend taking this opportunity to invest in yourself and your baby. The online option made the timing flexible and allowed my toddler to participate too. I found I needed the class to make me accountable for actually doing yoga not just thinking about doing yoga lol
I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated after every session. Thanks so much Heather" - THG
"Heather has a warm, gentle and welcoming approach to the work that she does. I found it extremely helpful to have a yoga teacher who is also a physiotherapist as she displays an intimate knowledge of the body's anatomy. I love the variety she includes through movement, meditation and questions that create both a physical and an emotional connection to the practice. I would highly recommend Heather for anyone seeking an attuned and heartfelt yoga or mindfulness practice." - Chrissie T of Connect with Chrissie Coaching
"I have been doing yoga since I was a child and have had long stretches of time when I was not regularly practising. I found the pandemic to be hard on my yoga practise and took over a year off regular yoga. I tried doing my own thing and various online one-off videos, which never resonated for me. I joined Heathers fall series this year and found it to be the perfect structure for me. With the inconsistencies with government regulations, I needed something consistent and grounding. Heather's series encouraged me to create a space in my home for my practise and I feel like I have the best yoga view in the world now. I have found space within myself to accept that maybe my practise won't be perfect without someone in front of me watching and correcting me, but that is OK. Yoga is NOT about doing a pose perfectly, and I needed to learn this. I highly recommend Heather's virtual yoga for her spoken words, her important alignment cues, and the soft, gentle energy that anyone and everyone deserves right now. If you have been hard on yourself, feel disconnected from your body, feel stiff and stagnant, or are craving yoga for any other reason - you will thank yourself for signing up for Heather's yoga." - AF
"Heather, thank you so much for this 8 week yoga session! It gave me something to show up for every Monday, when we all know it’s a tough day of the week already. It boosted my mood and energized me for the rest of the day! At present I’m struggling with a knee injury that has limited me with many of my daily activities. This yoga series has given my mind and body the care it needed, as well as my knee that extra push to continue on the path to recovery. If anyone is searching for a wonderful instructor look no further! Heather was so considerate checking in with me to see how my knee faired with the class as well as adapting to my needs with alternate poses. Her love of yoga and body health resonates in her practice." - FS
