“My studies and practice of hatha yoga began in the late 1990’s during a particular ‘dry spell’ in my Buddhist Kagyu ngondro period. I felt stuck and sensed that my challenges might reside in my physical body, including my ideas about body/mind. I have had the great fortune of studying under excellent dedicated and well trained teachers. I completed a two year teacher training in Montreal in the early 2000’s. Currently I continue practice and study with yoga and Buddhist teachers. I invite you to join in a space of shared ‘well-being’ where everyone can experience their authentic selves. As in all teachings, you are always the ‘boss’ of you, I will be a guide." - Heather
