Heather is devoted to the restoration of the body's ability to heal itself, through The Feldenkrais Method®, restorative yoga, through mindfulness, as well as through honoring the intuition and experience of each individual. She incorporated Yoga and Awareness Through Movement(TM) into her life as part of her development of strength and stability after multiple injuries. Her 35 years of dancing experience, 11 years of Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, and restorative yoga practice, as well as intense work in physical therapy through multiple modalities, inform her understanding of the body and movement mechanics.
Her journey to healing has led her to seek a mindful approach to moving—an approach based on body-awareness, compassion, intentionality, expressiveness, and fun. Her formal training as an educator gives her a deep understanding for how the brain learns and that, as well as her extensive experiences with physical therapy, Feldenkrais, and yoga, informs how she structures classes and private lessons.
