Heather Thomas

In 2019 Heather received her 200hr RYT, along with her Advanced 500hr RYT certification through Yoga Alliance. Trained in New York City, she received her certification as a Yoga 4 Cancer Instructor in 2019.
She is passionate and energetic about sharing the benefits of yoga while making a difference to the health and well-being of others. She aims to provide students with the ability to quiet their minds and open their hearts while mindfully introducing a yoga practice that is skillful, intelligent, and enjoyable. She focuses on intelligent yoga, which is a practice that is not just physically safe but also conducive to emotional and spiritual growth. She wants them to benefit from the sense of relaxation and stress relief that yoga can provide.
She gracefully weaves a mixed level flow in her teachings. Her classes cover beginner asanas, sun salutations, standing poses, hip openers, twists, back bends, and basic inversions. Her students can build a strong base while gaining flexibility, strength, and stamina. As a teacher, she expresses herself in a way that makes her students feels safe, confident, and accepted exactly as they are. Judgement and self-criticism are left at the door and she strives to create a supportive community that is inclusive and compassionate for all.
Her professional career in clinical research has helped transfer her caring and compassionate attributes from her patients to her students. Her favorite thing to do is to spend quality time with family and friends.
By spreading kindness on and off the mat, she nurtures her students in discovering their abilities to be in tune with their body, mind, and spirit.
