heather ma yoga

yoga became an integral part of my spiritual practice when I began questioning the faith of my childhood.

A practice of yoga rooted in curiosity and exploration opens opportunities to heal from trauma and unexamined self-limiting beliefs. Self-compassion is the key to any healing, and the wisdom of a yoga instructor can help facilitate this process through your physical practice.

Since falling in love with the practice of yoga, I have been certified and registered as a yoga teacher at the 200 hr level, have 150+ hours of training since then, specializing in:

  • self-awareness through embodiment

  • breath work linked with movement

  • tantric philosophy

  • accessible yoga for all bodies (including chair and prenatal yoga)

I have taught hundreds of hours of classes in a variety of settings. The feedback I receive most often from my students? “I have learned so much about myself from your class!”

Your body is a bridge to re-connecting with yourself and finding peace.

Private yoga sessions might be right for you if you:

  • find it challenging to connect fully with your physical body in a group class setting

  • wish you could get personalized alignment adjustments from your yoga instructor to deepen your physical practice

  • have lingering questions or experience pain after a practice

  • have particular goals for your body that you would like to work towards

  • want a personalized practice and more focused attention due to a disability, injury, or other particular physical obstacle

  • are recovering from religious, psychological, or physical trauma

  • experience chronic pain

  • work as part of a team and you would like to deepen your ability to collaborate and cooperate

  • and a few friends would like to practice regularly together in one of your homes

I work with individual and small groups on a sliding scale. If you would like to learn more about what private yoga has to offer you or your group, please introduce yourself using the form on this page.
