About Heather

Heather discovered yoga in her final year of college in 2007. Shortly after earning her BA in Psychology, she made her first trip to Mysore, India in 2008 to study at the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. Since then, she returned regularly to practice under her teacher R. Sharath Jois and had the honor of assisting him at the shala. In 2012, she received Authorization from KPJAYI (now Sharath Yoga Centre).

Over the years, Heather has developed and led three Mysore programs in Florida. She has also taught internationally across Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Cyprus, Turkey, Lebanon, the Netherlands, and throughout the United States.

After years of extensive travel and global teaching, Heather is thrilled to be rooted back home in Florida. She currently leads the Mysore Tampa Bay program at Yoga Village in Clearwater, Florida.

Heather offers in-person and virtual classes, including Mysore-style Ashtanga, Pranayama/Breathwork, meditation, and private sessions. She also continues to lead yearly retreats and workshops around the world.

Known for her deep love of the practice, Heather teaches in a safe, gentle yet steady way that meets each student where they are. Her approach supports personal growth and self-discovery, and she feels deeply honored to share this traditional lineage that was passed down through Guruji K. Pattabhi Jois and Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois.
