Heather is a certified safe space holder, earning her Y12sr Certification in 2019.

Y12SR “connects the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

The program serves people recovering from all manifestations of addiction, from behavioral addictions to substance abuse – creating a safe place on the mat where trauma can be released. It also supports those who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction.

 

Heather earned her 200 RYT certification in 2015 at a Baptiste inspired program in Knoxville. She quickly fell in love with yoga when she first attended a basic workshop with her mother who had been begging her for years to try yoga with her. Heather is eager to share all the amazing benefits of yoga with her students through Power yoga. She truly believes that yoga is healing in all aspects of life and that it is all about progression not perfection. Heather has found that yoga practice truly brought her out of the dark and saved her life.
