What students are saying:
"I researched extensively before I committed to a Yoga Teacher Training and ultimately I chose Heather’s Harmony Yoga School program because of her strong foundation in the Art of Teaching and her skill at connecting with your students. I am SO happy I did!
Heather is highly intuitive. She easily met the flow and desires of the class which I really appreciated. Heather is a very experienced, knowledgeable and professional Yoga Teacher who went above and beyond the Yoga Alliance requirements and taught us so much about healthy movement and the Anatomy of Yoga - how to keep our students healthy and safe.
The highlights for me were the Asana Lab and the Teaching Practicum. The final week I taught 6 unique full-length classes which was ample time to find my rhythm, play with different ideas and really leave feeling like “I got this”.
I am SO grateful for Heather for sharing her extensive knowledge in the Art and Business of Teaching Yoga. She has created a very comprehensive program that is totally digestible. I felt super confidant teaching right after our last day.
Thank your SO much Heather!"
Emily
"This training retreat has been truly wonderful! It offered a much needed opportunity to be inspired, reflect on what I really want from this life, connect deeply with myself and others on the retreat, and have a ton of fun. We did sunrise and sunset yoga, and meditation twice per day, standup paddle boarding, ate awesome food, and worked with some powerful tools to tune into what we value most in life. To clarify our natural gifts, what we desire, and how to combine all that into an actionable plan to make it a reality.
So boom life, I'm coming at you strong and full force with a ton of intention and focus. I feel so blessed to have come on this amazing retreat because it aligned perfectly with my intentions for the upcoming year. I am here to deepen my journey of self-love, gain insight into my gifts and life purpose, and heal any life scars so that I can share more love and passion with the world."
Dan
"If you want a life-changing experience that will help you transform into the person you want to be, you must do a training retreat with Heather! It was one of the best decisions I've made to help me find clarity and a deep sense of purpose in my life. Not only did I have time of my life but I feel transformed from the experience and am so grateful to Heather for being so present, grounded, knowledgeable and fun! The entire retreat structure was prefect and the workbook exercises and group discussions helped me to have a clearer picture of my life and where I'd like to see it going. Collaborating and sharing with likeminded people in the group was inspiring, uplifting and very helpful"
Adrianne
“After this training I feel excited and inspired; like I am finally tapping into my true self and my sense of passion and purpose! I have so much clarity on what I want to create and most importantly how to get there. On the retreat it was so inspiring to share ideas with smart and likeminded people and to brainstorm and mastermind together. This helped my ideas feel real and it brought them to life. I feel SO ready to make positive changes for my future and I love that I now have the perspective, the clarity, the confidence and the tools to turn my dreams into reality!”
