Yoga, Meditation & Healing with Heather

Introduction: Heather Honstein is a Yoga Teacher living in Washington, D.C. with a dedicated classical yoga practice that includes spiritual discourse, chanting mantra, pranayama, meditation, relaxation and asana postures to open the body and mind. The roots of her practice reside in the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra and the Jivamukti Method of Yoga. In 2013 she completed the Life of a Yogi 500 hour Advanced Teacher Training with Sri Dharma. She recently returned from several months in India where she completed the first ever Jivamukti Yoga 300 hour Teacher Training to be hosted in India. There she studied directly under Sharon Gannon and David Life, with the guidance of Lady Ruth, and Jules Febres who facilitated this life-changing immersion. Residing in an ISKCON Ashram under the direction of Radhanath Swami, she considers this time immersed in the yogic way of life to be invaluable on her path of realization and sharing these practices with others. In 2013-2014 she was Executive Director of the non-profit Yoga Activist where she coordinated outreach yoga classes in under served yoga communities, leading Trauma Sensitive Yoga teacher trainings as well. Heather also teaches Restorative Yoga and Trauma Sensitive Yoga, incorporating these principles of relaxation and sensitivity into her studio classes. In addition to studio classes, Heather also assists with the Yoga District Teacher Trainings, sharing the wisdom of her teachers with aspiring Yoga Teachers. With tremendous gratitude and humility Heather considers herself a perpetual student of this practice, experimenting with old and new styles of yoga sequencing and meditation techniques. Heather welcomes students of all levels and walks of life to take part in a practice inspired by her teachers that is both steady (sthira) and joyful (sukham). Come worship in the temple of your own body and be receptive to the limitless knowledge already contained within in your heart and soul. Namaste.
