A consistent yoga practice began for Heather when a student who needed lots of extra support, academically and emotionally, was transferred to her 5th grade class. With the increased workload, Heather wanted a way to practice self care and found yoga. Heather has now been practicing yoga for over 6 years.

​

Heather has a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from East Carolina University. She completed her 95 hour Grounded Kids yoga teacher training in 2020.

​

Heather likes to spend her time traveling, hiking, biking, doing yoga, and reading. Football is a family passion, and you’ll find her cheering on the ASU Mountaineers on Saturdays and the Carolina Panthers on Sundays. Heather previously worked as an AIG Facilitator and as a 4th and 5th grade teacher. She now stays home with her son.

​

Heather lives in Charlotte with her husband, Jeremy, and their son, Owen. They have two dogs of their own and foster for the Greater Charlotte SPCA.
