“Heidi’s classes are the highlight of my week.  Her flows are beautifully crafted and I leave feeling equally calm and energized.  She creates clarity, beauty and spreads joy. It’s impossible to take a class with her and not feel better about yourself and the world. My body and breath always thank me for showing up.”
