Heather Boyer is a certified Yoga and Pilates teacher, with over 1000 hours of yoga and movement training. She has also been a practicing Registered Massage Therapist since 2007. Her study of Myofascial Anatomy and understanding of Tensegrity has brought her to explore how yoga and somatic movement practices can help to maintain health and facilitate the healing process. Heather supports people to connect to their body for healing, relaxation, and building of functional movement patterns that create more strength, ease, and fluidity. Her teaching explores the body somatically through guided relaxation and fluid expressive movement connecting with breath and core. She believes that when we feel stable, fluid, and open in our body that this spreads out into our lives, and in our connections with others, allowing us to be more rooted in our truths, and connected to the wisdom of love that exists in our hearts.
Somatic Yoga Flow
Explore the body somatically through movement breath and sound. Learn somatic release breaths and discover how sound vibration opens and moves energy through the body. Cultivate awareness of pelvic floor, core muscles, and midline connections, while observing the sensations and feelings arising within the body, as we move through a gentle yoga flow practice that aims to settle and strengthen the nervous system. When we are settled and connected to our center, it helps us to open our heart, connect with others, and build on our capacity to feel and express our love, passion, creativity, and purpose.
