Heather Sullivan

She first came to yoga in her twenties, but nothing truly resonated until she discovered Ashtanga Yoga. She fell in love with the meditative qualities and structure of the Mysore style method, cultivating a daily practice that continues to provide ongoing self-discovery and transformation.Heather completed her 200-hour teacher training with Akasha Ellis and began teaching shortly after. She continued her studies with Tim Miller in Encinitas, CA, completing a 100-hour Primary Series Teacher Training and making regular trips to study with him over two years, an experience she considers invaluable. Over the past 10 years, Heather has taught in the Mysore room and also worked with those seeking support in their recovery from eating disorders and substance use disorder.Heather is drawn to the Mysore method because it individualizes the practice and centers each student’s needs, promoting discernment and agency. Her teaching honors the discipline of the practice while remaining down-to-earth and approachable. She believes in meeting students where they are, encouraging steady effort over perfection, and creating space for genuine connection—both on and off the mat.“My goal is to provide an open and inviting space where the practice of yoga itself can be the teacher. Through my practice, I’ve gained a more loving and compassionate attitude toward myself and others, and I look forward to seeing what the practice uncovers for you.”
