Namaste!  My name is Shanda Heacock and I am a passionate yoga teacher based in North Idaho  With over years of dedicated experience in practicing yoga I have cultivated a profound understanding of many types of yoga including Bikram Vinyasa Yin Restorative Ashtanga and Hatha techniques  My journey began when I started doing Pilates in which quickly morphed into an eclectic yoga practice providing solace and strength through the transformative power of yoga I completed the -hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate in Rishikesh India renowned as the "Yoga Capital of the World"  My training encompassed various aspects of yoga including philosophy anatomy meditation and practical teaching methodologies  I was fortunate to learn from esteemed masters who have deeply influenced my practice and teaching style  My studies in Ashtanga Yoga have provided me with a dynamic and invigorating approach to practice while my training in Hatha Yoga has allowed me to explore the subtleties of breath alignment and mindfulness   As a teacher my approach is rooted in the belief that yoga is for everyone regardless of age ability or fitness level  I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can explore their practice at their own pace  My classes are designed to harmonize the body mind and spirit allowing individuals to cultivate self-awareness strength and flexibility   When you join my classes you can expect a holistic experience combining physical practice and spiritual insights  I emphasize the importance of adapting practices to suit individual needs and I encourage open communication to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported  Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner my goal is to empower you to deepen your practice and discover the joy of yoga.
