Heather Shaw

Heather Shaw offers vinyasa yoga deeply rooted in her own experience of the flow. Her classes ride the rhythm of the breath to find flexibility in body and mind, blending fluid movement with careful attention to alignment. Heather’s yoga practice began in the early Nineties as a misadventure from her life as a dancer, but it was only a matter of time until she realized that yoga is the dance and has happily been standing on her head ever since. A “Bhakti” (devotional) yogi at the core, Heather is grateful for the wisdom of her own teachers, and has humbly served as a member of OM yoga center’s teacher training faculty, a “river guide and cosmic stewardess” (aka: assistant) to Shiva Rea, as well as devoted student of Iyengar instructor Genny Kapuler. In this lineage however, Heather’s most influential teacher continues to be her son Campbell, who reminds her daily that true strength comes from an open heart and flexible mind.
