HEATHER
Restorative Aerial Yoga & Silks Teacher
For as long as she can remember, Heather has had her head in the clouds dreaming of taking flight. Since discovering aerial yoga in 2012, Heather has taken every chance to lift off—skydiving, parasailing, cliff jumping, aerial dancing, and of course, flowing in the silks.
​
Soon after joining the Elevate community, Heather completed the 50-hr Aerial Silks teacher training program with friend, and mentor, Jess Ferguson. She was then inspired to deepen her own practice through the Restorative Aerial Yoga teacher training led by Elevate’s incredible and amazing co-owner Amber Lopez.
​
Heather started dancing at 4, theater at 10 and professionally performing at 16. As an award-winning artist with a BA in Theater Arts (Arizona State University) and continued advanced training from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (LA), Alvin Ailey (NYC), Pan Choreographic Theater (Paris), Heather brings creativity, movement expertise, and a playful, open-hearted vibe to her classes.
​Beyond the hammock, Heather’s a 5th Generation Reiki Master and certified in a range of energetic healing modalities including Cranial Sacral Therapy, Reflexology, Chakra Attunement, Qi Gong, Breathwork and Guided Meditation blending mind, body, and spirit into each session. She is passionate about spreading Mindfulness and Self Care through the exploration and artistry of movement.

Expect a class full of encouragement, connection, uplifting energy, and of course, always ending with a deep sense of calm in a well earned savasana.
