WHO AM I?

Hi I’m Heather.

In a former life I was a piano tuner & technician where I spent my days listening to the beats between the notes.

But I was living in stress mode, always on, always running to do the next thing and always taking on way too much and saying “yes” to everyone. I barely gave any time to check in with myself and see how I was really feeling.

It was in this time that I found Kundalini yoga (or it found me!). I fell in love with the chakra system, the movement of prana and the science behind why we do what we do in this practice.

Nowadays I value a slower pace of life and I take much better care of myself than I used to and kundalini yoga is one of the ways that helps me to do that.

HOW I FOUND KUNDALINI YOGA

I first came across Kundalini yoga by accident. I had wanted to get better at meditating and practicing yoga, so my plan was to try a few different styles of yoga, pick my favourite, and really dive into it. I had ordered what I thought was a Hatha yoga DVD – but it turned out to be kundalini yoga.

I tried that DVD, hated it, and said “I’m never doing that again” and left it to one side and forgot all about my quest to study yoga.

A few weeks past and I started to come across snippets of breathwork practices and meditations on social media. I started trying them and loved how they made me feel. I even got a notebook and began writing down what I was learning. It wasn’t until later I realised it was all kundalini yoga!

It was like kundalini yoga was trying to get through to me and it finally had.

WHY I DO THIS?

Kundalini yoga has been a big part of my life for several years, and honestly, I love how it makes me feel – connected, grounded, and more like myself. It’s one of the few things I’ve found that consistently helps me feel better, no matter what’s going on in my life.

What I appreciate most about Kundalini yoga is how practical it is. There’s a practice for pretty much everything – whether you’re stressed, tired, anxious, or just need to reset. It’s not about being perfect or performing. It’s about showing up as you are and connecting back to yourself.

For me, the heart of this work is about healing and connection. I believe those two things are what we all need more of, and they’re what guide my approach to teaching. My goal is to create a space where you can reconnect with yourself, feel supported, and experience those simple, beautiful moments of calm and clarity that this practice can offer.

If this sounds like something you’re looking for, I’d love you to join me.

SOME RANDOM BITS ABOUT ME

Tea or coffee?

I’m a teaholic! That’s the Irishness in me! Favourites are Lyons and French Earl Grey.

My favourite Kundalini practice…

…mmhh… hard to pick just one….but I love Gyan Chakra kriya. I recently did a 120 day practice of this and it was magical.

A hobby I have…

… is being a very amateur photographer. You’ll find a few of my pics below.

I live…

… in Somerset, UK, but I’m originally from Ireland.

When & where did I do my teacher training?

I did my teaching certification with Guru Singh & Brett Larkin in Kundalini University.

One thing I love to do

I love being surrounded by nature. Who doesn’t, right? but it is my absolute favourite go-to for resetting my nervous system. I love hiking in Dorset.

I have a pet cat

He’s a very sweet ginger cat called Whisky (a mommy’s boy!). He’s almost 6 and I have him since he was a cute little baby. He’s still cute! You’ll see him pop into class sometimes.

Another thing I love to do

I love to travel. Visiting new places is awesome. I have lived in 3 countries, not including the one I’m from! I would like to travel more in the future and I definitely want to move back to Greece someday.
