Meet Heather: Children's Yoga Teacher at BEAM ACADEMY

Hello my name is Heather and I discovered yoga around 10 years ago, around this time I found myself exhausted and struggling as  a single parent raising my 3 wonderful children, busy  juggling work and  family commitments often left me feeling out of balance, I soon found through regular practice a sense of calmness and clarity in my mind, along with a combination of strength, balance and flexibility in my body, I have been hooked ever since, and now my 3 children are teenage yogis with me,
I have worked with children for over 15 years teaching swimming at water babies, alongside studying to be a child  counsellor,

I am passionate about children’s health and wellbeing and feel privileged to be able to teach children yoga to help with their physical and mental health, alongside having lots of fun.

My favourite yoga pose is a headstand because this was a real challenge for me to master, but once I got up I found I didn’t want to come down, I also find it very calming for the mind.
