Heidi's Bio:
Heidi holds E-RYT 500 with the Yoga Alliance and has over 1000 hrs of supplemental training in Yin, Anatomy and Biomechanics, Vinyasa, Meditation, and Philosophy. She studied Landscape Architecture at University of British Columbia. She currently resides in Tofino, BC, unceded territory of Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, where she teaches yoga, music, practices Landscape Architecture and lives within the cultural intersections of the Tla-o-qui-aht, the stateless, the Jejuan diaspora, Zainichi Koreans, and the inter generational effects of war, genocide and assimilation. At Coastal Bliss Yoga, Tofino, she teaches Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, Yin, Nidra, Foundations and 55 or Better Chair Yoga. leads the 200 hour Teacher Training program and curates the continuing education programs.
She aims to uplift the bodies and souls that are under-represented in yoga spaces by shifting the teacher’s centre and building the language of intersectionality. Because Heidi believes that each living being holds a unique resonance that expresses individual sound, harmony and rhythm, she honours this diversity and grounds the differences in each body’s ranges of movement and learning approaches.
“55 or Better Chair Yoga is Advanced Yoga. It is Power, it is Hatha, Vinyasa, it is meditation….it is yoga practised by elders, the wisest of individuals who have been graced with age and experience.”​
“I loved the sections on anatomy with Rebekka so much more than I thought I would, giving me new rituals and practices to try at home. I absolutely loved Natalie's storytelling abilities. I loved Jacky's section on Ayurveda and the Doshas. And I loved Heidi's section on cultural appropriation & new-age spirituality, giving me so much to reflect upon.”
