With her extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, she creates an experience that is both empowering and transformative for her students.

Just a Few of Our YTT Graduates

I met Heather almost 2 years ago during my 200-hour yoga teacher training interview. At that point, fibromyalgia and long Covid had basically taken over my life. I lived in near constant pain and carried the fear of triggering more pain. I signed up for yoga teacher training because i felt I owed myself the chance to feel better. I cannot put into words what I actually received.

Now, just over a year later, I've finished my 200-hour certification and am working on my 500-hour certification. I've only had a few flare-ups in that time and can now pinpoint their causes...my body is stronger than it's ever been. This means that I can be there for my family in ways I hadn't been for a couple of years. That in itself, is HUGE.

Heather has been such a constant throughout my journey, as difficult and frustrating as it often is. Support and advice she gives endlessly, and I am beyond grateful for her wisdom and heart. I cannot express how hopeful I am for the journey to come, all thanks to her mentorship.

OmBodies YTT Graduate

I am so happy and grateful to complete my 200 hour and 300 hour training with Ombodies. The quality of the program is phenomenal. I have learned so much about philosophy, anatomy, teaching techniques, and so much more. I will forever recommend this school to anyone interested in yoga teacher training!

Gabi
OmBodies YTT & AYTT Graduate

I feel very fortunate to have found the OmBodies program. The program is designed for the students to succeed. As a working parent, the hybrid program was perfect for me, but I truly loved the in-person weekends. It worked for me because I was able to review the materials before the in-person weekends and then was able to really understand and apply the information. Heather's knowledge of the physical body is impressive. What sets her program apart is her ability to break down what you need to know in ways that you will understand and remember. The initial focus is on the physical body and training your eyes to see the alignment.

This in-depth training of anatomy gives you the tools to lead a class safely and with confidence. There is a lot to learn and my brain was overloaded for months, but this is a great 200 hr program and I would recommend it to anyone.

Jackie
OmBodies YTT Graduate

Heather's studio and YTT feel like a gift in our local small town. Heather is very knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. Upon completing my YTT I feel confident to teach a well thought out, balanced and safe class. I highly recommend Heather and OmBodies Yoga Teacher Training!

Emma
OmBodies YTT Graduate

"If you’re serious about teaching yoga, OmBodies is the way to go. I went into my 200-hour teacher training thinking I had a good grip on the practice, but Heather expanded my mind into brand new directions. Her attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of the training - I left with more anatomy knowledge than I ever thought possible and a deeper respect for the history and philosophy of the practice. One of the best parts about her 200-hour program: you leave with several hours of teaching already under your belt. Meaning, you feel more prepared to spread your wings and build classes after graduation! OmBodies doesn’t just teach you the basics, she helps you become a life-long learner.

Because of her training, I am able to think critically while researching yoga topics and I am better prepared to analyze asana and modify for different student populations. I’m continuing my yoga education with OmBodies’ advanced teacher training program, and I’m finding the same of level dedication. OmBodies Yoga Teacher Training is top-notch and geared toward serious yoga teachers and practitioners!"

Jenn
OmBodies YTT Graduate

"After researching many different training schools in Michigan I realized there was a huge difference between being a certified yoga teacher and a registered yoga teacher. I wanted to explore the deeper understanding of the yoga practice under the watchful eye of a passionate and wise teacher; that’s something that you can’t get online where there are a plethora of sites claiming to offer certifications in yoga. With the help of Yoga Alliance I found OmBodies Yoga Studio this is where my chapter started with Heather. I had never met anyone that was so passionate about the anatomy and alignment of Yoga.

Do you know anyone that exudes excitement when they talk about fascia? I do now and knew little about it until my training began with Heather. Her credentials speak for themselves! She is always exploring the new and creative and is continuously working to further her education so she can offer the very best to her students. My practice has become so much more connected through the study of alignment, anatomy, the art of sequencing and the importance of cueing as a yoga teacher. I am so glad I invested in this teacher training with an ethical, wise, and knowledgeable teacher who yearns to see people strive and grow."
