Joining Heather Yoga beginners class has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Getting back onto my mat after a 25 year absence made me realise how much i had missed Yoga and the happy feelings, feel good endorphins it releases in me.

Plus you’ll receive a brief introduction to the philosophy of the yoga lineage.

About The Teacher
Holger Weiss
In 2022 I graduated from my 8-month Yoga Teacher Training at Heather Yoga. I enjoyed every minute of the training. There was so much to learn and still so much more to understand and explore. Every teacher during the process was so knowledgeable and supportive which helped me to become a confident Yoga teacher. In the process I made friends which will be close to my heart for the rest of my life.
Since I qualified, I have been busy and jumped into the deep end straight away. I teach several Yoga classes a week from Beginners courses, workshops, Yoga for climbers, cross fitters, Yin, beginners Hatha to strong Vinyasa flows. I just love teaching Yoga and bringing the practice to as many students as I can. As a Yoga student my favourite go to classes are Ashtanga, Vinyasa & Yin Yoga classes.
Yoga shows us so many different ways to explore our body and minds. It gives us the ability to take time out for ourselves to recharge our ever so drained batteries from our day to day lives.
You can join Holger for Vinyasa Flow on Mondays 6.45pm
