Linda GribkoOctober 13, 2014 I met Heidi almost 3 years ago (if my math is correct) as a private yoga client. I had reached out to the local yoga studio recommended to me for a private yoga instructor and received 3 responses. Two of the teachers were friendly and interested, but Heidi was completely engaged with my request and offered a wonderful and inviting overview of the type of practice I might enjoy with her.
Of course, I picked Heidi and every private session I've had with her has been absolutely wonderful and inviting. As a private instructor, she is very thorough and has a practice outlined with a handout or other materials for me every time we meet. That being said, her practices are not rigid--she will modify at any time based on her intuitive feel of what I need or on my feedback. I also have some joint and back issues that make some yoga poses difficult, and Heidi has absolutely shone in terms of her willingness and ability to help me modify the poses or incorporate props. Very much appreciated as I started my yoga practice because I felt I was physically on the sidelines and to have to sit through poses would have been discouraging. I've also taken many of Heidi's group classes. Her restorative classes are FANTASTIC!!! The poses are wonderful, the sequencing is great, Heidi is very helpful with the props (making sure everyone is cozy), and she adds such wonderfully prepared quotes, insights, meditations, and mantras to the practice. Her voice is so soothing! Her more active classes are really just faster-paced extensions of the same, with each class having an engaging theme and a spiritual context that is there but never overwhelming or preachy--just very comforting and inspiring. If you'd like to spend an hour in pure love getting either a sweat or some relaxation on, check out Heidi's classes or private yoga services. And if you think you have limitations, she'll quickly have you amazed at all the things you CAN do, just in a different way.
September 25, 2014 Heidi is a teacher who takes a very balanced approach with an even blend of demonstrations and explanations. She has a gentle spirit with a great sense of humor that she uses to keep the class light-hearted while still grounded. I love her creative flows for pregnant yogi mamas. They are always just what I needed. :)
September 24, 2014 Heidi is a perfect yoga instructor. She has a soothing voice and is very detailed with explanations and demonstrations. I always look forward to Heidi's class because she is focused and very spiritual.
September 19, 2014 Heidi enriched my pregnancies with her weekly prenatal classes. We practiced how to breath, improve back pain and most importantly, connect with my baby. She is wonderful.
September 18, 2014 Heidi is a wonderful instructor. She makes every student feel comfortable regardless of their experience. Those who are new she will provide more feedback/instruction, but will encourage others to reach new limits. At the end of her class, I feel I have achieved my goals and am relaxed and peaceful. She's truly a gifted teacher.
September 18, 2014 Heidi teaches a fabulous prenatal yoga class, which is the perfect balance of serenity, peace and practice. I don't feel like I am just on the mat stretching for an hour, but never feel like I am being pushed. Heidi also creates a great space for all mamas to be to socialize and be happy and pregnant together. It is a wonderful part of my week!
September 18, 2014 Heidi is an amazing yogi. My weight was never an issue in any of her classes! She always offers alternative poses. I would have never gotten through my daughter's birth if not for Heidi's birthing class and prenatal yoga. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful practitioner in my life.
