MEET HEIDI
As my teacher Pashumati says
“Yoga is not a negation from life, it’s going into life”.
- Yoga is a great tool for living a good life. It brings the dual benefits of strength and relaxation in body and mind.
- After a snowboarding accident on Whistler Mountain, Canada, in 2010, it wasn't until I started attending Jivamukti Yoga that I realised I had PTSD - not only did I resolve the PTSD through Yoga, I began to deepen my understanding and reverence for the mind, body and spirit connection.
Want to hear the best part? The woman who rescued me from this accident in Whistler Ski Patrol, ended up being my yoga teacher, completely coincidently, 5 years later. My rescuer and yoga teacher, Pashumati is also whom I studied with in her 200hr Shantiseva Yoga Teacher Training. - As a practice of breathing with movement; yoga can allow for greater understanding of yourself, increased stamina, more peace in your mind and greater tenacity in the face of adversity. (Increased Pain Tolerance in Yoga Practitioners)
- It would be a pleasure and an honour to guide with breathing and movement that can assist you to reconnect with the power within you and sharpen your own tools for living a good mountain life.
WHERE SPORT + SPIRIT UNITE
Physical Mobility: Bring your body to the mat so you can bring your best to the mountain. Stretching has been proven to help prevent injuries, decrease inflammation, modulate physical and mental pain, and impact exercise recovery speed. (Huberman Lab)
Mental Stamina When you do yoga, your brain cells develop new connections, and changes occur in brain structure as well as function, resulting in improved cognitive skills, such as learning and memory. Yoga strengthens parts of the brain that play a key role in memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language. Think of it as weightlifting for the brain. (Harvard Health Publishing)

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
Awake in the Wild: "Awake in the Wild” is the signature 200 hour Shantiseva Yoga & Lifestyle integrated Teacher Training program with Tina Pashumati James. This is an 8 step Mental, Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Health program to include yogic study, vigorous vinyasa as well as restorative yoga, scared ceremony and the four directions.
COME AS YOU ARE
When I began yoga - I had two modes: 1,000 miles per hour or asleep. Yoga is a great gift to give yourself to begin to regulate your nervous system, to breathe deeply and to listen to your body. I design classes to improve mountain mobility through strengthening and restorative positions. I take inspiration the moon and planetary cycles and books to bring awareness to the spiritual and self realisation concepts. Therefore no two classes are ever the same, yet the ingredients are consistent for strength, opening, awareness, balance.
Expe
- Beginners are welcome in all classes.
- Blocks and props are necessary for class. You can suitable with rolled up towels or blankets.
- Please book in for class before by sending Heidi a message on whatsapp (so I can log you in) or by booking in with the system.
- For Yin, please wear cosy socks, hat or a cosy jumper. Lots of pillows and blankets encouraged.
Why do Yang Yin Yoga?
-
BALANCE
-
mobility
-
recovery
-
come as you are
BALANCE
To remain stable is to distribute your weight and your energy evenly.
Performance sports require being sure-footed when shifting directions at a fast pace.
Not one muscle group works in isolation from the rest of the body. There is a community effect within the body.
Yoga can cross-train the under-utilised muscles and create a greater sense of harmony within all body systems.
MOBILITY
Flexibility + Control = Mobility.
In Yoga one breathes with the body into greater ranges of motions.
Breathing deeply as you approach the endpoint of your personal range of motion, as well as holding it at your endpoint (not pushing) can increase your strength and control of movements of the body. Greater power is generated by strength and mobility.
RECOVERY
What happens when a rubber band that is dry and brittle is stretched?
It snaps and breaks.
Resilience is akin to being elastic. When stretched one wants to be strong, pliable and return to shape.
In restorative yoga (longer resting/ stretching positions) the muscles are trained to relax entirely while breathing supports through increasing circulation to build resilience in the muscles.
Yoga returns the body to parasympathetic state; it soothes your nervous system.
In yoga, when we move from power asanas to restorative asanas we can train the nervous system to memorise this patterning, so that one can regulate the nervous system in everyday life.
COME AS YOU ARE

Yoga is a great gift to give yourself to begin to regulate your nervous system, to breathe deeply and to listen to your body. I design classes to improve mountain mobility through strengthening and restorative positions. I take inspiration the moon and planetary cycles and books to bring awareness to the spiritual and self realisation concepts.

Expe
- Beginners are welcome in both Power and Restorative.
- Mats available for €1. If you don't have €1 or a mat, come without; come as you are.
- No food, drinks, animals in the Shala.
- For restorative, if you can bring cosy socks, hat or a cosy jumper. If you run hot or you would prefer not, the choice to cosy up is entirely up to you.
