About me

Yoga is awesome!

My passion for yoga came through my experience of Pregnancy, Mum & Baby, then Vinyasa Flow Yoga. And that's exactly what yoga is, a practice, it's not about touching your toes, folding yourself in two or standing on your head. It's about connecting to your body and breath, and stopping to really listen to yourself for a change. Taking the time to switch off from the rest of the world and really tune in to what you need right now. 

I am by no means a perfect yogi, but I love it! Come wobbly days or steady days, yoga gives me the physical and mental space I need to get the most out of life. I'm not the most serious yoga teacher, but I am incredibly passionate about how much this ancient art has to offer everyone. All are welcome on the mat at Deaville Yoga.

“When I moved to the lovely Saltdean, I was keen to find a local yoga class and chanced upon Deaville Yoga and have never looked back since. Heather is not only an incredible yoga teacher but also an authentic, fun and lovely human who exudes warmth, generosity and kindness. Each of our weekly classes are different and Heather tailors her content to ensure everyone has the best experience and leaves with a holistic and cathartic class. If you’re looking for a fabulous local yoga class Heather is definitely your lady.”

“My Inspirational yoga teacher, Heather, always vibrant, positive and full of energy! She understands disability, is sensitive to her students’ needs and differences, helping us to overcome muscle aches and pains with a lightness of touch and a great sense of humour. Heather combines practical yoga asanas and exercises while communicating a spiritual awareness in her irrepressibly joyful nature and in the deep calm of meditation. A brilliant combination of qualities for every yoga session! 🙏”
Maggie Edwards

“I feel very grateful to be part of the special space that Heather creates in each of her classes. It has been invaluable in enabling me a space and time completely dedicated to myself and to practise some self care. It's been such a nurturing and beautiful practice, it feels integral to my well being to be honest. Heather is brilliant, informative and intuitive, thoughtful and caring with every last detail thought of. A beautiful, magical space. Can you do it every day please?”
Fern Woodward

“I've been having a tough couple of years (I think so many of us have!) and Heather's class is one of the best things I do for myself. I really appreciate the fun, warm and most of all, non-judgmental atmosphere she creates in her classes. I can be hard of myself at times and don't really enjoy exercise that much but with the flow and the affirmations, I always leave feeling better, mentally and physically than when I arrived. Thanks so much.”

“Hi Heather, thank you! I really enjoyed the Essentials Oils course today. It’s such a huge subject, but you managed to refine it down to key essentials and gave us such a pleasant, well planned and informative experience. I feel more confident now using essential oils with students and I shall enjoy doing further research on aromatherapy.”
