Heather Berg, E-RYT

Heather Berg, E-RYT, is a former Montessori teacher who has been a yoga practitioner since 1990 where, as a college student, she took her first “Intro to Sun Salutations” at NYU. She practiced many yoga traditions over her 20 plus years, but it wasn’t until her yoga training with Leslie Glickman, where she was formally trained in Vinyasa Krama (intelligent sequencing designed with a specific intention) did she find her true calling.

Heather’s passion is to share her enthusiasm of yoga, how it mirrors life, and to create a positive experience for her students. Her mission is to meet the needs of individuals as well as to teach at a deeper level beyond the postures.

Heather’s precisely cued invigorating Vinyasa classes focus on cultivating breath and body awareness while her Yin classes relax both the body and mind taking practitioners to a deeper level of sensitivity and stillness, both inside and out. She believes you can find absolute freedom and ease, no matter where you are in life, who you are with, or what the circumstances may be.  It’s all about attention to your intention. Heather reminds her students (and herself) that part of the beauty of life is getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Not only does Heather teach on land, but on a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) as well. The paddleboard takes the place of your mat, but since it’s an unstable foundation it will truly fire up your core and tap into your humble nature. You will NO DOUBT need to work with more consciousness, honing your mindfullness skills.

Along with teaching local workshops, Heather leads yoga classes at larger events such as: Okeechobee Music, Art and Yoga Fest; Yoga Expo; I Am Complete Women’s Retreat; Campowerment.

She is always researching and exploring other respectable yoga teacher trainings and workshops so that she can continue her own growth to bring new concepts to her students. Some of the teachers Heather has been blessed to study with and is influenced by are Elena Brower, Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Terri Cooper, Jason Crandell, Pam Leal, Kathryn Budig and Joe Barnett.

When asked what she loves about yoga, Heather says, “It’s the perfect opportunity to see who I really am. It brings me home.”

Heather lives in Boca Raton with her husband and two beautiful daughters.
