About Heather Tiddens:
Heather teaches yoga and leads ceremony as ways to support and empower people in embodying their most authentic selves. Her teaching is inspired by her own healing process, which integrates Forrest Yoga, Yin Yoga, hands-on healing, psychotherapy and Indigenous ceremony ways. Heather’s life-long athletic experience, deep connection with the elements of nature, and exploration of indigenous culture and ceremony ways greatly influence her work. Since 1979, she has been an avid and skilled surfer, competing as one of the top 15 women on the Professional World Tour in 1988-89. In 1988, she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Studies at UC Santa Barbara. Her studies culminated in a focus on the impact of land development and the California Environmental Quality Act and related legislation on Chumash sacred sites and cultural heritage.
Studying various styles of Hatha Yoga since 1995, she has completed Teacher Training courses with Erich Schiffman, in Iyengar style with Lisa Walford, and in Forrest Yoga with Ana Forrest. From 1998-2004, Heather worked extensively with Ana Forrest as her student, apprentice and assistant in workshops and trainings throughout the US and in Canada. During this time, she completed a personal teaching apprenticeship with Ana, and trained teachers as a faculty member in the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training Courses. She is a Yoga Alliance RYT-500 registered yoga teacher. Heather lives in Carpinteria, CA with her husband Art, and teaches at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, and at Satya House, her private studio. She teaches ongoing beginning, intermediate and advanced level classes as well as the Introduction to Yoga Program and Intro to Yoga Teacher’s Tutorial at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, and travels nationally teaching courses, workshops and retreats.
Heather brings a clear, steady and compassionate presence to the classroom. She creates a safe, sacred space for students to explore their spiritual, emotional and physical healing and growth. Her classes are known forweaving challenging physical intensity with the development of mindful self awareness, and for her practical, focused, and sensitive individualized instruction. Her skillfulness in adjusting and modifying poses empowers students to work safely and in a healing way with injuries and health conditions. She is passionately committed to turning people on to embodying spirit in their yoga practice and in their lives.
