About me

Hi, I'm Heather 👋

Senior Yoga Teacher, Aromatherapist & founder of Mini Movers Toddler Yoga. Based in Sussex.

I believe yoga is for everyone — wobbly days, steady days, and everything in between. It's not about touching your toes or standing on your head. It's about connecting to your body and breath, and taking the time to really listen to yourself for a change.

My yoga journey

My passion for yoga began during pregnancy, and grew through Mum & Baby classes before evolving into a dedicated Vinyasa Flow practice. That journey — from bump to mat — shaped everything about the way I teach today.

I'm not the most serious yoga teacher, but I am incredibly passionate about what this ancient practice has to offer every single person who steps onto the mat. Over the years I've taught weekly classes, led retreats across Sussex, trained as a qualified Aromatherapist, and developed specialist teacher trainings that I deliver both in person and online.

I hold a Senior Yoga Teacher qualification with Yoga Alliance Professionals and have spent many years as an assistant trainer on Sally Parkes' Pre and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training — a role that inspired me to create my own specialist training for the early years.

All are welcome on the mat at Deaville Yoga.
