Heather Sullivan

Heather is co-owner of Birmingham Yoga where she leads and teaches a Mysore program. She first came to yoga in her twenties but nothing really stuck until she was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga. Heather immediately fell in love with the meditative qualities and structure of the Mysore-style method and began to cultivate a daily practice where she continues to uncover endless layers of information about herself and her practice.

In 2015 Heather began her path to teach yoga. She completed her 200-hour training with Akasha Ellis and immediately began an apprenticeship to gain hands on experience in adjustments and to learn the subtleties of teaching the Mysore-style of Ashtanga Yoga. Heather continues to work closely with Akasha assisting the 200-hour Teacher Training as well as retreats and workshops.

Heather attended a 100-hour Primary Series Training with Tim Miller in 2017 and continues to study with Tim in Encinitas, California each year. Heather has also worked closely with Taylor Hunt and is fortunate to teach for the Trini Foundation. She will begin an apprenticeship with Taylor at Ashtanga Yoga Columbus in 2020.

In the yoga room, Heather’s teaching style is light-hearted and compassionate. Her goal is to make yoga, meditation, and mindfulness accessible to everyone.

“My goal is to provide a safe and healing space where the practice of yoga itself can be the teacher. I have been fortunate to find countless benefits including a more loving and compassionate attitude toward myself and others through my practice and look forward to seeing what the practice uncovers for you.”
