Heather Sullivan

Heather first came to Birmingham Yoga in 2014 where she was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga. She immediately fell in love with the practice and began to heal her body and mind through a daily practice.

In 2016, Heather completed her 200-hour training with her teacher Akasha Ellis and immediately began teaching. Since her training, she has spent over 100 hours under the direct tutelage of Akasha, gaining hands on experience in adjustments and learning the subtleties of teaching Ashtanga in a Mysore-style setting. In 2017, she attended a week-long intensive with Taylor Hunt at Ashtanga Yoga Columbus to learn about the problems associated with addiction and how to offer Ashtanga Yoga in recovery centers as a tool to help people achieve long-term sobriety. She also completed an additional 100 hours of training in the Ashtanga Primary Series with Tim Miller who has been studying and teaching Ashtanga Yoga for over 30 years. Heather would like to honor Akasha as well as her other teachers for the wisdom they have imparted and offers continued appreciation for their loving guidance and support.

Heather’s teaching style is light-hearted and compassionate and her goal is to make yoga 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.”
