Heather Garcia
The daughter of a champion body builder, Heather has always been interested in health and fitness. A yoga student since 2003, she earned her YogaFit® Teacher Certification in 2007.
In her classes, Heather emphasizes the importance of breathing through every pose and listening to one’s body. She encourages her students to listen to and honor their bodies by modifying poses, to be either more or less challenging, based on how they feel in the present moment. She promotes letting go of judgment, expectations, and competition with one's self or with others.
"Breathing reminds us that we’re alive. Let’s always remember to breathe."
In addition to practicing yoga, Heather is a student of belly dance and a co-founder of dance troupe Maha Dansari. She occasionally performs as a soloist or with her troupe at venues and private parties in the San Diego area.
Heather is an enthusiastic, new instructor, and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring yoga to her community.
