About The Artist/Teacher

Heather Brown has been a ballet dancer and a mover for her entire life. Living with Cystic Fibrosis, staying active is not only enjoyable,but also an important part of staying healthy.

After fracturing her femur in a
motorcycle accident in 2010, she was looking for a less competitive way than dance to regain her active lifestyle. Yoga became that bridge.

Through the practice of yoga, she has regained the mobility, strength and acceptance that were once thought to be lost forever. In the
summer of 2016, she decided to take the plunge and become a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. In her classes, she draws upon her body awareness from being a dancer and ballet teacher to articulate clear yoga instruction with the kindness and acceptance that Kripalu practice is known for. She hopes to give her students an opportunity to reconnect with themselves through the practice
of yoga.

“Kripalu yoga is often described as meditation in motion… I aim to guide students through an experience that is just as much about relaxation and breathing as it is about moving. Yoga is something that everyone
at every level should be able to enjoy.

The last few years, her creativity has flourished as well. With the lock-down in 2020 came plenty of time to create. In 2021, she established "Dancing Spark Creations" as a place to share that spark with others. More recently adding options for private virtual yoga sessions or seeing her handmade goods at local artisan fairs.
