We're excited to share the story of our dynamic Rocket yoga teacher, Heather!

Heather's yoga journey began twenty years ago while studying Buddhism in India, where a fellow student introduced them to Ashtanga practice. Coming from a background as a pre-professional ballet dancer and longtime spiritual seeker, yoga became the perfect marriage of their two greatest passions: movement and spirituality.

This unique combination of dance and spiritual exploration shapes their teaching philosophy. In Rocket classes, you can expect a spirit of fun and lightheartedness that encourages play, risk-taking, and community support as students step outside their comfort zones together. Classes are filled with laughter, interaction, and collaborative workshopping of inversions and arm balances.

Heather's extensive training includes over 200 hours of Rocket certification with the Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa School under renowned teachers David Kyle and Kevin Castillo. She has also completed the Ashtanga Intermediate Series with Jonathan Cronin and Jayme Sekel and continues developing her handstand practice each day.

Yoga teacher training is more than learning how to teach—it’s learning more about yourself.

Many arrive with clear goals, but leave with something far greater: a deeper sense of purpose, clarity, and connection. The journey has a way of meeting you exactly where you are, and gently guiding you where you’re meant to go.

If you're interested in learning more our September 2025 training starts soon.

When I was contemplating taking over ownership of Yoga Shala, my biggest concern was losing the flexibility to travel. After nearly two decades of getting to stay home and raise my family, I had the privilege of packing up and getting to go anywhere, anytime, for any length of time. It wasn’t so much travel as it was a lifestyle.

Feeling called to serve not only my community but also a team of teachers who also have the same calling, I knew I had to take on ownership, and my team has never let me down. Having retained the original teaching staff as well as adding to our sangha, we number 25 dedicated souls.

Each one of you at Yoga Shala made it possible for me to have the best of many worlds. Living out my calling without having to sacrifice time with my family wherever that may be and for whatever amount of time.

My gratitude cannot be contained 🙏🏽💕

Thank you beloved teachers and my family thanks you too 🤗💕

Ready to explore a career that feeds your soul?

I wish I had done this sooner."

This is hands down the most common thing we hear from students who complete our teacher training. Whether they're 25 or 65, whether they've been practicing for 2 years or 20 – the sentiment is always the same.

Here's the truth: There's no perfect time, no perfect age, and no perfect level of experience to begin this journey.

Becoming a yoga teacher isn't just about leading classes (though you absolutely can). It's about:

✨ Deepening your own practice – Understanding the 'why' behind every pose and breath
✨ Sharing your knowledge – Whether with friends, family, or a full studio
✨ Asking the right questions – About your body, your mind, and your purpose
✨ Speaking your truth – Finding your authentic voice and learning to trust it
Living more consciously – Developing tools to navigate life with greater awareness and intention

The students who "wish they had started sooner" aren't dwelling on lost time – they're celebrating the profound shift that happens when you commit to this path.

Your time is now. Not when you're "ready enough" or "flexible enough" or "calm enough."

September 2025 training starts soon. Reach out before August 1 to learn about our Early Bird pricing.

Meet Laura G - Bringing Joy to Every Practice!

From taking yoga as a PE class in her unique NYC high school to completing her Teacher Training right here at Yoga Shala, Laura's journey has been filled with discovery and joy. After moving to Northern Virginia in 2019, she found her way to our studio as a student in early 2024 and knew she was home.

Laura brings an infectious sense of playfulness to everything she does, believing that holding space for fun and creativity is absolutely necessary in life. She loves teaching gentle and 101 classes, peeling back the layers to find new ways to build on foundational shapes and help beginners feel confident on their mat. Her approach makes yoga accessible and enjoyable for students who are just starting their practice or looking to deepen their understanding of the basics.

When she's not teaching, you'll find her exploring all the amazing activities the DMV area has to offer with her family, volunteering in the community, reading, strength training, or diving into her many fun and nerdy hobbies.

Come experience Laura's joyful approach to yoga and discover how she helps students feel deeply connected to both body and mind while having fun along the way!
