Sheila Higgins Yoga

I’m glad you’re here.

Welcome! This page will serve as a resource for community engagement and relationship-making as I explore my academic and professional development. Many of you may know me as an Iowa-based yoga teacher, athletic coach, and small-town baking goddess. Now that I live in sunny Southern California, I’m thrilled to be diving deeper into my own study and practice of yoga, and am working on some exciting new ventures as a “teacher” in my new life out here in the West Coast and beyond. My food biz (formerly, “The Farmhouse Kitchen”) has taken a rest as I’ve shifted my focus to a deeper intellecutal and experiential understanding of my own health and technique, and I have a lot of new insights that I look forward to expanding upon and sharing! Writing and I don’t get along as smoothly as it might appear - I’ve been reconnecting with some forgotten creative outlets of mine, and look forward to sharing some new mixed media projects with you soon.

My academic focus is diverse and a bit fungible - I currently attend a Naturopathic Medical School, and am working towards a Master’s of Science in Nutrition for Wellness, with an intended specialization in Plant Spirit Medicine, Integrative Therapeutics, and mind/body/environmental healing through regenerative agricultural practices and blended somatic studies. I’m inspired by indigenous wisdom and the unique beauty of culture; much of my uprbinging and training is grounded in the ancient Vedic tradition and eastern philosphy, and I look forward to widening my scope of understanding and learning through lots of travel and adventuring in the not-so-distant future. I have the softest spot in my heart for working with children, animals, and the underserved and hope to develop unique educational programming, support, empowerment, and equal opportunity for health and wellness tools & strategies...regardless of race, borders, gender, belief systems, or socioeconomic status.

I feel deeply, learn fervently, and love my world with something fierce.

Let’s grow together, shall we?
