Heather Tawney, Certified Yoga Teacher

Heather is a graduate of Towson State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Science. She has since gotten certified to be a Yoga Teacher through AAAI/ISMA. She is currently in the process of finishing up her 200 hour certification through Yoga Alliance. She has been a student of Yoga for 10 years and teaching for 6 years. She has experience in teaching students of all ages from young adult to senior citizens.

Heather’s philosophy on Yoga is for you to meet your body, mind and spirit where they are and work with them gently. In each yoga class you will experience the following:
• control of the breath (pranayama)
• physical postures (asana) that help to promote strength, flexibility, and balance,
• meditation (focus)
• relaxation (savasana)

Her class is always open to beginners as yoga is to be done with a beginners mind even if you have done it for years.

In her free time, Heather enjoys volunteering for the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League and Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center. She has two dogs of her own and often has a foster dog to train and get ready for adoption through the rescue. She also enjoys different styles of dance including NIA, African Dance, and Ballet as well as (Ice) Figure Skating.

Heather is happily married to Jason Tawney, a financial advisor with Edward Jones Investments and head baseball coach at Villa Julie College.
