About Heathor
HI! My name is Heathor & I LOVE YOGA & DRUMMING!
Since coming to Los Angeles from Milwaukee WI back in 1989 in search of fame & fortune as a rock & roll drummer with my band,
I've been many things - bicyclist, drummer, screen printer, tie dyer, festival vendor, graphic designer, drum facilitator, caregiver -
all these things affected my body in different ways, some of them painful. Through yoga & meditation I've found ways of dealing with the
stress, aches & pains that daily life has inflicted upon my body. I love to share my experience with others & help them work through their body's issues.
I've been athletic since childhood, playing baseball, softball, basketball, tennis, soccer, as well as biking, skating, & skateboarding.
I've always enjoyed working out & have been cross training for years using a combination of yoga, biking/Spinning, swimming, & weight training.
I've used meditation for years to control my chronic pain in my neck & shoulders, as well as helping my concentration at work & with stress control.
I like to incorporate meditation & breath work into my workouts so you can bring these benefits into your everyday life!
After finishing a rigorous teacher training program & apprenticeship at Black Dog Yoga in Sherman Oaks,
I was certified as a 200RYT yoga instructor by The Yoga Alliance, in 2007.
In 2023, I completed my 500RYT certification, something I should have done years ago, but life just got in the way.
I am a certified VMC Drum Facilitator, having completed several playshops & the weeklong Hawaii Training with Arthur Hull in 2017.
Music is a huge part of my life, both as a musician & a lover of music. I believe in the power of drumming for lifting our mood & spirit,
as well as the healing properties via the gong & crystal singing bowls.
My passion for music, drumming, & movement informs my entire life -
whether I'm teaching a yoga class; facilitating a drum circle; or performing a healing soundbath.
This isn't my job - it's my PASSION.
I love to share this joy from yoga, drumming & sound with others & encourage them onto their own journey!
Come check out one of my classes, circles, or soundbaths to discover the magic of movement, music, drumming & vibration within YOU!
