Hi, I'm Heather Warneke, Yoga Instructor in Phoenix.

A little about me

It wasn’t love at first class for me; in fact, as a former dancer the idea of moving to feel good and not to look good felt foreign to me.  But ultimately yoga became a big part of my life in 2013 when a friend received her teaching certificate and needed some students to practice on.  I was an occasional yogi at that time, but I started taking more and more classes and eventually the movement and breath connection brought me relief from the stress of my corporate job and the balance I needed after the sudden loss of my mom and the break-up of a long term relationship.  That same year I travelled to Bali to attend a yoga retreat, the solo trip abroad was enlightening!  I came back so inspired I started my own yoga teaching journey.  Since then, I obtained my 200 hour RYT  in vinyasa followed by another 300 hours of additional yoga specialties including: pre & post-natal, SUP yoga, chair yoga, Ashtanga, aerial yoga, yoga nidra and meditation.  I am a Reiki energy worker educated in the Usui/Holy Fire III System of Natural Healing. No matter what brings you to your mat, my goal is to help you feel good in your own body.

I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania....Scranton area -- Dunder Mifflin anyone? I had the opportunity to live in various parts of the northeast and the Atlantic coast of Florida, where my love of SUP yoga began! I moved to the Phoenix area in 2024.  I can't wait to meet and move with you!

If you have taken one of my classes, you know I like to incorporate the use of essential oils during savasana, with my signature head massage adjustment.  I've started making my own reiki infused oil blends to share with my students!
