Even though she is a new 200RYT yoga teacher, Heather is not new to yoga. Having practiced on and off for the past 10 years, she started making yoga part of her weekly routine 5 years ago. After loosing 35lbs 5 years ago, yoga has become an important part of staying healthy and keeping the weight off. Blessed with many outstanding teachers throughout the years, Toni Farris was instrumental in pushing her practice to higher levels. She had looked into become a fitness instructor many times, and it just never seemed to be the right time or place.
Why do we keep having the same relationships and getting the same jobs over and over again? In this infinite sea of potential, how come we keep recreating the same realities? Isn't it amazing that we have options that exist, but we're unaware of them? We've been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal world. This new model of science is just the opposite. It says what's happening within us will create what's happening outside of us.
- What the Bl**ep Do We (K)now?!
I started my yoga journey six years ago after being referred to yoga by a chiropractor and haven’t been able to get off the mat ever since.
I recently moved to Dallas from St. Louis, MO where I completed a 200 yoga certification course and I am interested in a part-time Yoga Instructor position.
I have a strong passion for yoga which allows me to quickly develop a positive relationship with students by listening to their needs and concerns, and encouraging them through each stage of their yoga journey.

I have been practicing yoga for almost 30 years now, and teaching for about 9. I received my RYT through YogaFit and also trained with American Power Yoga. The blessings of this practice and these teachings have changed my life- my health, my attitude, my relationships. My deepest honor and joy is to share with others the many and varied benefits of the practice and I do so with the greatest humility and respect. I am grateful to my family, my teachers and my students for the lessons they teach me every day.
Varsha was born and raised in the birth place of Yoga and Sanskrit , India, who draws her experience mostly from Yoga in India. She was raised in a traditional Hindu family, where chanting, bhajans and meditation were part of her daily rituals. She has practiced and studied yoga since her childhood with her maternal uncle and had formal training in Hatha Yoga and Sanskrit language when she was in high school. Certified in Yoga from Patanjali Yoga Shikshana Samithi in 1986, and in Ramayana (The Great Hindu Epic) from India.
I evolved from teaching perfection to teaching acceptance. That is the summary of my journey into yoga teaching. As a professional dancer and dance teacher, it was contrary to my own yoga practice to constantly be critical of others bodies and progress in the hopes of achieving a "perfect" picture on the stage. One day it just clicked. TEACH ACCEPTANCE. I had to understand how to apply it to myself first. Once that lesson took root, my development as a teacher of yoga really began.
