Heidi Axelrod

Heidi began practicing yoga 7 years ago, in a gym setting, initially as a form of exercise with the goal of weight loss. The strength and power gained both physically and mindfully brought a new awareness to her life. Yoga opened many paths and opportunities which led Heidi to obtain her 200 hour teacher training under DeAnna Nielsen, with Blue Anjou. Heidi found yoga transitioned from a form of exercise to a life changing practice. She completed her 200 hour studies in 2007 and continued to attend workshops studying with Judith Lassiter, David Romanelli, Suzy Hately. Heidi obtained certification in Breathe Into Recovery, a yoga based program for addictions. She is currently working towards her 500 hour certification preparing an 8 part workshop, Food For The Soul, which seeks to combine chakra specific asana with chakra specific foods to balance the body and mind. Heidi recently received her Certified Personal Trainer credentials through the Cooper Wellness Institute. Her yoga teaching experience and personal training knowledge assisted her when opening Transform U Fitness, which seeks to share the benefits of yoga and living a healthy lifestyle.
