Have you ever admired a teacher and wished you could spend an hour going deep with them? That is what we got to do today with yoga teacher and psychology student, Heather Lilleston. Heather is  currently in a doctoral program working towards her PhD in Clinical Psychology, and has taught yoga since 2003. In 2012, she co-founded Yoga For Bad People, a company focused on leading yoga retreats worldwide. Heather has been certified by such esteemed studios as Jivamukti Yoga with Sharon Gannon and David Life and Yoga Shanti with Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee, where she later assisted as a mentor, and taught as a lead teacher. She was recognized by Yoga Journal as one of the “50 Innovators Changing the Game of the Wellness Industry”, and held their cover for the January/February 2017 issue. She is also a senior teacher of The Class founded by Taryn Toomey.

Today we discuss how Heather's psychology studies will enrich her yoga teachings, and the benefits and costs of wellness becoming a commodity. We also talk about the gifts that came out of a forced retreat during the pandemic. Lastly, we discuss heartbreaks, and her advice for getting through them.
