Heal And Transform Your Mind and Body!!!

Come together with like-minded individuals and fellow seekers. You’ll share your journeys, create friendships, and together, you’ll magnify your Light and the light you are sending out into the world. While Your individual Light is powerful by itself, coming together in shared consciousness, we generate a force so strong that it illuminates even the darkest corners of the earth.

Before you embark on your Yoga and Meditation Intensive, take some time to journal on your intended outcome. Identify those elements that you wish to release and what you need to invite in for re-balancing your mind and body for self-awareness and self-improvement.

Write at least three statements for each. State what you are willing to let go of, and write a positive affirmation for personal and Spiritual growth.

Here is an example:

Intention of Letting Go: I release all unhealthy lifestyle

Positive Affirmation of Healing: I now live in self-freedom

As the unhealthy negative patterns become more clear, and as you become more willing to allow self-growth and spiritual expansion, your transformation unfolds in miraculous ways.

Participate in this Intensive and Return Home Happier, Healthier & Stronger!

Heidi's journey into health and healing began when she was 13 years old. She was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and used yoga to strengthen and heal her body. Her passion for yoga led her to Nepal where she received her Yoga Teacher Certificate from Sushil Bhattacharya in 1998.

Her thirst for meditation brought her to Kriya Yoga, and in 1999 she was initiated into the lineage of Paramahansa Hariharananda and Paramahansa Prajnanananda. Heidi's dedicated practice opened her heart, taught her the power of prayer, invoked the triple Divine qualities of Sound, Light and Vibration, and she shared the benefits of her yoga and meditation practice with many people in Denmark, her home country, helping them to find balance, health and inner peace.

Heidi moved to the United States in 2002 to deepen her learning and application of spiritual healing disciplines. Her teachings were enriched by formal academic training through Naropa University; her Bachelor of Arts Degree (2005) reflecting her focus on Contemplative Psychology, Health and Healing, Sanskrit, and Hindu philosophies, practices and traditions.

Heidi continued her learning in Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy, and in 2012, she completed four years of 3000 hours training as certified Ayurvedic Doctor from Alandi Ashram, and six years of 1175 hours Ayurvedic Practitioner and Yoga Therapist Professional Certification training program at the Rocky Mountain Institute of Yoga and Ayurveda in Boulder, CO.

Heidi is also trained in the rare ancient healing art of Tibetan Cranial by Master Teacher and Lineage Holder Shar Lee Lee, and has sine 2008 helped thousands of people heal from headaches, head trauma and injuries.

“My overall energy has increased, my sleep has improved, my attitude & outlook is much more positive. I just feel so much better” Caryl P., CO

Ayurveda is a wellness practice that originated in India and is about 5,000 years old. The word "Ayurveda" is a combination of two Sanskrit words that mean life (Ayur) and science (Veda), so the literal translation of Ayurveda is "the science of life." Ayurvedic medicine seeks to create a healthy strong body through a series of diet, exercise and lifestyle practices, including sleep and mindful living.

Ayurvedic diet incorporates many different practices into your eating routine. These practices help you to benefit from the different qualities of food.

One of the primary characteristics of an Ayurvedic diet is that you eat according to your dominant constitutional type or dosha. You can think of your dosha as your most prominent energy.

There are three different Ayurvedic doshas that derive from five different elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Each element provides different qualities or attributes.

Vata (space and air): Attributes include dry, light, cold, mobile and rough.
Pitta (fire and water): Attributes include sharp, hot and liquid.
Kapha (earth and water): Attributes include moist, heavy, soft and static.

The heart becomes blocked when negative thought patterns (which in yoga are called Samskaras) get stuck in the mind and body. You have probably felt the negative effects of having a nagging worry or thought haunting you throughout the day. These thoughts are like energetic-roadblocks, and they are depleting and tiring. A heart full of unfinished events and worries is something that most people hold onto and time has come to release and let go of the old baggage.

This intensive is for you, if you are ready to tune in to higher frequencies, expand your consciousness and receive deep wisdom and power.

“I can honestly say that Heidi has changed my life.” Allisen H., CA
