Welcome to Heatwave!! I am grateful to have brought hot and heated yoga to Niagara Falls ... my community!
​
10 years ago, I found yoga, initially for the physical benefits, but quickly learned how this practice could transform other areas of my life. I noticed a greater ability to combat feelings of anxiety, depression and noticed an overarching improvement in my emotional and mental wellbeing. In times of life hurdles, yoga has been there to help me through. I often say that yoga saved my life, and I truly mean that. I want everyone in the community I grew up in, and continue to live in, to be able to practice yoga and improve their lives!
​
Join me for a variety of classes led intuitively from my heart. Explore this practice with me to help you tune into yourself to deepen your personal understanding and to help you live your life authentically for you.

When I am not "Yogaing", I am teaching Fashion, spending time in nature and raising 2 beautiful little ladies.

Through the practices of self love, gratitude, meditation, journaling, and asana I have discovered my own super power strength — not only physically, but also mentally and energetically. I wake every day and do my best to practice and teach these principles by being a student and teacher of my own body, mind, spirit.

Hello there! My name is Alyssa and I've been teaching yoga for almost 3 years now. I still can't believe I've taught a single class to be completely honest. What I aim to bring to class is my connection to our natural world. Other than my deep appreciation for plants, I love learning about the human body, mind and spirit connection. If I'm not on my mat you'll find me: outside, caffeinated, working or singing 80's Essential Hits in my car. I am always open for book recommendations!

Hey, I’m Amanda! If you need me and I'm not doing yoga, I’m most likely outdoors - on a hike, walking my dog, jumping in a lake, paddle boarding, you get the idea! My need for movement is what led me to yoga. Growing up, I tried every sport under the sun, and that is what sparked my love for movement. When I took my first yoga class (circa 2009), I immediately fell in love with the remarkable physicality of yoga - the flexibility, balancing, strength. It wasn’t until later in my years of practicing yoga where I discovered the challenges and possibilities that yoga provides through exercising your mind. My work as a yoga teacher and student is seeing students for who they are, and celebrating it all! I teach to possibility by instilling the belief that we are all already the greatest version of ourselves - we simply need to believe it. Join me for lots of leap frogs, after class chats and good tunes!

Hi I'm Duane. I am a certified RYT 500 from Modo International. I consider myself a spiritual seeker from an early age, and I think that is why I feel a deep connection to Yoga. It's also the reason I like to infuse my classes with the space necessary for your to connect with your own internal world.
Please join me in the hot room as we explore the joy of movement and meditation with the aim of balancing mind, body and spirit.

Hi I'm Jen! I can be found in the hot room, in the sun, with my fam + friends, or at a concert. I'm obsessed with music and I'm obsessed with yoga! I have always lived an active lifestyle ... I love to move + flow. I figure skated for many years of my life and continue my love of movement through all types of fitness - Pilates, running and then power yoga. Yoga gave me the spark. It is the best thing I've done in my life and also one of the most challenging. My mat is a place where I connect my mind and my body, connect my movement with my breath, and have the choice to come to my edge every single day - I sweat, I move, I work, I breathe, I love, I feel. As a yoga teacher and student, I want to share my passion and empower others to step into their own grace and strength ... I would describe my teaching style as energetic, fun and powerful ... creating an opportunity to experience the dance of yoga. (Epic playlists included) I cannot wait to meet all of you!!!
