Teacher Details

Sandra Heider, MA, MA, grew up in Germany, but left her home country when she was 19 to study in Edinburgh (1998). It was there when she started practising yoga with her first Ashtanga Yoga teachers Brian Cooper and Nawajyoti. Although she moved to England in 2002, she went back to Brian to do her teacher training (200 hour diploma with Yoga Alliance) in Edinburgh and Scoraig (2005 and 2006). In April 2007 under the guidance of David Life and Sharon Gannon she qualified as a Jivamukti teacher in New York. In June 2007 Sandra finished her month long intensive teacher training with Ana Forrest - becoming a Forrest Associate. In February 2009 she certified as a Forrest Yoga Teacher. Since then she has completed her Forrest mentorship programme with Heidi Sormaz in New Haven (CT) and assisted Ana Forrest at workshops (Peterborough and London 2009) as well as at a 5 day teacher training (Berlin 2009). She also currently studies with the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre to gain more insight into how the body, mind, spirit and emotions are connected.
Love and gratitude go to all her teachers and in particular Ana Forrest, Colleen Millen, Heidi Sormaz, Yogeswari, Sharon Gannon and David Life who are a true inspiration for her teaching, her practice and her life.
