HEATHER ELLICOTT

My yoga journey began as a way to find more balance in my life. As an avid road cyclist, yoga quickly became my go-to antidote for tight, cranky hamstrings, hips, and shoulders—and I fell in love with the sense of calm and centeredness it brought to both my body and mind. Over time, my curiosity grew beyond the poses themselves. I wanted to better understand why we move the way we do, how our everyday patterns can create postural imbalances, and how thoughtful movement can help support and protect our joints, ligaments, and tendons. Discovering Lara’s LYT Yoga method felt like finding a practice that truly spoke to me. Inspired by its functional, anatomy-informed approach, I completed a second 200-hour teacher training with LYT Yoga in 2025 to deepen my understanding of the body and how we can move it with greater awareness and intention. At this stage of my life, I’m less interested in finding the “perfect” pose and much more interested in moving with greater ease, strength, and joy. I love helping others develop a deeper connection with their bodies and discover that yoga isn’t about how a pose looks—it’s about how movement feels and how we can create more freedom, balance, and ease both on and off the mat.
