Heather Howard

Heather is an authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Her journey with Ashtanga started over 20 years ago in Budapest, Hungary and Berlin, Germany where she studied with Manju Jois and David Swenson among others. Her teaching blends traditional lineage with an intuitive, breath/dristi-centered approach and an understanding that every day is a new gift that makes the time spent on our mat sacred. Heather creates a supportive space for students to explore depth, alignment, and presence—offering hands-on assists and thoughtful modifications to meet each body where it is. Her goal is to bring the practice of Ashtanga to the Perennial Yoga community.


Heather Howard instructs the following:
  • MADISON | FLOW | ASHTANGA
  • **All MADISON classes take place at our location in the Garver Feed Mill (3241 Garver Green, Madison) - NOT at E. Cheryl Pkwy**

    FLOW | ASHTANGA is a breath-led, adaptable class for students with an existing yoga practice. We will move through the majority of the Ashtanga Primary Series - a dynamic, fixed sequence - guided by the sound and rhythm of your Ujjayi breath. There will always be options to modify or intensify based on YOUR body’s needs. Hands-on assists are offered throughout. Expect a steady, meditative flow that supports both depth and freedom in your practice.
