The Salty Yogi
Where Adventure & Fitness Meet...
Aloha!
Hi! I’m Heather-the Salty Yogi…
I have lived as a full-time nomad for many years: First on a Bus Named Bubba, then in a semi-truck, and today, a Sceptre 41 Sailboat named Gypsea Explorer.
I have been practicing, teaching, and playing with yoga since I was a kid. I am young at heart, but with midlife firmly in my rearview, I am a little older in other places.
I am not your typical yoga teacher. I drink. I cuss. I fish. Think Prada Meets Teen Spirit. You won’t hear much Sanskrit–and are forgiven if you don’t know your asana from a hole in the ground. I do know that Yoga is for everyone, from the salad-eating, Motley Crue lover to the fried pickle-eating line dancer.
So, I invite you to stretch, sip, and sail with us–wherever the winds may lead.

A Personal Journey at 58.
I felt old, a feeling that arrived one morning when I found myself sitting on the edge of the toilet, bending over to put on a shirt because I could no longer lift my shoulder. I draped a towel around me like a toga and went to the doctor.
