Heather Duplex

Heather Duplex started her Ashtanga yoga practice in 1990, with Chuck Miller at Yoga Works in Santa Monica, CA. While still practicing Ashtanga, she began teaching in 1995.
Being inspired by Chuck and the practice, Heather went to Lakshmipuram, Mysore, India in 1996, for the first time, to study with Guruji, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Since then, Heather has been Authorized by Guruji and has been back to India to study with him many times. She then became a student of Maty Ezraty in 1997 and studied with her for 9 years, and taught Ashtanga classes at the Yoga Works School in Santa Monica, California until spring 2006. She taught at Yoga Works for over 12 years.

Along with studying with Guruji, Chuck and Maty, Heather has also been fortunate over the years to have taken classes and workshops with master teachers such as: Annie Grover Pace, Richard Freeman, and Dena Kingsberg. She is an advanced practitioner and has completed the third series. Heather has been studying Ayurveda since 2000, and has done several study intensives with Ayurvedic teachers, Maya Tiwari (A Life of Balance) and Amadea Morningstar(The Ayurvedic Cookbook)as well as healer Paul Pitchford(Healing with Whole Foods). Heather loves the art of Cooking and specializes in what she considers Yogic Food.

In addition to the ongoing explorations of Ashtanga Yoga and Ayurveda, Heather and Prem are deepening their experience of Tantra together.
