About me

  Although a practitioner of yoga for years, coming into these classes I knew almost nothing about Ayurveda. It’s been a joy to join and be exposed to a whole new world of Ayurveda and more. Learning with Heather and the other students is a highlight of my weeks!    Heather shares pearls of wisdom and expansive knowledge to bring harmony, health and awareness to your body’s changing needs. Done in an accessible way, she brings boundless creativity and fun to her classes. Classes are varied in form and always building one upon another. Pulling ideas and practices from all over, she imparts each class with learning, play, peace and essential movement.    The space of safety, trust and inclusion that Heather cultivates is magical. She meets every person in the room where they are and shines her light so they feel seen. She’s nurturing a community of people who are exploring Ayurveda, yoga, meditation and life. I’m deeply grateful to be able to be a part of it.  Heather’s dedication to both her own and her student’s growth is evident in the broad variety of engaging and uplifting classes. Being part of these classes is one of the best parts of Bend. Please come and see what it’s all about!

It was a privilege to attend a yoga retreat with Heather Tenbroek in Costa Rica.  Although I was a bit apprehensive prior to attending, as soon as we spoke and met at the retreat, it was quickly evident how skilled, caring and passionate Heather is about yoga and the well-being of each participant.  She has the unique ability to tailor one's practice according to their individual ability, interest and physical capability. She simply meets you wherever you are and helps to facilitate growth from there....in the physical as well as spiritual realm. I am most fortunate to have met and practiced with Heather, and feel as though I have made a friend for life in the process.   I am looking forward to the next adventure at Blue Osa with Heather in 2023!  

Heather’s classes are the best! I’ve been doing yoga a very long time and I love her teachings. She brings her own uniqueness to yogic wisdom, easy to understand, good for all levels! She sees you, like really sees you, for your uniqueness, too. She’s very calming, knowledgeable and fun, too. I especially love that I can bring my furry friend with me to class! I always learn more about myself when I'm around her.
