Motherhood Yoga: Supporting Postpartum Wellness
The postpartum period can be a time of significant physical and emotional adjustment for new parents.

Her classes offer a safe space for students to share their experiences, build a sense of community, and receive the guidance they need to navigate the challenges of parenthood. By focusing on both physical recovery and emotional well-being, Heather’s postpartum yoga classes play a vital role in promoting maternal health and wellness.
Expanding Awareness and Access to Yoga
Heather Kampf Yoga is also actively working on developing yoga retreats that cater to families and couples, particularly those in the prenatal phase. These retreats offer a much-needed pause, allowing families to connect deeply with themselves and each other. Heather understands that parents and pregnant people often feel they can’t take time for themselves, and she is dedicated to changing that by helping families create lasting memories through these immersive experiences.
A Vision for the Future
Heather’s hopes and goals for the future of her business are simple yet complex: she wants to help women navigate pregnancy and motherhood, ensuring they feel supported by a strong community.
