My Story
My name is Heather King, your host. Also an experienced Speech and Language Therapist, I reached burn out, working in 8 different schools and knew I needed to pause. I lost my lovely Dad, and wasn't taking care of myself but didn't know how to make a change.
​
I felt lost and stuck, with no tools or practices to turn to. I had been thinking the answer would be in a promotion, a boyfriend or something I could buy.
​
So, in 2020 I quit my job, packed a bag and set out for The Camino de Santiago with my dog. I didn't know much about hiking, or speak any Spanish, but I knew that there was more to life than the daily grind and overwhelming amounts of paperwork that were taking over. I wanted to challenge myself physically and spiritually with a pilgrimage.
​
Then, the Pandemic hit. I managed to hike one day, and had to turn back. I was in a new relationship and went to stay with him for a while.
As I sat in my tent in the rain one morning, scrolling and feeling a bit lost, a Yoga Teacher Training popped up. It was exactly the amount of money I had, to the penny. Full of self-doubt, I booked it anyway.
​
I returned to London and what happened next was beyond my imagination. From day 1, the teachings of yoga captured me. I couldn't believe how much there was to absorb. I had no idea the depth of the philosophy and how much hope, resilience and calm it would suddenly bring to my life.
​
With my new certificate, I was ready to teach! I went to my favourite beach in Dorset, painted a YOGA sign and the next morning, 17 people came. I couldn't believe it. I taught a simple class, I guided breath, I had so much fun! I had found my calling and knew something special was unfolding.
​
From 2023 - 2025, I hosted 15 weekend retreats, multiple day retreats, bespoke classes and group offerings. A community of like-minded souls formed and I have been inspired by their openness.
Everyday I forget and remember again that awareness is everything, the body holds so much wisdom and that leading with gentle compassion has saved me time and again.
​
My offerings intend to offer space and fresh perspective to all guests, in their own time.
​
In late 2025, I decided to take a personal pause. I wanted to travel, to get to know myself and my offering more deeply, and to live full time in my campervan. I am still offering online group and 1:1 classes, but won't be in person in UK until Autumn 2026. You can follow me on Instagram to see my journey through Italy and beyond.
