Yoga began to transform my life in 2012. I was instantly captivated by the physical benefits and as I returned to my mat consistently it revealed so much more. It unlocked profound emotional healing, helping to shed long held burdens, and opened the door to a deeper spiritual connection. In 2015 I completed a 200-hour YTT at Jala Yoga under the wonderful Christa Mastrangelo Joyca at Jala Yoga. This training ignited a passion within and my teaching journey began. In 2023, I expanded my practice further by completing Reiki Master Teacher training with the highly respected Dr. DK Guyer. This training deepened my understanding of energy work, strengthened my spiritual connection, and enriched my teaching in ways I could not have envisioned. I am currently pursuing an additional 300 hour YTT with Yogi Perogi in Melbourne. Yoga has been a transformative journey in my life, and it is an honor to share its magic with others.
"TreeTop Yoga by Shanan Heckman was just what I needed! I found the way she presents her classes unhurried, and included various options for the less flexible. It is relaxing, yet invigorating. She is very knowledgeable about poses, and her voice is lovely. After each class, I feel like my body has been stretched in a good way and my mind is content & peaceful. I thoroughly recommend Shanan Heckman and all her classes and retreats. "

"Shanan is an excellent teacher. Her classes are fun and all levels are welcomed. She shares with everyone her passion for living a grounded compassionate life. She is very observant, constantly checking to make sure you are in the right position to reduce chance of injury. My favorite part in the guided meditations; I walk away feeling very relaxed and centered. I love, love, love, her classes!"
-GINGER GRIMM, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I love Shanan's voice. It's so calming and peaceful. I rarely have to look up to see a pose, I can just listen to her voice guide me to the next position. I love her yoga flows, but my favorite is the restorative yoga class. "

"Shanan is a wonderful teacher that makes you feel very comfortable no matter your skill level. I always feel ready to conquer the day after class."
-MARY TOOMEY, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"Shanan's classes are so relaxing, down-to-earth and stress free. She encourages each student to make your yoga practice "your own". I love the challenging poses. I consider her classes an essential part of my workout routine. My energy level has increased and aging aches and pains decreased since attending her classes regularly. My experience has been life changing. I feel younger after each and every class. Highly recommend."
