About
Heather Suarez
Hi, I'm Heather. I began Pinedale Wellness as a continuation of my journey with yoga after realizing the profound effect my personal practice had beyond my mat. I endeavor to bring these skills to others seeking a more fulfilling, health-focused life.
Every individual will have unique desires for a full and healthy life. For me, I hope to foster deep connections with my family and actively embrace the great outdoors for many years to come. For others, it might include finding gratitude or happiness in daily activities, participating more fully in meaningful relationships, or reducing blood pressure or metabolic disease to become more active.
I take an approach that is based in both tradition and science to align goals and values with practices and habits that enable each person to move toward the life they want to live.
In my free time, I love to get outside with my family, cook and eat with gusto. Some of my favorite activities are paddleboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and, of course, practicing yoga.
