Since 2014, Nature Yoga Teacher Training has guided women on a journey of deep remembering - through the teachings of yoga, Ayurveda, and sacred sisterhood.
Whether you feel called to become a certified yoga teacher or are simply ready to reconnect with your essence, this space was created for you.
Rooted in the rhythms of nature and nourished by a lineage of loving friendship and wise feminine leadership, our programs honor the inner healer, the independent spirit, and the creative soul who longs to live in harmony with the Earth and herself.
Heidi Grace began this work in 2014 alongside beloved mentors and friends, offering her first 200-hour YTT at Selva Armonia in Costa Rica. Since then, Nature Yoga has expanded to include online trainings, in-person retreats, and advanced immersions, with contributions from master teachers in:
Heidi Grace’s journey began not in a studio, but in a longing - for connection, for authenticity, for a way of life that made sense. After a decade in Chicago wondering why she didn’t quite fit in, she returned to her Northern Michigan roots and co-founded a community art center. That spark lit the path: creating spaces for others who also felt different, sensitive, wildly wise, and deeply intuitive.
Nature Yoga was born as a refuge for introverts, creatives, nature lovers, and truth seekers - those who often feel like misfits in modern life but who, in sacred community, come alive.
One of the most cherished reflections we hear from students is this:
“I’ve never felt more free to be my whole self.”
Each training becomes a healing container, where old stories are released, voices are reclaimed, and students feel seen, safe, and celebrated. This is not just about learning poses—it’s about becoming whole.

Gayatrī Mantra
Translation by Rolf Sovik
Om Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ
Tat Savitūr Vareṇyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi
Dhiyo Yo Naḥ Prachodayāt Om.
In each of the three planes of existence, we recall within ourselves and meditate upon that wondrous Spirit of the Divine Solar Being; may [s]he guide our inner vision.
"This is more than your typical Yoga Training. After finishing Teacher Training with Heidi Grace and her incredible group of guest instructors, I have not only started on a life-long yogic path, but joined a group of wonderful, supportive, knowledgeable, inquisitive, patient, and empathetic sisters who have met me where I am at with respect and without judgement.
If you are looking to deepen your knowledge with Teacher Training, Nature Yoga’s instructors and programs are incredible."
~Amanda, 2024 graduate
