About Heather

Yoga Tribe is one of the top 10 yoga studios in the state of MN, offering a variety of styles of yoga taught by highly trained and experienced teachers.

It is our goal at Yoga Tribe to create an inclusive community where ALL feel welcome, valued, and seen. We love working with beginners who are new to the practice, to build strength and flexibilty. We love working with all levels of yoga students looking for stress management. AND we love working with experienced yogis who want to deepen their practice.

Heather Ritenour-Sampson is the owner of Yoga Tribe yoga studio. She is a 500 hour certified yoga instructor, and has been teaching in the Rochester community for over 10 years. Her background of 15+ years as a massage therapist gives her deep insight into proper alignment, stress relief, and self-care techniques, while her experience as a soccer player and coach helps her encourage students to claim their empowerment with more strength, vitality, and self-respect.

Heather has many years of experience providing group yoga classes, small group sessions, and private instruction, as well as leading corporate classes, special events and workshops. She has also headlined events as a speaker and guest teacher. Heather also travels the world to study with and assist her teacher, yoga master and global activist Shiva Rea.

I started practicing yoga as a way to find some stress relief from the effects of being a new mom! It wasn't long after I started practicing that I notice some teachers would show up late, or would not teach poses with proper alignment, and sometimes wouldn't show up at all! So I went into the office of the health club where I was practicing, and asked what I had to do to be a teacher! I took a short weekend certification program, and then was connected with a mentor who worked with me over several months to learn the ropes of becoming a yoga teacher.

What I discovered, was that as a massage therapist, I loved to bring healing to people, but I could only do it ONE person at a time. As a yoga teacher, I could bring healing to many people at once! This was so exciting for me, and as a very kinesthetic person, who needs to MOVE to process LIFE, teaching yoga was the perfect fit for me! I've been teaching for over 10 years, and I have loved every minute of it!

I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher, the highest level of certification recognized by the Yoga Alliance. I have 10+ years of experience teaching and practicing yoga. I also have 15 years experience as a certified massage therapist, which provides a solid background for understanding a successful client care model. I've worked with a variety of injuries/illnesses both as a massage therapist and a yoga teacher. I am also a soccer player and coach, which supports my ability to help athletes improve their performance and recovery, as well as to support a student's desire to acquire more strength and stamina. I have also invested in years of mentorship with a life and business coach, which gives me a platform to understand and see the "big picture" of how our goals on our yoga mat reflect our larger values and needs.

About the lesson

We start with a consultation -- either by phone or in person -- to find out more about what the new student's needs and goals are, and then we create a plan to meet those goals.

I have literally worked with ALL kinds of students. I've worked with people with specific health issues, I've worked with athletes, and I've worked with all the ranges of folks who come into a health club setting and want to practice yoga -- from very new beginners, to very advanced yogis looking to take their practice to the next level.

Look for someone who is certified and has extensive experience in the field. There are MANY new yoga teachers out there offering yoga, but they may not have the depth of experience and understanding to really give you what you need. You also want to feel an innate sense of trust, AND autonomy! You don't want a teacher who pities you or seems to have all the answers! The process should feel collaborative and intuitive! There should be a personal connection, and also a sense that this person can take you where you want to go!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do I really want? How do I want to FEEL? What in my life, health, etc. isn't working right now? What are my expectations? Am I willing to make this commitment, and do the work that needs to be done to create the change I desire? Am I willing to make this investment in myself, and say yes to being a part of my own healing journey? What is my end goal, and what feels realistic right now? Am I willing to be patient? Am I willing to do what it takes?
