Heidi Robinson

Heidi Robinson is a qualified Myotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience working alongside physiotherapists and clinical Pilates experts. She has assisted many people suffering from soft tissue injury, pain, and dysfunction.

Over the years, she became aware of the limitations of her modality and its ability to help her clients more holistically, as she noticed that other aspects of their lives were undoubtedly contributing to their inability to heal fully and have lasting results. Repeating patterns, chronic tension, stress, overwhelm, illness and anxiety were a common presentation coinciding with their muscular symptoms. 

In 2010, Heidi certified as a Bikram Yoga teacher. A style of yoga that deeply resonated with her - highly structured, simple, safe, and inclusive for everyone, no matter how broken one may feel. It was the perfect complement for her bodywork career, expanding her experience of the mind-body connection and deepening her own journey of self- awareness and growth. Heidi currently teaches at The Yoga Garage in Scarborough, Western Australia and you can expect her classes to be a strong dialogue-led class blended with present, intuitive instruction on alignment and modification as well as always encouraging gentleness, self-awareness and self-reflection.

​

In 2020 Heidi discovered Anandi Sano and joined the Sano Academy to learn, practice and integrate the teachings of the Peiec Methodology into everyday life. It is a unique pathway to discover the workings of her own system and how it interacts with another and the world around her. Her sensitivity, perception and self-awareness has deepened over time and this completely transforms the way she lives. 

​

"Peiec is founded on the understanding that the human system is interconnected – body, energetic system, emotions, intellect, and consciousness continuously influencing how a person experiences life, health, relationships, and themselves. Rather than targeting isolated symptoms or forcing outcomes, peiec® works directly with the whole system through specific techniques and structured sequences. As the system changes, life changes with it." - Anandi Sano

​

Heidi has had a huge amount of change personally since meeting Anandi and starting her journey within the Sano Academy. 

​

"As my whole system is changing, my life begins to unfold in the most amazing ways (in no apparent order):

 - Increased capacity to handle change, challenge or to get stuff done.

 - Increased awareness of myself: pausing before speaking/responding, deciding whether my words are really necessary, seeing judgement or criticism rise within me. Leading with compassion.

 - Increased awareness of others: hearing/seeing/feeling beyond the words spoken.

 - More acceptance of self and others. More patience, gentleness, empathy and compassion.

 - Decreased reactivity and defensiveness.

 - Less need to be heard, seen, liked or understood.

 - Increased awareness of being triggered and how my body/mind responds in that moment.

 - My body feels lighter, more open. There is ease in movement and less pain.

 - More awareness in each moment. Presence: Slowing down, taking in nature’s beauty. Observing more colour, textures, smells, animals, temperatures etc

 - Non-judgement

 - Non-attachment: to things, to people, to situations, to my expectations of what I thought my life would be, or needed to be.

 - Decreased health anxiety and parenting fears.

 - Greater connection to Self/Source: Im so grateful that I have found a way that resonates for me. 

 - I experience periods of contentment, stillness and peace daily.

 - Decreased mental chatter and negative self-talk.

 - More confident and stronger with boundaries: I stay away from drama, as well as toxic people and places.

 - More present and connected with my children as well as when I teach and practice yoga.

 - More harmony in relationships.

 - Better communication : more gentle, more clarity, more capacity, more awareness.

 - Decreased need to ‘fix’ or help everyone.

 - Decreased material desire/need/expectation.

 - Increased gratitude.

 - Honouring of self, self-respect, self-accountability : Calm acceptance.

 - Unafraid to be myself." - Heidi Robinson

This is an extensive list which doesn't even cover everything unseen that has shifted like cellular changes, organ system healing, nor the extent of the ripple effect that flows to her family and beyond. It really is a very special pathway that has opened up her system enough to create all this change for herself, as well as giving her an opportunity to be able to support others in a way she never thought possible.

Now when Heidi works with others, either with her integrative bodywork or when teaching yoga her approach is very different. She is very gentle and presence-based. The whole human structure is considered and she can offer a more holistic approach to addressing body pain, tension and other symptoms with far more than just hands-on muscle release. ​
