Happy Valentine's Day to YOU, wherever you are!

You don't need to have someone special for this holiday for this holiday to have meaning. I know it's been said before, but it's true - you have your self, and, your Self.

Remember that you are loved by the Source of Unconditional Love. You are an example of love through your actions, words, and thoughts. Let's spread the love wide.

Head's Up: This Sunday is Maha Shivaratri, a special day devoted to celebrting Lord Shiva. Shiva is known as the god of destruction, but people forget that the destruction is purposeful - it's to facilitate transformation. Shiva is all about letting go for transformation and rebirth.

Yogis in India stay up all night meditating on Shiva, chanting mantras in his honor, fasting, and even dancing since he is known as the Lord of Dance.

How auspicious that this Sunday evening I am leading a Mantra and Meditation session where we will be chanting one of his most powerful mantras, the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. If you are in Los Angeles, come join us. This is a perfect way to honor Maha Shivaratri, and, to also heal your self in all ways.

If you are not able to join us, check out my On Demand Library where I have a number of meditations and even a vinyasa flow class weaving this mantra into the practice.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra brings healing from pain and suffering. You do it for yourself, and then, you direct your intentions for others whom you know need help. This is how we practice, for our self, and then for the greater collective.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is from the ancient Vedas. Repeating it is known to bring relief from pain and suffering. One can chant it for healing the body or mental duress. One can also direct the positive effects towards another person or group of people.

You are invited to join me this Sunday evening to chant this mantra 108 times (the length of a meditation mala) for universal healing. When we gather as a collective and bring our voices together, it creates a vibration that can transform difficulty. You will feel a difference, it's like magic and goodness all wrapped into one.

Come as you are. I will offer handouts that you can keep. I'll guide you through it all. It is a positive thing to that you can do, it really does help.

The root of anger, anxiety, depression, conflict, and basically any negative emotions is FEAR.

The only main antidote to fear is - LOVE.

Love is not something to be tossed around as a fluffy emotion. Love is powerful. Love manages to remain steady through difficult times. Love listens instead of reacting. Love seeks common ground in the midst of conflict. Love fills while the negative emotions empty and eventually harm. Love is a peaceful warrior's path, it takes courage and a softening of the ego to fully embody its strength.

In honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day Holiday, come join me in practices that will fill and touch your heart. When the heart is full, it only knows one thing, to share its goodness with others.

And join me this Sunday for a special Mantra and Meditation class. You will learn a very healing mantra (I give handouts that you get to keep) and we chant it over and over. The experience is super cool and will change the frequency of your body and mind. You can also dedicate the practice to others. These days, there are a lot of people who need our support. This is one way of helping that really does work.

to the first retreat I lead with Shama Retreats in the most southern part of Spain in 2023. We had a lovely group of people from around the globe who instantly gelled, many becoming dear friends.

That retreat was full of laughter - in the yoga room, on the hikes, and at the exquisite vegetarian meals which felt like decadence.

In fact, it was on one of the hikes where we walked through a chunk of forest. People were encouraged to find their own spot in the area, next to their own tree, and just sit and listen, or meditate, whatever. It was so healing, I knew that I wanted to offer more of this forest healing in the future.

This year's retreat will be another collaboration with Shama Retreats, which guarantees care, quality food, amazing nature, and lots of yoga and meditation. Plus, now we will have more time to be healed by the surrounding forest. There is still space, come join fabulous souls like these for your heart to be filled.

Pardon my passion, but in preparation for the upcoming Power of Pranayama training, I am geeking out on the nuances of breath which are actually, quite serious.

How you breathe affects your whole life. And when you learn to improve the function of the Respiratory System, then your whole life can improve. And that still leaves all kinds of wonderful information on Prana!

Come join me for this really fascinating training. Even if you take it on demand, which many are doing, it's going to offer information that you can apply right away.

I learned on Thursday that a blessed teacher, Rolf Sovic from the Himalayan Institute passed away. My heart broke with the news, while at the same time it became filled with appreciation and love for this wonderful being.

When I was new in the Sri Vidya lineage and working with my first mantra (back to 2001-2-ish) I kept feeling sad and angry thoughts arise in the practice. Sometimes I would be so filled with tears that I didn't think I could do a whole mala. I must be doing it wrong, I thought. There must be something wrong with me.

Then, while at HI, I approached Rolf because I felt that it might be safe to reveal my flaws with him, that he wouldn't judge nor blame me too much. When I shared my struggle he said the most amazing thing: "I know. We all go through that feeling of sadness and anger. It's normal. Just remember, while continuing the practice, that there is a place in your heart that does not ever feel sorrow or negativity. Try to go to that place with your practice."

Wow. I had never, ever heard a teacher talk about their personal struggle in reference to their practice. They only presented the success and I didn't think I could ever meet their standards. His words were a gentle holding of acceptance for my aching heart.

There is a place in my heart that will never know sadness or loss, it is full of abundant joy. From that place I celebrate you, Rolf. Thank you for this and everything that you gave, tirelessly, and generously. May we all connect with you from the depth of our hearts, where you continues to shine.

Tomorrow (Sunday, 2/1) I’m offering a FREE Ta**ra Flow Yoga class, open to everyone. No strings attached.

Our focus will be deep, conscious breathing, the essential ingredient for calming the nervous system and restoring steadiness from within. When you learn to stay connected to your breath — even in challenging moments — everything shifts. Strength, clarity, and resilience naturally arise.

This class is my offering during a time when many of us are feeling stretched and stressed. Come practice together, breathe deeply, and connect with a community of kind, like-minded souls. There is real power in shared breath and collective intention.

Can’t join live? No problem. The class will be recorded and sent to everyone who registers — so you can practice at your convenience.

Oh Hi!

Who wants to get away to a restored medieval country house in the heart of Spain for a retreat filled with luxurious yoga and meditation practices?

Who wants to dine on gourmet vegetarian food, bask in the sun by the pool, and be spoiled in the in-house spa?

Who wants to go on hikes and walks in the lush countryside and have your nerves soothed by the trees in the forest?

Who wants to re-connect with friends and make new, dear ones?

All of this, and more, can be yours at the upcoming yoga retreat, just outside Barcelona, Spain. People are signing up, which is exciting, and I'd love for you to join us too!

This could be your light at the end of the 2026 winter tunnel. We need hope, and things to look forward to, through these times.

Come join me for your own chance to heal, grow, and expand.

About Jeanne

Background

Jeanne Heileman specializes in discovering the needs of an individual and gently guiding each student to their own grace and balance. She creates a safe haven for students to dive deep, find their edge, and transform. Jeanne teaches with sensitivity, generosity of spirit and a good dose of humor. Founder of Ta**ra Flow Yoga, Jeanne brings together her years of studies and teaching skills into a style of yoga inclusive of asana, Ayurveda, mindfulness, with the added focus of the poses’ energy. She was introduced to yoga as a dancer and actress. Facing ongoing pain from scoliosis, yoga allows her tools for physical realignment and acceptance of difficulties. In her quest for a deep and meaningful connect with all that yoga has to offer, she studied extensively in Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara, ParaYoga, Vini and Trantra Yoga; each adding a deeper element of meaning to her practice and teachings. Jeanne – 500-ERYT, ParaYoga Level II certified teacher, YogaWorks senior teacher – tours internationally teaching teacher trainings, workshops, and retreats.

Teachings

Jeanne’s teaching grew immediately and soon she was teaching a full schedule at various studios all over Los Angeles and privately. She spent almost every weekend in a yoga workshop, learning from the most advanced teachers visiting the L.A. area. In addition to visiting teachers, Jeanne studied for extended periods of time with a number of senior teachers. Erich Schiffmann guided her to soften when she was fresh out of training and tried to make her students look “Iyengar-perfect” before they were ready. Gary Kraftsow taught her the value of Vini Yoga as a tool for therapeutics, and also as a means to advance a practice by working from the inside-out. After ten years of trying, she finally developed a love of Iyengar Yoga and began studying closely with Karin O’Bannon, Tias Little, Kofi Busia, Elise Browning Miller and now Lisa Walford. Desiree Rumbaugh taught her the possibilities of poses for all people through Anusara Yoga and introduced her to John Friend. Then she finally met Yogarupa Rod Stryker who taught a workshop blending alignment similar to Anusara Yoga with inner energy cultivation similar to Vini Yoga, adding some deep philosophy and wisdom not available anywhere else at the time. In 1999 Jeanne decided to study with Rod Stryker for her second teacher training.
