About Heather Monthie, PhD

Founder of Yoga Strength Academy | High-Performance Coach | Behavior Change Expert

As a high-performance leadership coach, yoga teacher, and certified personal trainer, I help high-achieving individuals integrate yoga, mindset, and recovery into their daily lives to train your minds, strengthen your body, and lead from within.

With over 25 years of experience in education, technology, and wellness, I’ve worked with thousands of people to develop resilience, clarity, and consistency, without sacrificing their health in the process.

At Yoga Strength Academy, I combine movement, mobility, flexibility, and recovery into a yoga-based system designed for real life. This isn’t yoga to get bendy (although getting bendier IS a side effect), it’s yoga for high performers who want strength that lasts.

What I Teach:

Through my programs and workshops, I coach men and women to integrate the principles of yoga and behavioral science into their leadership strategy. Core focus areas include:

• Leading with calm under pressure

• Nervous system regulation for sharper decision-making

• Sustainable habit formation for long-term performance

• Mindful communication and presence

• Energy management in a hyperconnected world

I know firsthand how hard it can be to balance well-being with professional ambition, and I’m here to make that journey both achievable and deeply empowering.

I’m the founder of the Yoga Strength Academy, where we combine yoga wisdom and modern science to help high performers build strong bodies, clear minds, and sustainable habits without the fluff. It’s practical, grounded, and designed for real life.

Through a blend of yoga, nutrition, energy work, and nervous system-informed leadership practices, I guide you in building a resilient mind, a strong body, and a grounded presence so you can thrive in all areas of life.

My Core Belief:

True leadership starts within. When we align our minds, bodies, and daily choices with our values, we create lasting strength and lead with clarity in every area of life.

Whether you’re here to explore yoga beyond the poses, build confidence through movement, reset your energy, or reclaim your clarity and focus, I’m honored to walk alongside you.

Let’s breathe, move, and lead from within… together.
