WENDY HELLER HERMAN: OWNER YOGA CONNECTION
Wendy Herman co-founded Yoga Connection in South Florida in 2002, together with her business partner and first yoga teacher Jimmy Barkan, and has used her experience as a New York and Florida commercial real estate attorney to handle the operations of the studio. Having worn a back brace for four years as a teenager, Wendy began having complications from scoliosis and osteoporosis in her 30's and was informed of the benefits of yoga. In 1997, she began practicing Hot Yoga with Jimmy Barkan and her life changed completely. A slow process, Wendy improved the pain in her back, gained strength and flexibility that she never imagined, and increased her bone density. Wendy credits Jimmy Barkan with introducing her to the amazing system of yoga and she credits her improvement to Jimmy and all of the amazing teachers that instruct at Yoga Connection. Wendy’s own scoliosis lead her to become a registered yoga teacher, multi-style, completing both her 200 hour Teacher’s Training with Yoga Connection’s Bea Raydo, and the Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher’s Training with Elise Browning Miller.
Wendy is thrilled to have brought intricate Back Care and Yoga for Scoliosis instruction to South Florida. Having experienced the fear of back bracing as a child, Wendy brings a uniquely personal and heartfelt understanding to children and students with scoliosis and to all students who wish to keep their spines healthy, flexible and strong.
