Today we’d like to introduce you to Chrissie Heath
Hi Chrissie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
From the moment I started dancing as an extracurricular and competitive activity as a child, I found a unique way to express myself and connect with others. Dance became my language, a means to convey my deepest emotions and spiritual essence. It was through this art form that I first experienced the powerful fusion of bodies and spirits in space.
As I grew older, I discovered yoga—a practice that resonated with my spirit and complemented my love for movement. Yoga offered a harmonious blend of physical and spiritual principles, prompting me to dive deeper into its study. Alongside yoga, I explored other practices like tarot and astrology, which further enriched my journey.
After earning my master’s degree and working in a conventional office setting, I realized that the sterile environment was not nurturing my spirit. It became clear that my true calling was to create a space where spirituality and movement could thrive together. This led me to develop the concept for Arcana Yoga.
Arcana Yoga is a community where people can come together to explore and deepen their yogic practice and spiritual connection. I’m excited to invite others to join me in this journey towards greater harmony and shared personal growth.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting Arcana Yoga has been an incredible journey, but like anything worth pursuing, it hasn’t come without its challenges. As a young, first-time sole proprietor, navigating the complexities of opening and running a business has often felt overwhelming. There were many moments when the path seemed anything but smooth.
Throughout this process, my favorite mantra, “Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha,” has been my guiding light. This prayer to Ganesha is about removing obstacles and paving the way for a smoother journey, and it has been a source of strength and clarity for me.
One of my biggest struggles has been battling self-doubt, but I’ve been fortunate to have the unwavering support of my incredible community, family, and friends. Their encouragement and belief in me have been instrumental in overcoming the obstacles and keeping me on track. Despite the hurdles, the journey of creating Arcana Yoga has been profoundly rewarding, and I’m grateful for every step along the way.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I personally specialize in offering a blend of yoga classes and individual tarot readings.
What I’m most passionate about is fostering a community centered around authentic spiritual practices, where everyone can find a safe and supportive space for personal growth. Arcana Yoga is unique in that it integrates a variety of healing modalities—yoga, tarot, breathwork, sound healing, reiki, and astrology, etc—into a cohesive and evolving experience.
What sets me apart is my commitment to creating an inclusive environment where these diverse practices come together seamlessly. Rather than overwhelming our community with choices, we present these modalities in a way that is natural and accessible. When you step into Arcana Yoga, you immediately sense a place of belonging and acceptance, where everyone is welcomed and valued. I’m incredibly proud of building a space that truly embraces and nurtures all who walk through its doors.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
For me, the most important qualities contributing to my success are authenticity, loving-kindness, and a commitment to building community. Authenticity ensures that every aspect of Arcana Yoga reflects my genuine self and values, creating a space where people feel truly seen and understood. Loving-kindness drives me to approach each person with compassion and empathy, fostering an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported. Most importantly, my dedication to building community creates a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where individuals can grow together and connect on a deeper level. These qualities are at the heart of what I do and are fundamental to the success and warmth of Arcana Yoga.
