Heidi Siwik


South Side Studio Manager


I first came to Amazing Yoga in the spring of 2008 upon the recommendation of a friend who had recently become my supervisor at work. He expressed concern because my job was causing me stress to the point that I felt depleted and my normally spunky personality was overwhelmed by angst. I was a bit skeptical of his recommendation because I was exercising daily and I figured that I was already getting as much stress relief as I could from the high-impact, boot-camp style routines I had been doing.  Never would I have imagined the calmness that I felt as I waited to exit the crowded Shadyside studio after that first practice, despite being drenched in my own sweat.

After practicing weekly for several months, I decided that I wanted to make a bigger commitment to my practice so I joined the work exchange team when the South Side studio opened. This was a great opportunity for me to make yoga a higher priority and to get to know the community. I began managing for the South Side studio in December 2011.

I received my degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 2004. During the day I work for a high-tech, vacuum science and technology company in the Pittsburgh area as an Applications Manager in the Materials Division. I live in the south hills with my husband and two dogs. Those who know me best would describe me as friendly, energetic, silly, and happy. I love life in general but especially enjoy music, the outdoors, and traveling. I am so thrilled to be a part of the Amazing Yoga team.
