About MJ
MJ Heart is the Owner/Operator of Palo Santo Yoga & Wellness in South Philadelphia.
She specializes in subtle-body energetics, alignment-based yoga practices, & creative vinyasa flow. Her style of teaching cultivates a moving practice of mind-body awareness, encourages inner strength through physical endurance, and ultimately enables her students to experience a deeper connection to the inner Self as well as the ability to consciously honor & acknowledge the power of the present moment.
In addition to yoga, MJ has devoted over 20+ years of her life to pursuing her natural gift of healing, lightbody activation, and intuitive abilities. Though her first teacher came in the guise of her Grandfather in childhood, since her early teens she has been formally trained and certified in multiple forms of movement medicine, massage, bodywork, energy-work, and additional healing modalities such as Deep Muscle Massage, Swedish Massage, Thai Bodywork, Acupressure + Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Aromatherapy, Reiki Mastery, Qi Healing, Crystal Therapy, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, as well as studying Soul Integration, Numerology, and Herbalism.
MJ’s approach to healing starts with the awareness that to be a human is a fragile thing. The greatest strength we possess is to honor that on some level - we are all healing and working towards a greater aspect of our own being. The journey of Self-Love is one of the greatest acts of service to the greater good of all humanity.
My Philosophy
Every day that we wake up, we are different from the day before… as dynamic, fluid beings, our spiritual practices should be encouraged to reflect that ever-evolving aspect of ourselves.
As a Yoga Teacher, Spiritual Leader, and Intuitive Healer, I offer you safety and security, I offer you the contemplation of finding spaces within the self that need to be activated or released, I offer you the opportunity to express yourself as the unique human being that you are - without trying to compare or compete with anyone else, because you are whole, you are holy - in the present moment of your own being.
I believe that there is not a single “right way” to reach for enlightenment, nor is there just “one way” or “one path” towards living in a more conscious manner. Our world is filled with a multitude of offerings and aspects, from many religions and philosophies, many lineages and cultures - through the process of integrating our individual beliefs, habits, practices, and rituals, we can embrace the creative power of Source that unites us through our Diversity.
You are a divine piece of the cosmic puzzle existing in flesh, and blood, and bone. Listen to the breath moving in and out of your lungs, feel the rhythm of your heart beating deep within your chest. There are thousands of generations that have evolved through chaos and turmoil only to exist in your very essence to resonate deep Love and Grace. You are alive, you are present, and you are here for a reason. If you ever forget that, it is my intention to remind you of your Divinity and your integral place within the Universal Whole.
