Honor Yoga Plano | Our Team

Megan Huff is the owner of Honor Yoga Plano, RYT-200 certified and carries the following certifications - Certified Children’s Yoga Teacher (CCYT), Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher (CPYT), Certified Specials Needs Yoga Teacher, Certified Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher, Certified Sky Aerial Yoga Teacher and Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).

With almost 10 years in the industry, she made the transition to teaching yoga full time soon after the birth of her daughter and hasn't looked back since. Since taking over ownership of Honor Yoga Plano, it has been her greatest joy to create a true sense of community at the studio - somewhere where anyone can feel welcomed and seen. You can find her in our aerial studio teaching classes several times a week and in the main studio catching classes whenever she can!

Heather Hopper was introduced to yoga in 1997 and became a dedicated practitioner in 2002. Encouraged by her teachers, she began teaching in 2006 while working as a third-grade educator, offering after-school yoga classes for colleagues and children. In 2007, Heather completed her 200-hour teacher training with Alpha Omega Yoga in Dallas under Sheri Cherokee and Rogelio Chapa. By 2010, she left the elementary classroom to pursue yoga teaching full-time, working with adults, children, and children with special needs and learning differences.

Yoga has profoundly shaped Heather’s outlook on life, helping her grow not only as a teacher, but as a colleague, partner, and person. She teaches with honesty, humor, and heart, and credits her ongoing practice with making her a better mother to her son—who she considers her greatest teacher.

Heather is an E-RYT 500, RCYT, and YACEP registered with Yoga Alliance and has held an RYT-200 certification since 2007. Her extensive training includes Prenatal/Postnatal Yoga, Yin, Restorative, Therapeutic and Trauma-Informed Yoga, Chair Yoga, Heavyweight Yoga, Yoga for the Special Child, Children’s and Family Yoga, Pilates, Meditation, Mindfulness, Aromatherapy, and Reiki. She also holds a BFA and an Elementary Teaching Certificate with a specialization in learning differences and spectrum disorders. Heather teaches group classes, private sessions, corporate clients, workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats throughout the North Dallas and Plano areas. She believes deeply that “yoga is for every body,” and strives to make her classes accessible, supportive, and sustaining for her community.

Joshua is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, certified Sound Healer, and Reiki II practitioner with training in Hatha and Yin yoga, meditation, and breathwork. His classes emphasize slow, intentional movement and conscious breathing, offering a grounded and accessible practice for all levels. With a steady and supportive teaching style, he focuses on nervous system regulation, mobility, and mindful awareness, creating space for students to move without force and reconnect with their bodies in a sustainable way.

Drawn equally to stillness and vibration, Joshua’s work naturally extends beyond movement into the therapeutic use of sound. His sound baths are shaped by the same principles found in his yoga teaching—presence, pacing, and deep listening—offering participants a space for rest, clarity, and emotional release. Blending acoustic and electronic sound, he works with gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, chimes, synthesizers, and other harmonic instruments to create immersive environments that support regulation and restoration. This integrated path reflects a long-standing interest in how breath, movement, and sound each offer distinct yet complementary ways to support balance, resilience, and well-being.

Melissa is a 200 CYT who completed her training through Honor Yoga Plano. Yoga became an essential part of Melissa’s life as a way to balance physical training with recovery and self-connection. As a runner and active mom, she values movement that is integrated into a complete lifestyle.

Her body therapist background has given her a deep understanding of the human body, shaping a thoughtful and compassionate approach to movement. Guided by a long-standing passion for fitness, she emphasizes safe, intentional practices that support strength, mobility, and overall well-being.

Sandra is a RYT 500–hour certified yoga instructor, accredited by Yoga Alliance, and a F.L.Y. Aerial Yoga teacher at The Yogi Treehouse and Honor Yoga. In 2023, she completed her 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training with Albina and Roger Rippy. She is deeply grateful for the opportunity to study the Yoga Sutras with Ricky Tran and explore functional anatomy with Robert Boustany.

Sandra’s yoga journey began over 17 years ago, evolving naturally from Pilates. What started as a physically focused practice gradually became a path to personal liberation, offering tools for deeper self-connection and inner awareness. Meditation is an essential part of her daily life, and she believes breathwork and mindful awareness are the foundation of a truly embodied yoga practice—both on and off the mat.

Aerial yoga is Sandra’s latest passion. She teaches aerial flow, skillfully blending classical yoga postures with hammock-supported techniques to create a sense of lightness, support, and exploration.

Sandra lives by the philosophy that every time we step onto the mat is an opportunity to begin again. She finds great joy in holding space for her students and sharing the transformative, joyful experience of yoga.

Susan is a 500 RYT and has been teaching yoga since 2005. She came to yoga when it helped her recover from a sports injury. She is passionate at helping others recover and feel good in their bodies and minds; and discovering for themselves the multitude of benefits that a consistent yoga practice can bring, not to just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. She likes to bring joy, safety, knowledge, and a deeper connection to her classes.

She is a certified Yoga, Yin, Barre, and Pilates teacher, as well as holding additional certifications in mobility, TRX, group X, row, cycling, martial arts, and kickboxing. She is excited to bring her passion for life and all things yoga to Honor Yoga Plano.

Umashree is an ERYT- 500 and has been teaching yoga since 2012. She takes great pride in having had the opportunity to introduce yoga to many of her students who have become avid yoga practitioners.

Her favorite style is Gentle yoga and she guides her students into deeper awareness of their bodies using safe and intelligent movements so that they experience the benefit of a balanced yoga practice.

Umashree is an Ayurveda Wellness Counselor and believes that yoga should be practiced according to the energy of the season. She also believes that any yoga practice should prepare and lead the individual to a meditative state.

Vanessa Rogers is a 500-hour Yoga Alliance registered teacher who has been sharing her passion for yoga with the North Texas community since 2016. With training in Vinyasa, Yin, and Aerial yoga, she blends strength, mindfulness, and spiritual depth into each class. She’s also a certified SmartSpine Practitioner, with a keen focus on healthy movement and body awareness.

Vanessa’s teaching is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and continued learning — drawing from studies in Ayurveda, trauma-informed practices, and a love of both stillness and play. Her hope is that students leave class feeling balanced, centered, and more connected to themselves — on and off the mat.

Yana completed 200 hr. Yoga Teacher Training with Ricky Tran and Deanna Shires and is a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher. Additionally she has attended four 3 day intensive ashtanga workshops: David Swenson (2015), Keno MacGregor (2017) and David Williams (2016, 2019). In 2017 she completed a 50 hr. Vinyasa Krama certification with Ricky Tran. In 2018 she attended a 20 hour yoga anatomy workshop, and in 2019 50 hr. Mindfulness Certification Training at Dallas Yoga Center.

Yana’s yoga journey began in 2006 as a search for physical wellness, but quickly unfolded into a deep connection with the body, mind, and spirit. She views yoga as a moving meditation — a blend of breath, strength, flexibility, and introspection — that offers lasting benefits both on and off the mat.

Since 2014, Yana has been sharing this passion in the studio through mindful vinyasa, power, slow flow, gentle yoga, and meditation classes. Her approach welcomes beginners while offering depth for those seeking a challenge, always rooted in the transformational potential of the practice.
