About

Heather Wakeley received her doctorate in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008. Her PhD thesis, “Alternative transportation fuels: Infrastructure requirements and environmental impacts for ethanol and hydrogen,” evaluates infrastructure requirements for ethanol and hydrogen as alternative fuels to petroleum. She is currently working in a consulting capacity to help develop affordable housing built to some of today’s highest energy efficiency standards. During her PhD, she started a yoga practice that helped keep her balanced. From that experience, and a desire to share the benefits of yoga with others, she opened her first power yoga studio in 2009, and now owns and operates two studios.
