My story

Hello, I’m Helen.

I’ve always loved to move. As a child I was always outdoors, upside down or under water. But moving with intention and breath was never part of my practice until my early twenties. I found solace on the mat whilst I was still partying, and as life changed, I realised I’d rather be on my mat than out until 4am. It became a way of moving out of the thinking mind and into the body. The physical side of the practice was my main gateway in, experimenting with many different styles over the years.

In my early thirties, after an intense corporate role left me feeling a little lost and stuck, I did my 200-hour training. Not long after, I moved to Amsterdam and completed a few more trainings in lockdown. I returned to the UK, moved to Brighton, and discovered a deeper, more spiritual path. My practice evolved, feeling a pull towards more embodied movement and meditative practices, more recently including non-dual Shaiva Tantra.

We are constantly evolving beings, always changing and growing, shedding and becoming, and I now feel a pull towards a quieter, simpler life centred around more being and less doing, like so many others.

My classes are a blend of strong, embodied and intuitive practices that uplift and inspire, with a sprinkling of playfulness. I am passionate about creating connection and community in the corporate world and beyond. I am also an advocate for social activism, fundraising for people and causes that are close to my heart.

I’m currently covering classes in London (follow my Instagram for details), and teach a weekly Embodied Flow on Zoom. I’m also planning a retreat in Portugal next year, so stay tuned for more information!

I hope to move, breathe and connect with you soon.

What I stand for

Honour where you are

Come as you are, whatever that looks like. There is always a variation or a modification, and a different way of accessing a pose without losing the awareness of the breath.

Move intuitively

Mindful, breath-led flow that slowly moves from one pose to the next, creating space and cultivating awareness.

Show up with integrity

I want my work in the wellness space to reflect my values and how I hope to be of service, through an open-hearted, ever-evolving community.

Training

Always a student

I have been training with some incredible teachers since 2019 and I am full of gratitude for their care, attention and wisdom.

The practice beneath the poses

Movement rooted in non-dual wisdom

Asana is the doorway, not the destination. There are many yoga lineages and traditions, and Non-dual Shaiva Tantra is a practice I am inspired by, and it quietly runs through my classes and offerings.

Non-dual Shaiva Tantra

A philosophy of wholeness: nothing is separate from the sacred, including the body, the breath and the everyday, imperfect parts of life. Grateful to my teachers, Gea Krajcer and Tova Olsson and imparting their wisdom of this tradition and how to live in a more meaningful way, with the divine.

Helen, I absolutely love your classes. You are a fabulous teacher. I was so grateful for your support when I came back after long-term sickness.
