Helen is a Yoga Alliance USA certified instructor having trained with Sattva Yoga Academy, Rishikesh, India, guided by her guru Anand Mehrotra and the Master Teachers on their 200 hour teacher training programme.

The practice of Ashtanga, Iyenga and Sattva helped her navigate through some very dark days when going through the menopause and the trauma of 2 Achilles reattachment surgical procedures. But it was through the transformative and healing power of Sattva Yoga, that the need to share this practice and help others reconnect and maintain inner strength became her catalyst to train as a teacher.

She uses traditional yoga - Sattva Integrated Practice - as a balancing and healing tool for the huge amount of stress the body and mind endure when dealing with the unpredictability of life.

Her mantra is very much the Sattva way “acknowledge where your body is at and grow from there.” So this this beautiful practice is for everyone.

Helen is also a professional actress and dancer having trained at Guildford School of Acting and has been in the performing arts industry for over 30 years; and a drama youth theatre leader for the past 20 years working with young people at her youth theatres; Urban Stage School of Performing Arts.
