"I have attended Helen’s classes for 6 months, and feel that they have had an enormous positive impact on both my physical and emotional well-being. I am developing renewed strength in my body, and I always feel energized after a class.
Helen is a very astute instructor, as she has the ability to assess the individual needs of the group members, and adapt the class and postures accordingly. Her manner is professional, warm and approachable, and there is always a sense of a shared experience within her classes. Helen’s main ethos is of effortless relaxation and self-belief. She is always mindful of these personal mantras, and they infiltrate every part of her class.
Attending Helen’s classes is uplifting, relaxing, motivating and truly enjoyable."

"I started yoga at the beginning of the year, with Helen, and I cannot recommend her classes enough!
​
I look forward to going every week, my posture and strength have improved, and I feel so refreshed and energized after the class"

"You are one of life’s loveliest people and in the short time we've worked together I have recognised that I need to change how I think about myself more. I have been aware how hard I am on myself and my husband says he hates the things I say about myself. He always encourages me to stop worrying but it is easier said than done. I have made so many changes and am very self aware but it leads me to always trying to change who I am to suit everyone else.
"You have taken the lid off the emotional part and given me a way to go inside and find calm".
I feel I have a long way to go but you helped me open that door and wedge my foot in. I now need to push hard to walk through completely which will take time but thank you for your kindness, warmth and the ability to translate what yoga can do xx"

"As a primary school teacher and mother, I have always struggled with my stress levels and feelings of guilt when I try to incorporate 'me time'.
​
I originally began 1:1 sessions, with Helen, as I lacked confidence in my ability to perform the poses correctly. It's now become the highlight of my fortnight!
​
Helen is encouraging and really knows her stuff. She gently amends postures, when needed and works specifically with postures designed to help strains and stresses my body has that week.
​
The relaxation time is amazing and really allows me to reflect on how I feel without somebody else needing my attention.
​
Seriously couldn't recommend Helen highly enough and have no plans to stop my sessions, despite the fact I am now confident in my practice."

"I really look forward to Helen’s Yoga class. We are a small, friendly group of mixed abilities and wide age range. The class is suitable for beginners and those with more experience and Helen is able to tailor the poses to meet our needs, which in my case is essential because I have some problems with balance.
The class sets me up for the day - I leave feeling relaxed, energetic and positive.
Yoga keeps me flexible and enables me to keep in touch with my physical and emotional needs - perfect for preventing me doing too much gardening!"
