A Warm Welcome

I'm Helen, an advocate for all things health, happiness and nature via the mediums of Yoga, Paddleboarding and Nature.

I'm also 'Mum' to little Holly :)  

About me

 

Yoga has been a huge part of my life since 2005, and I’ve been teaching dynamic flow yoga in Maidstone, Kent since 2008.  Now qualified as a Yoga Alliance 500hr ERYT, I love sharing my Ashtanga-inspired passion with people of all shapes and sizes, ages and abilities, and believe that everybody can benefit from a bit of yogic bliss or time in nature on whichever level serves them best in their present moment.


Alongside my traditional Ashtanga practice and classes, I also like to bring a sense of playfulness and creativity.  This is where vinyasa, SUP Yoga and inversions come in.


My first experience of SUP Yoga was in 2013, and it became a life changing moment!  I trained to teach both SUP Yoga and SUP Fitness, and am now qualified with BSUPA as a Level 2 SUP Race/Tour Instructor.  I am also really proud to be a SUP Yoga Ambassador for Hatha Paddleboards. 


One of the very best things to come from 2020 is SUPTA – The SUP Training Academy, which I co-founded with the awesome Sasha Chisholm.  We teach yoga, Pilates and fitness instructors to confidently and safely take their studio classes out onto the water!  Find out more at www.supta.co.uk.  


It is my aim to make yoga and paddleboarding, in all their forms, an enjoyable, accessible and healthy experience for all, and to show my enthusiasm for and dedication to yoga, health, happiness and nature with every moment I teach!


I'd love for you to join me on this journey!
