About

Hello! I’m Helen, and yoga has been a transformative part of my life since 2005. I’ve been teaching dynamic flow yoga in Maidstone, Kent, since 2008, and I’m thrilled to share my passion with people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and abilities. As a qualified Yoga Alliance 500hr ERYT, I believe that everyone can benefit from the bliss and balance yoga offers, tailored to their unique needs and present moment.

My Approach

Dynamic Flow Yoga: My teaching is deeply rooted in Ashtanga-inspired practices, which I blend with creativity and playfulness. From traditional Ashtanga classes to vinyasa, SUP Yoga, and inversions, I strive to make each session engaging and beneficial.

SUP Yoga: My journey with Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga began in 2013, an experience that was life-changing (but that’s another story!). I’m now a qualified Level 2 SUP Race/Tour Instructor with BSUPA and a proud SUP Yoga Ambassador for Hatha Paddleboards. SUP Yoga allows you to experience the serenity of yoga on water, blending mindfulness with nature.

SUPTA Co-Founder: In 2020, I co-founded SUPTA – The SUP Training Academy, with the incredible Sasha Chisholm. Our mission is to teach yoga, Pilates, and fitness instructors how to confidently and safely take their classes onto the water.

My Philosophy

My aim is to make yoga and paddleboarding enjoyable, accessible, and healthy for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a traditional yoga practice or an adventurous SUP Yoga session, my goal is to infuse every moment with enthusiasm, dedication, and a deep connection to nature.

Join me in discovering the joy and benefits of yoga and paddleboarding. Let’s make each practice a celebration of health, happiness, and natural beauty!
