ABOUT

Hi, I'm Helena Böhm! I'm a 500 RYT, with further trainings in meditation, yoga nidra, well woman yoga therapy and children's yoga. I specialise in one-to-one sessions and small group classes, with sessions tailored to the individual body, mind and spirit.

My teaching is inspired by many teachers and traditions. I originally trained in India in traditional hatha, and since then have practiced, trained and been inspired by many styles including ashtanga, vinyasa and yin. I am most passionate about Scaravelli - inspired yoga, after the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.

In my previous career I was a Museum, Arts and Nature Educator with BA and MA degrees in Archaeology, Museum Studies and Heritage Management. My connection with art, culture and heritage helps me bring a holistic approach to my teaching, understanding each human as a unique creative being rooted in their own personal culture and heritage. We all come to yoga from different places, for different reasons and with different bodies. There is no one size fits all.

I am inspired by movement/yoga, meditation, travel, the mind, learning new things and creativity...

I love... being barefoot in nature, the smell after it rains, long walks, nourishing food, pottering around farmer's markets, tea, an inspirational quote or poem, a good hug, curling up with a book, wilderness and plants, marmite on crumpets, spring time, fresh bed sheets, art exhibitions, discussing life and the 'biq' questions, music that makes you feel, the power of the mind…
