Ener-G Yoga with Helen in Ross-on-Wye
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Since 2002 I’ve regularly practiced yoga, and I have been teaching it since January 2016. Having the chance to share all that I’ve learned along the way with students is my absolute passion. I love what I do and that shines through in abundance. Something I know beyond doubt is that everyone could benefit from yoga in their lives.
​​​
I started out teaching in Liverpool, teaching up to 15 classes each week up until the week before my pregnancy due date. After my daughter was born, I moved back to Ross-on-Wye, where I am from, and I have been teaching here since 2 years after that. I am an Ashtangi Yogi, and also love Yin Yoga. So, obviously I share what I love and teach both of these styles of Yoga.
I teach Vinyasa Yoga, the more accessible, flowing, and fun dynamic practice that comes from Ashtanga Yoga. This makes you strong, fit, flexible, healthy, and balanced in ways you cannot imagine until you try it. I also teach Yin Yoga, which is so relaxing people really do fall asleep in the postures sometimes, and targets the body in a very different but equally wonderful way.
I also offer sound healing using crystal singing bowls or tuning forks, and incorporate this into a few workshops each year, as well as other workshops too. New classes are on the horizon for 2027 so keep an eye out!

Classes are held in and around Ross-on-Wye, with online Zoom options for some of them, every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Whether you want to move your body, become more healthy, learn to let go, release stress, or be more present, Yoga can help. Get in touch if you have any questions. ​

I started my teaching journey completing my 200 hours Yoga Alliance Yoga Teaching Training India in 2015. Since then, I have studied with Bernie Clarke for Yin Yoga, the guy to study Yin Yoga under. I also continue to train and study sound healing in CMA (Complimentary Medical Association) accredited courses, and philosophy, anatomy, breathing techniques, and meditation in Yoga Alliance accredited courses. However, these formal trainings are not a drop in the ocean for time I have spent independently reading, studying, and contemplating everything from ancient scriptures to quantum physics. Nor the hours I've spent practising the many branches of yoga daily, year in, year out, because theory is very useful to know which direction you're headed, but useless without practice. Yoga, and everything it entails, is my life. Follow the link below for more about this.
TESTIMONIALS
The yoga community values wellbeing in the pursuit of a better, healthier lifestyle. Don't take my word for it, take a look at some of my testimonials below to see how I’ve helped my students.
Helen has an incredible gift. She creates an environment where anyone, no matter how confident or supple, can benefit hugely from her yoga knowledge, generous people instincts and energy for her work. I came to Helen in my mid-fifties; stiff, a bit stressed and feeling disconnected from my body. Through Helen’s classes and 1:1 sessions, I’ve increased my physical strength and flexibility, and benefitted from all the holistic benefits of her yoga classes. She’s fun and fabulous!

As a complete yoga beginner I started Helen’s vinyasa flow sessions in Autumn 2022 at the age of 57. They are great fun and provide an excellent and challenging work out. Although fast flowing Helen’s excellent explanation of each pose enables a complete beginner to fully take part in the whole session. The sessions seem suitable for all abilities with participants able to take each pose as far as they feel comfortable! Yoga feels like an excellent companion to other exercise (running, cycling) and even more so to life in general. Thank you Helen
Would recommend:Â Yes
Comments:Â I wish this had been an option at school!

Yoga is my time to zone out and concentrate on me for a while. What I love about Ashtanga is that it not only composes me mentally but it’s also a challenging workout and I find that very satisfying. Afterwards, my body feels amazing for the rest of the day. It has improved my strength and balance immensely. Personally, I like seeing the progress I’ve made each week, but Helen doesn’t put any pressure on anyone. For sure, she can show you how to push yourself further, but ultimately, it’s all up to you and what you are comfortable with and want to achieve.
