FRANCE RETREAT | JULY 20026

Welcome!

I'm Hélène, a registered yoga teacher dedicated to sharing an integrative approach to yoga. I offer private sessions, small group classes, and intimate boutique retreats in the Catskills, NY, and my native region of Bordeaux, France.

After years of practice and teaching, I've developed an approach that honors yoga's ancient roots while meeting the needs of modern life.

My Approach:

A yoga that meets you where you are & sustains your whole life

Physical Wellbeing

At its roots, yoga is a comprehensive system for physical health and vitality.

Yoga remains an effective approach for addressing physical discomfort, improving flexibility and strength, and promoting overall bodily harmony through mindful movement and breathwork.

Movements That Matter

Yoga asanas are not forms to be achieved or performed—each posture has a function to be understood and explored.

Through my FORM, FLOW & FUNCTION methodology, you develop a yoga practice that is sustaining, yet challenging.

Integrative Approach

True health emerges from the harmonious relationship between body, breath, and mind.

Together we use physical postures, conscious breathing, and meditation techniques to cultivate both physical comfort and inner stability.

Transformative Retreats

Intimate gatherings designed to
deepen your practice and nourish your soul

I'm a 500-hour registered yoga instructor with over 12 years of experience in yoga and meditation practice and training.

Originally from France, I started practicing yoga when I moved to New York in 2009. In 2021, I left a career in finance and sustainable development to fully immerse myself in the teaching and sharing of yoga.

My yoga teaching combines the principles and styles of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Katonah Yoga, along with my Vedic meditation practice and study of Vedic philosophy.

I have worked with students of all ages and paths, focusing on the details and principles of universal alignment and allowing the more subtle aspects of the practice to reveal themselves.
