Form . Flow . Embodiment
Transformational yoga retreats for practitioners ready to go deeper — rooted in modern movement, ancient wisdom and storytelling.
Welcome!
I'm Hélène — I believe yoga is a path to personal evolution, not just a physical practice.
I design intimate, small-scale retreats as immersive containers — where your body and your understanding grow together, alongside a community of fellow seekers.
My teaching weaves the precision of classical Ashtanga Vinyasa and the creative structure of Katonah Yoga® with Vedanta, yoga philosophy, and storytelling.
If you've been practicing for years and sense there's more beneath the postures, you are welcome here.
Not a Vacation— A Journey
Upcoming Retreats
Être — A Retreat in Being
Arcachon Bay, France · June 25–30, 2027
Être — "being," in French — is a retreat in yoga, presence, and the kind of slowness only the Atlantic coast makes possible. Held on the stretch of Bordeaux coastline where I spent summers, this retreat weaves asana, breath, Vedic philosophy, and storytelling into six days built for depth, not distraction.
3 Rooms Available
Space is intentionally limited.
Moving Into Stillness
Catskill Mountains, New York · November 12–15, 2026
Four days, three nights of yoga, rest, and nourishment in the serene Catskill Mountains — a retreat built around slowing down, not filling up.
2026 is Sold Out
Next Retreat: November 11-14, 2027
The Embodied Journey
Essays on yoga, wisdom, and becoming.
Before you come to a retreat, you'll probably find me on Substack.
Twice a month, I write about embodied practice, yogic wisdom, the stories behind the practice, and what changes when you stop treating yoga as fitness. It's where I think out loud — and where retreat details land first.
Testimonials
What others are saying:
"I'd just started practicing with Helene and wasn't even confident in my asana practice, but something told me to take the leap. So glad I did — this week showed me I can do more than I give myself credit for."
-Rachel, France Retreat Participant
"I felt so lucky just to be here, surrounded by women willing to be real. And Helene doesn't just teach form; she teaches feeling, meaning, and love like no yoga teacher I've had before."
-Jackie, France Retreat Participant
"The retreat with Helene was everything I had hoped for. A deeper dive into my practice and a wonderful experience with guided relaxation practices. Helene had clearly put great thought into the retreat and didn't miss any details."
-Elison Pickett, Catskills Retreat Participant
