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
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.

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.

The Embodied Journey
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.
