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 grew up spending summers, this retreat weaves asana, breath, Vedic philosophy, and storytelling into six days built for depth, not distraction.
Registration opens September 2026.
Space is intentionally limited.
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.
