In this intermediate hatha class with Helen, we explore the possibility that yoga can support us in quieting our inner critic, especially when we move through poses that require our full focus. Through twists, backbends and balances, you are invited to remind yourself of all that you are, while releasing that voice that tries to tell you otherwise.

I have loved your classes through pregnancy (with lots of modifications) and postpartum, as my body and balance keep changing. Your cueing, modifications, and encouragement are wonderful.

And your comment of don't worry, it's a video, you can finish or start again later, was wonderful in this moment of worrying whether my baby was going to wake up and interrupt the practice!

I’m in my 50’s & been doing yoga for years. But I’m coping with rheumatoid arthritis, and Helen your wonderful energy & mindset is a beautiful reminder to meet my body where it is today. Sometimes I get stressed trying to keep up with other teachers, your modifications and positivity are much appreciated!

Great class to help with my negative self-talk. I love how Helen comes along side us as a fellow learner instead of as an expert to novices. Her adaptations gave me confidence to try some of the more challenging balances.
