Meet Helen - Your Guide to Holistic Well-Being

Welcome to a supportive space for those seeking greater wellness, strength, and ease—especially individuals navigating midlife and beyond. Through yoga, meditation, and mindful movement, students are invited to build resilience, restore balance, and age with grace. Classes and workshops focus on cultivating inner calm, physical vitality, and a deeper connection to joy, purpose, and community.

Offerings include Yoga for Aging Gracefully, Pilates Reformer sessions, and Thai bodywork—all tailored to meet students where they are. This practice is rooted in compassion and inspired by the healing power of movement, breath, and sound. Outside the studio, you might find Helen walking with her dog, skiing, gardening, or exploring the rhythms of Kirtan and harmonium, deepening her connection to sound as medicine.

Helen Rita Restorative Yoga

Restorative, Yoga Nidra Meditation

Experience another deep state of relaxation where the body safely mobilizes and repairs the connective tissues. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditative journey that is back brain focus that involves a move away from the "high speed" activity of the forebrain. Yoga Nidra is an antidote to high functioning executive functioning and helps become established in spacious awareness. The practice is very healing!

What My Clients Say

Helen is fantastic. I attend both her yoga classes and work with her on the reformer in her studio. I highly recommend Helen. She is patient and passionate about her work. She can cater to any level of fitness.
Jill Courville
Helen did an awesome job leading my bridesmaids and through a relaxing pre-wedding yoga class by the river! So fun! I highly recommend!
Michelle Buckland
I started practicing Yoga with Helen this summer. What started out as an interest in learning more about the power of yoga has turned into a journey to create a healthy well being both emotionally as well as spiritually. Helen and I bonded immediately and in addition to attending her sessions, Helen is always willing to share her knowledge and the benefits of the practice based upon my individual goals. Helen is constantly attending workgroups to improve her practice which in turn improves my practice as well. I’m so grateful to have found Helen and look forward to continuing my yoga journey with her.
