Trained in theatre and journalism, and a lover of dance. Heleen has always loved the power of stories and movement to provide deeper insights into what gives us joy and can help us evolve.

Over the past thirty years she has studied and practiced different modalities to discover and explore ways to help others find their own maps to navigate self-care.

As a facilitator and practitioner of Biodanza for nearly three decades, she loves the connection, joy and music that is so integral to this system and moves people to grow from their healthy parts.

Yoga has been part of her life since her teenage years and she has been teaching it for the last six. The discipline and gentleness embedded in the poses and movement sequences - as well as the wisdom behind it - form a wonderful mental framework for modern times.

Heleen is currently finishing her studies in Transpersonal Art Therapy, a modality that enables self-awareness and better choices through creative processes.

The three modalities she works with bring the joy of being present in the moment, a framework for thinking and greater self-awareness.

Her approach is to be respectful of each discipline as they stand. She believes that in life these different disciplines work in synergy to support us in our journey.

• A general class is the best way to start, this way you will receive guidance through the foundation poses and basic breathing techniques. Alternatively a one-on-one private session if you have a injury/ specific health condition. This way you can get a practise that is personalised to meet your needs.

• No problem!  Yoga is not about bending like a pretzel. We are all different and yoga practices honours each body, with all of its inherent limitations and/or injuries. Our teachers will happily modify postures so they are appropriate for you. Also practising yoga regularly will improve your flexibility, so you may well notice your toes getting closer and closer over time….

• Wear some comfortable loose fitting clothes, perhaps a t-shirt or singlet top that allows movement and pants such as dance tights, tracksuit pants or shorts.

• In the interest of health and safety we are not currently providing yoga mats. If you don't already have a mat, you can buy one online. We recommend LovEarth: www.lovearth.com.au.

• As yoga is best practised on an empty stomach, please refrain from eating for at least an hour and a half before the class.
  Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the class starts. 
  
  If it's your first time here, your teacher will show you where you can leave shoes and other belongings, where our bathrooms and other facilities are, and will guide you through any new student forms. 

• Our trained teachers will lead you through the practice, carefully explaining and guiding you through each pose. Also we encourage you to listen to your body. If a posture does not feel right or hurts, please let the teacher know so it can be modified to best suit you.  

• Yoga can help to calm the mind, strengthen and bring balance to your body, increase your self awareness and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Each of our teachers hire the Cammeray Yoga studio, so class prices may vary slightly from teacher to teacher.   Our Timetable includes clickable links which will connect you to our teachers' websites or emails.   You can ask about the prices of
 - a casual class
 - a multi-class pass (eg: 10 classes) 
 - pensioner and student concessions
 - private classes 

Our yoga teachers hire the Cammeray Yoga studio, and each may have slightly different pricing.   You are welcome to try different classes on a casual basis, and you may find in time you lean towards a certain timeframe or teacher, and you can explore a multi-class pass with them specifically.   

Yes, since the start of the pandemic, yoga teachers do need to be able to anticipate how many people are coming along to a class, so we can adapt to the regulations in place at any given time and keep everyone safe.    

Your teacher will guide and inform you about payment, however.  In some cases, it is possible to pay upon arrival, as long as you have booked a spot in class.  

• Yoga is a space to find sanctuary from a fast (and often overstimulated)  world and allow your mind to be focussed and calm.   We ask that people observe some simple guidelines when they come to yoga (and these will become second-nature in a very short amount of time): 
  
  Please be mindful of our treatment room next door to the studio.  The small room next to the studio regularly has private yoga therapy appointments, mentoring, and other clinical treatments such as acupuncture.  Please be mindful of volume levels in the common spaces.  
  
  Please remove footwear (socks are fine) before entering the studio. This not only helps keep the studio clean, but is an acknowledgment of the special space that is any yoga studio. 
  
  No electronic devices are permitted in the studio, especially mobile phones.  Your teacher may being their own audio equipment or an electronic timer or some such, but we ask students to please leave all their belongings in the lounge area.   This is a mark of respect for the yoga space and your fellow yoga students, but also gives you a chance to be free from distraction while you practice yoga. 
  
  You may take a water bottle into the studio with you if it has a secure top on it, so if it gets knocked over, it is spill-proof!  
  
  No food is permitted in the yoga studio. Please enjoy our lounge area and kitchen.  
  
  Current custom worldwide is that people practising yoga please bring their own yoga mats.  Your teacher can guide you as to which studio equipment such as blocks, bolsters and cushions you are welcome to use, in accordance with covid-safety regulations in place at any given time.   Any studio equipment used must be cleaned afterwards - cleaning supplies are provided in the studio.  
  
  Some people may like to remain lying down for a little while after class, or sit in meditation a little longer.  There is never a need to rush departure from class, we want you to savour a relaxed feeling. Your teacher can let you know if there is also available time afterwards to relax a little longer.
