YOGA THERAPY & EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL

​

Helene (pronounced Hell-EEn) began her journey in 1999.

Her passion for yoga inspired her to share yoga with a few friends in the basement of one of whom eventually lost her battle with cancer. She soon realized her love of yoga could only be surpassed by the desire to share it with others & the joy of seeing them benefit from yoga on many levels.

 

In 2002 just after delivering a stillborn boy Helene embarked on a 200hr YTT Certification Course. During 2003 she continued the training at same time began teaching yoga at the St. Lazare Community Center. Best of all that year Helene gave birth to an awesome baby girl. She is blessed with 4 amazing kids.

H~OM Yoga Health & Wellness Center/School

H~OM opened its doors July 2007. Since then Helene has been committed to providing the community with a place to find Health, Healing & Happiness of mind, body & spirit for souls of all ages, limitations & abilities.

 

The response has been overwhelmingly supportive, demonstrating a common need for all to “breathe in” a space that has the energy of a warm family hearth, is beginner friendly with teachers that are always ready to help students in a personable way so they can enjoy the benefits of yoga that best suits them.

​

In Sept 2010, H~OM Yoga Wellness Center became a Registered Yoga Certification School with YA - Yoga Alliance international & Helene began teaching a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program.

Over 100 students have graduated her 200hr program.

​

In 2018 she introduced a 300hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training focusing on the Sciences of the Human System & Therapeutics. Guest Faculty will come do some of the weekend workshops which are open to others outside the 300hr YTT program.

If you are a RYT200 completing the Advance 300hr brings you to 500 RYT level with YA (Yoga Alliance).

​

At the urging of her graduates Helene then went through the detailed 2 year process with IAYT to have her Yoga Therapy Program become accredited.

In 2021 she was granted Accreditation by IAYT - International Association of Yoga Therapist.

She is  Director and Lead Educator of  H~OM TYES Yoga Therapy School.

This is an 800 hour Yoga Therapy Certification program open to those who have completed 200 hour training.
