My life as an independent filmmaker and mother of two was pretty hectic. Very "yang-like. I used to practice mainly gymnastics and fitness. By chance I took my first ('power') Yoga class at the gym. It was not the best experience but still it made me curious about yoga. And so I found my way to a yoga school more than 20 years ago. When I finally really discovered yoga, it felt like coming home. The deep meditative and relaxing effects of yoga, especially Yin Yoga, brought a lot of balance into my life. A few years later, I began my first Yoga Teacher Training with Anat Geiger, Marcel de Vis Heil and Johan Noorloos (500 RYT). I became a yoga teacher and assistant in their teacher training program while continuing my studies with Paul and Suzee Grilley, the founders of Yin Yoga. To this day, I study yoga with many wonderful teachers. With this knowledge and experience, I created my own Yin Teacher Training Program in 2015. It makes me very happy to work from my greatest passion. With love, I not only guide students in their discovery of the healing effects of Yin Yoga, but also train them to become skilled and inspiring teachers. "Discovering Yin Yoga is one of the best things in my life. You can meet Hellen on the mat at: Yin Yoga. Back to our team
