Helen Rita Therapeutic Yin Flow Yoga

Therapeutic Yin Flow Yoga - A Yin Asana practice

This class no doubt will add depth and somatic sophistication to your practice… and it is so healing.

Energizing Soft Vinyasa

Focus with inspiration to ground, uplift and resonate body, mind and breath.

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.
