Hello, I'm Helene

Yoga therapy applies ancient knowledge of the human experience, alongside modern sciences of the human systems, to empower individuals suffering from emotional and physical health imbalances and concerns.

I offer yoga therapy to guide those who suffer physically and emotionally, towards health and wellness.

As a Certified Yoga Therapist with IAYT-International Association of Yoga Therapists, with over 24 years experience, I specialize and am certified in Chronic Pain Care and Education, Trauma Informed (including Sexual trauma) Yoga Therapy, and Yoga Therapy Education (includes; Anatomy, Biomechanics, Neurobiology, Physiology, Yogic Philosophy, and the science of Mindfulness & Breath).

Founder of H~OM Yoga School (2007). I teach on zoom and in person; group classes, private one-on-one yoga therapy sessions, specialty workshops and trainings.

I am the director and lead educator of H~OM TYES, an IAYT accredited 800 hour Yoga Therapy Program. It is one of only 7 yoga therapy programs in Canada accredited by IAYT.

I am also co-founder & president of MISTY- Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic Yoga, which she co-founded in 2011.

I am known and respected by many of my peers worldwide. I am best known for my deep compassion, warmth, and commitment to increasing awareness of yoga therapy to health care and yoga professionals, while passionately educating and helping those who suffer directly.

I am also proud mama of 4 amazing young adults and 2 awesome grandchildren, love to be in nature walk, swim and paddle board, and to be in or on water any chance I get.
