Helen Noakes

Helen is a nomadic yoga teacher inspired by the teachings and students of Vanda Scaravelli with Elizabeth Pauncz (one of Vanda's students) as her mentor and guide. Helen also offers trainings in Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot pressure), which has a strong influence on her teaching style.

Goa has been Helen's second home for many years, as well as enjoying leading yoga seminars, teacher trainings and intensives in Europe, India, USA and Scandinavia. She is passionate about spontaneous, intuitive movement in the form of waves and spirals and includes her love of ecstatic dance into her teaching. Helen's aim is to invite a lightness of being and joy to our movement practice and to encourage others to listen and respond to their intuition with safety and awareness. Scaravelli-inspired yoga has no methods or set sequences. This approach encourages the practitioner to create a strong relationship to the ground, the breath and to awakening the spine.
