“I am not sure where to start describing this experience because it was transformational for me. I went to Costa Rica looking to regain my balance in life after losing my soul mate of 37 years, and in a chance encounter on the beach I met Helena after one of her yoga classes. Doing yoga on the beach just looked so relaxing I thought, "why not give it a try?" After a brief exchange of contact information, I scheduled a private session, not realizing that my outlook on life was about to change. Helena sent me a message prior to the session to enquire what I was looking to get out of yoga, and I briefly shared my soul mate story. In one lesson of yoga and conversation she guided me to realize that I was stuck in the past. I didn't know at the time that in addition to being an amazing yoga instructor, Helena was also a wellness coach, and those two areas of expertise came together beautifully to give me the push I needed to get out of past and begin to live in the present. While her yoga and wellness skills and knowledge are amazing it is her beautiful soul that I will remember and cherish. She truly has a gift, and I was blessed to be in the right place at the right time to receive it. I had two more private sessions and one group session, and each one was memorable and rewarding in its own way...including the group session on the beach that started with and amazing double rainbow and ended with doing yoga in the pouring rain! Helena gave us the option of stopping and nobody took her up on the offer, she is that captivating! I have read the other reviews, so I know my experience was not unique. There is something very special about Helena that she is willing to share with the world and you would be doing yourself a favor to take advantage of this experience. Whether you are a beginner like me or experienced like the others in the class, you will benefit from this experience...don't miss the opportunity!”

“Helena came to our rental house and led our group in yoga for three days on the beach. We all thoroughly enjoyed our practice with Helena. Helena is a talented yoga instructor who is focused on helping her students evolve and improve. She will modify the practice based on the skills, experience and talent of her students, and keeps a light and fun attitude. Helena is also easy to work with, is responsive and seems like a high quality person.”

“Helena is an amazing yoga instructor and a wonderful genuine person. She’s very calming but powerful and athletic at the same time. We tried a few different yoga spots and Helena was by far the best.We spent two months in Tamarindo and with Helena there’s no pressure or sales pitch, just yoga to suit your needs.”

“It was my first yoga session and it was a life changing experience for me! We were in front of the beach, and Helena was such a good teacher. I can only recommend it to anyone, I felt so relax and well then. Since the session I have strong base to practice myself and I love it ! Thank again I enjoy it so much, go for it, Helena will guide you very well ”

“Helena guides a beautiful class. She supports all levels of students. She creates space for a gentle practice if needed, but also expertly guides students through adjustments, modifications and supports next level asanas. I have a 300 hr yoga certification and was quite pleased with her knowledge and guidance. The class I attended was well balanced with pranayama, warm ups, and flow, with a theme of getting ready for a morning surf:-)”

“Helena teaches a grounding and powerful yoga class on the beach in front of a surf break. She is very knowledgeable and catered to all of levels in the class but still maintained an amazing flow and presence. Every class I have taken with her has been empowering and grounding. She also gives incredible assists that helped me go deeper in many poses that were difficult for me. 5 stars and 100% would recommend if you are staying in Tamarindo.”

Andrew Petrillo

“Helena is such a beautiful, sensitive soul, very calm energy. She adapts the class according to what she thinks would work best with you. We had a yoga for opening chakras, and she got me emotional. I felt relaxed and full of energy afterwards. The best yoga teacher I have ever had!! :)”
