Hello, I’m Helen. I offer inclusive universal yoga, adapted to the individual. I believe in yoga’s power to help support us physically, mentally and emotionally to live our best life. Sometimes you might leave a session flying, other times maybe things just feel a bit more manageable. My experience of yoga has adapted as I have aged and my life has changed. Being a mother first and foremost has drawn me to work predominantly with women, children and young people. I am particularly interested in making these wellbeing life skills available to all, especially our young. Please see my Pachamama Venture on Crowdfunder if you’d like to support me with this. I love working with the body through yoga and massage therapy. It’s taken me a while to realise and truly appreciate how much I am drawn to movement and engaging the senses, preferably in nature: Overly enthusiastic tennis rallies moving a mid life body in unfamiliar ways, Tango twists and turns close to the warmth of another, carving through the water on a swim, ecstatic mum-running to old school rave, the giddy rush of cold water invigoration, a blustery hill walk with thudding heart and dead thighs, goosebumps on hearing your favourite song, the full body exhaustion after a long bike ride…maybe it’s the years of yoga but I relish the feedback my body gives me, making me feel ALIVE. Recognising we all spend far too much time wrapped up in our thoughts I try to savour conscious movement and sensation to better appreciate and look after this precious vehicle but also enabling myself and hopefully encouraging others to feel more present moment awareness to enjoy this crazy ride. Easier said than done sometimes though! I am also interested in neuroscience and the latest research showing the benefits of yoga, breathing and meditation on wellbeing. Yoga is huge in scope and so much more than the stylised images many are fed. I have adapted elements to serve frenetic pre-schoolers, seniors with extreme mobility issues, iron-pumping prisoners, those chronically ill, dazed and confused festival dwellers. I love what I do. I am grateful for the individuals I have crossed paths with and experiences gained along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/69b935a0-b47e-4f58-b0e1-6691e5f0dd11/manmeditateJPG.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/9d382fd6-b42a-4416-84d8-95537bd14cf2/womansunnature.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/45342ba3-1b33-4007-89f5-08848291f02a/groupyogainpark.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617837691055-PSCX21J913NVAIR2NB7A/younggirlcobrabedroom.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/85eef00e-7345-4817-a318-332afefc4794/pregnantwomanvibrantcolours.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1618071097531-PD78RA8QLGPJBLX2WBZ4/tiptoesonmatjpg.jpg About https://www.helenappleby.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-04-07 https://www.helenappleby.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2021-04-10 https://www.helenappleby.com/teensandyoungpeople daily 0.75 2021-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617893773211-EF6OWW7DSJL0MFOFXDOO/pexels-%25E5%2591%25A8-%25E5%25BA%25B7-710743.jpg Teens & Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617893806110-RCDXRHCFO155JWHU3EQ5/IMG_5932.jpg Teens & Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617813430571-LVBL82O407AGPS0MVTWW/IMG_5927.JPG Teens & Young People https://www.helenappleby.com/dayretreats daily 0.75 2021-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617824943557-9X1WRTVEROF0CX483AP8/womanmountainJPG.JPG Day Retreats https://www.helenappleby.com/crowdfunder daily 0.75 2021-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617827768559-1II4GF78943KMMNC0CPU/pachamamaimage.jpg Crowdfunder - TEACHING. EMPOWERING. NURTURING. I came across Pachamama, the Earth Mother, whilst living in Argentina. It’s a little tenuous but the image and idea stuck. Do you ever look around and feel we have enough? Can we share more of our resources, skills, time to others that may have less and need more? Have you tried working with or relying on the state and been found lead a merry protracted dance? I believe in yoga as a very practical skill set that can be taught to children and young people building confidence, acceptance and self reliance. I am reaching out to my community: local and global asking for support so I can deliver a series of simple 10 week courses where it is most needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617828651648-FUA34AWMHQH73ZE8PXC1/4youngkidscuddling.jpg Crowdfunder - CROWDFUNDING PROJECT AIMS To fund 10 x 10 week interventions to youth organisations, community groups, children and young people in need, especially as a result of the Covid crisis. Whilst pots of funding exist here and there this is long haul and can result in a dead end. I’d like to help those suffering right now and share some simple wellbeing tools the kids feel empowered to use themselves, building resilience and developing emotional literacy. With pre and post questionnaires I am hoping the qualitative and quantitative responses will be a springboard for a continuation of funded sessions. Will you help me reach my target? https://www.helenappleby.com/mothers daily 0.75 2021-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1618084233269-KHMECIF6EUZ90CHOMRWD/normalgirlsidestretch.jpg Mothers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606749280a68663443b7a70b/1617816327683-S5845VZQXD3E4XMPDYYW/shaktirose.JPG Mothers - SHAKTI YOGA FOR WOMEN Tuesdays 8-9.15pm via Zoom and recorded for catch up.
