Ti Temple

Born in France, Helene discovered the beautiful practice of Yoga in 2002 while living in Tokyo where she was working as a journalist and photographer. She used Yoga to rehabilitate and neutralize her serious back problems. Soon, she began to see its tremendous physical and spiritual benefits. She was initiated into Ashtanga Yoga in Hong Kong and completed her initial teacher training in 2007. After moving to New York, she turned to a more calm and mindful Yoga practice as she realized that her intense practice was potentially leading to injuries. She completed the Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers program with Jason Ray Brown, and she studied anatomy and breath-centered yoga with Leslie Kaminoff. Helene believes that yoga develops strength, flexibility, and focus, as well as physical and spiritual balance. Her style is inspired by Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Restorative yoga, as well as by the wonderful teachers she has been working with. Helene is certified as an E-RYT500 by Yoga Alliance USA and she has been teaching yoga and meditation for more than 15 years. Her classes are vigorous and challenging; however, she takes care to adapt them to every student’s physical capabilities, focusing on breath and alignment as well as using clear and sensitive guidance.
