Hi there, I’m Helen

When I started practicing yoga years ago I experienced a lot of joy and freedom while doing it. The body was working hard and I was exploring the edges of what was possible and stretched over the edge to see if I could go beyond. 

​

Doing so, several times I hit my own mind telling me how hard it was, that it was not for me, that my neighbour was better and that I could not do it. 

​

So, once during a yoga lesson, after over 100 attempts going up for a back bench, (you know the bridge small children make with their body, stretching the body all backward on hands and feet): I was lying on my back, hands beside the ears, feet on the ground near my butt. The teacher was telling what to do and I was chatting with my neighbour. Suddenly I heard my teacher say '...and get up!' So I did! I was thrilled and screamed out load: YES. But what made the difference that it did work this time and not the earlier attempts?

​

It was the mind NOT thinking, my mind did not get the chance to come in between me and the body because I was distracted by the conversation with my friend next to me.

​

This life experience got my full attention. How could I stop my mind from obstructing me from the things I like to do? How does that work? And most important how can I transform my ways of being that are not benefitting me in a  healthy way, so I can grow, flow and shine into my full potential?

​

Transformative coaching brought me all I need to chase this goal, however it is a lifetime process and needs work every day. Becoming a transformative coach has given me purpose in life that helps me to follow my vision for the world.
