Welcome to Yoga le Grá

Hi to you, and a very warm welcome!

My name is Helena, and I’m a yoga teacher, business owner, and the founder of Yoga le Grá - a practice rooted in kindness, creativity, Joy & compassion, for ourselves, one another, and all beings.

I'm lucky to live on the breathtaking Irish coastline near the charming village of Glenbeigh in County Kerry. I’m deeply connected to nature and find great joy in mountain hikes, forest walks, sea swims, and long mindful strolls.

Yoga as a Way of Life

Yoga, for me, is much more than a practice—it's a way of living. Life is like a roller coaster, full of highs and lows, and yoga helps me stay grounded through it all. Along with meditation, time in nature, and intentional self-care, yoga has become my anchor in both calm and stormy seas.

Yoga teaches me to stay present with whatever arises, to breathe deeply, and to embrace life moment by moment.

My Yoga Journey

I first discovered yoga in 2011 while living in Wellington, New Zealand. The practice had a profound impact on my life, helping me navigate challenges, find balance, and reconnect with myself in ways I never expected. Yoga became an anchor for me during a turbulent time, offering me space to breathe, reflect, and grow—ultimately shaping the person I am today.

I began my teaching path in 2015 in Bali, and since then, I’ve continued to deepen my practice and understanding through various trainings:

200-hour – Awakened Life School of Yoga (Bali)
200-hour – Himalaya Yoga Valley (Cork)
80-hour – Adventure Yoga with Stephen Ewashkiw (Adventure Yoga)
30-hour – The Craft of Teaching Hatha Yoga with Jeanie Jyanti (Alchemy School of Yoga)
30-hour – Restorative Yoga with Jeanie Jyanti (Alchemy School of Yoga)
30-hour – Yoga for Kids & Families (Rainbow Kids Yoga)
30-hour – Chair Yoga with Claire Oborne (yoga and movement)
Currently studying – 300-hour Advanced Training with Sarah Fox (Oak & Willow Yoga)

What to Expect at Yoga le Grá

Whether it’s a weekly class, a seasonal workshop, or a wellbeing retreat, I create warm, welcoming, and nurturing spaces for people to move their bodies, explore yoga practices, and feel completely at home.

I love to teach from a place of joy, weaving themes into classes to create meaningful experiences.

My goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone—no matter where you’re starting from.

Above all, my intention is to show up with love in everything I do.

Organic Living & Food for Retreats

At Yoga le Grá, we believe that true wellbeing extends beyond the mat and into every aspect of our lives, including what we nourish our bodies with. I’m deeply passionate about living sustainably and promoting organic living—both as a way of life and as a way to support our planet.

For every retreat and event I host, organic and locally-sourced foods are always on the menu. I partner with trusted organic food suppliers to provide nourishing, wholesome meals that are free from chemicals and additives. Offering organic food not only enhances the retreat experience but also aligns with my core values of health, sustainability, and mindfulness.

During our retreats, you can expect to enjoy delicious homemade meals that reflect the values of balance, nourishment, and vitality—perfectly complementing your yoga and meditation practice. Organic living is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to share that experience with you.
