Helen

Meet Helen, our SUP Yoga Ambassador. Located in Kent, she’s been teaching yoga since 2008 and is now qualified as a 500hr senior yoga teacher with Yoga-London. From her very first time on a paddleboard in 2013, Helen instantly fell for the tranquillity and new challenges of yoga on the board, surrounded by the constantly changing backdrop of nature. She trained as a SUP Yoga Instructor in summer 2014, and now teaches SUP Yoga, SUP Fitness and BSUPA SUP lessons at Leybourne Lakes in Kent. New for 2020, Helen has teamed up with Sasha Chisholm to create SUPTA, a training academy for SUP Yoga, SUP Pilates and SUP Fitness instructors.
