Hélène Roy

Hélène Roy came to yoga the way most people do — for her body. A stiff back and a demanding finance career brought her to the mat. What kept her there was something else entirely. After years at a Bloomberg terminal, Hélène traded spreadsheets for a deeper kind of study. She holds a 500-hour RYT, trained in Ashtanga and Katonah Yoga, and has practiced Vedic meditation and philosophy for over seven years. She teaches yoga as what it actually is: a complete guide to being a human being.

She lives in Westchester, NY.
