Presenting our long-time-friend and Soul Sister Helen Noakes Yoga and Chavutti Massage she’ll be our Scaravelli & Somatics Guide for our Teacher Training course here at The Yoga House running from February next year til July 2027!

Helen has had the pleasure of training and learning from the students of Vanda Scaravelli. Elizabeth Pauncz, Gary Carter, Diane Long and others who are dedicated to this beautiful approach to movement.
She has been sharing seminars, Yoga Teacher Trainings and Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot pressure) courses in India, Europe, USA and Scandinavia for nearly 30 years.

Helen’s passion is sharing this deeply intuitive attitude to Yoga & integrated health through movement… not only because it enriches the Practices of everyone who tries it but also because Scaravelli Yoga has contributed profoundly to her own journey of learning, healing & self-love & care.

Her other inspirations include the art of Five Rhythms, the teachings of GAGA, Ecstatic Dance, QiGong and her bodywork career.
Joyfulness and simplicity are the essence of Helen’s teachings & sessions & they are accessible for any one with any body type.

Helen will be with us for the May, November & December 2026 sessions and also May 2027 and she will be part of the Teaching Assessment Team in July of 2027 at the end of the course.
Helen will guide you in learning & teaching through the contexts of freedom, spirals and space!
The beauty of this approach to Hatha Yoga in the spirit of Vanda Scaravelli, is that the primary focus is the individual’s expression of the movements & concepts…. Yoga in its truest form has a loving texture.
Helen will be your guide, navigating your personal sensations with you encouraging you to pay attention to them and allow space for spontaneous movement to reveal itself…. you’ll dive into your tension with the idea of slowly & safely softening it rather than fighting it…and through that transformation, you’ll help others do the same. 💚

Yoga is for Humans,
if we don’t deal with all the elements of the Human Condition
it is not Yoga, it’s spiritual bypassing….

Yes, Yoga is a Spiritual Path,
a beautifully mapped out process to help us to remember how to unify ourselves with that which we consider The Divine.
It is an Ethos of Grace & Loving Discipline to help us remember that we are not separate to Existence but rather one with it….

but if we don’t become physically & psychologically literate along the way, we make a mistake that is sadly all too prevalent in the devotional space,
we get notions…..lofty notions……we mistake our falling into the egotistical abyss for an elite flying lesson up to God.

Unhealed wounds are never to be ignored
and emotional suppression is not enlightenment…

it takes courage & patience to face the inner demons,
it is the way of the coward to quickly trampoline past them.
Skipping uncomfortable levels of ourselves in favour of a perceived transcendence is frankly lazy….
we must steer clear of delusional elitism and all the false prophets who peddle it.

Our Practice, while we’re here as Humans is to roll up our sleeves & dig into the mud…..
Lotus flowers do not grow in space….they grow here….with us on Planet Earth,
there are no short cuts…..nor should there be,
let’s get to work

Guruji once said ‘Yoga is 99% practice, 1% theory’
He was right, direct experience is the only way to make any practice part of us…from calligraphy to brain surgery, without EXPERIENCE we are shoddy & obtuse and we can’t possibly know the depth & nuance unless we DO IT…..again and again and again and again and and and…..

However I think Guruji’s wise and true words are often misconstrued, I’ve heard teachers first hand, instruct classes full of students to not bother with the source texts, which always made me tilt my head to one side like a confused puppy, needless to say…..
although I’ll say it anyway, I wholeheartedly disagree!

Guruji was a learned man, decades of immersion in the Practice had afforded him the opportunity to be very well versed in all aspects of the Teachings.

So, my opinion is that the 1% theory isn’t small, the 1% is a necessary part of the path of the Yogi, think of the 1% as a lot of study and then the 99% is weaving what you’ve gleaned into daily life, both on AND off the mat. Yes, comparatively, there’ll be more time in experiential practice than study, it’s the same in any educational system ….but that’s not to say that the study be discounted or minimised.

being a scholar of the texts on its own does not a Yogi make BUT a Yoga practitioner without proper training and an understanding of the textual guidance is not a Yogi either.

Studying brings the heart of Yoga into OUR hearts, it brings us closer and closer to that awesome Wisdom and then when we Meditate & Chant & Move & Breathe & Love each other we are aligning with a Spiritual Skill…. Yoga is a Spiritual Practice, yes but that doesn’t mean we ignore the benefit and indeed importance of intellectual understanding…

…and so it goes, in my measure of the thing, what we need to make a proper attempt at any kind of progress in Yoga is 4fold:

1. The Sutras
2. The Gita
3. A teacher who challenges & informs us
4. ENTHUSIASM to build & maintain a daily Practice of integrating EVERYTHING you’re learning from the first 3!

THAT’S the Practice….not just 90 minutes in a Shala…but our whole lives…

‘Practice, practice and all is coming’
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) 1915-2009
