Helaine Sheias is a certified international group facilitator and Kripalu inspired Hatha yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance. As a certified Yoga Therapist with the IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapy) she has developed an earth-based spiritual approach to health and wellbeing by creating YinspirationYoga—a tapestry of somatic release, intuitive awakening and the cultivation of radical presence. She holds a doctoral degree in Human Sciences and a Masters in Child Developmental, with a focus on Special Education. She is a graduate of the Socially Engaged Spirituality program at Saybrook Graduate School. A pious believer in the Yogic ”My body is my Temple” philosophy, Helaine’s life passion is to introduce yoga as an instrument for transformation and self- empowerment, thus bringing about a greater sense of spiritual consciousness and bodily awareness to individuals.

Her vision for YinspirationYoga is to teach people how to maintain sacredness in their lives by consistently embodying a sense of ‘wholeness’, i.e., by exploring their relationship with their mind, body and spirit, from a place of equanimity and self-acceptance.

Helaine offers a variation of Yin infused yoga classes that are both multi-level friendly and invigorating.
