Meet the Teacher:

Helen Roscoe is an experienced yoga teacher with over 20 years of practice and a deep passion for guiding students of all abilities. Her teaching is grounded in extensive training and lived experience, including yoga therapy studies with Paul Harvey, and long-term influences from yoga therapist and mentor Zoë Martin. 

She continues to practice with Sandra Sabatini and Michal Havkin, who have opened the door to the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli and the Feldenkrais method.

With specialist training's in pregnancy and postnatal yoga, yoga for the menopause, accessible yoga, and self-myofascial release, Helen also has a particular interest in experiential anatomy, informed by her background as a competitive athlete.

From 2021 to 2024, she taught on the Manchester 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course for Yogacampus, becoming a lead tutor in 2023, supporting the development of new teachers with clarity, creativity, and practical guidance. 

Alongside her training work, Helen teaches weekly classes and workshops in Marple and seasonal retreats in North Wales, blending therapeutic, meditative yoga that nurtures a quiet strength, supports functional movement in everyday life, and cultivates relaxation, awareness, and ease in body and mind.

Helen balances teaching with family life. Yoga has been her constant through life’s changes - marriage, parenthood, and adventure - and she loves sharing the transformative potential of the practice, helping people find freedom, presence, and joy both on and off the mat.
