Keen Soul Yoga

Started on your own unique yoga journey.

Growing up in Dawlish, Helen Talbot (formally Keen) had always been interested in health and wellness. After years of personal practise and experiencing the transformative benefits of yoga, she decided to pursue her passion and become a yoga instructor. Thus, Keen Soul Yoga was born.

Helen's classes at Keen Soul Yoga are a mindful mix of movement and breath, designed to promote wellness in the modern world. Drawing from her extensive experience and training, she creates a fusion of her favourite styles of Yoga Asana, including various styles of Hatha yoga, Vinyasa flow, Forrest, Yin, Qigong, and embodied movement-focused Somatics. This diverse range of styles allows Helen to tailor her classes to suit the individual needs of her students.

In addition to teaching poses and breathing techniques, Helen goes beyond the physical aspects of yoga and shares the why and how behind each practise. She encourages her students to develop a regular yoga practise as a way of life, rather than just a weekly exercise class. Helen also incorporates different styles of breathwork and meditation into her classes, modernising them to be more relevant and accessible to the modern world.

Keen Soul Yoga offers various class formats, including group classes, one-to-ones, sports therapies for cyclists and runners, outdoor yoga during the summer months, and bespoke sessions for businesses or private groups. Helen's background as a leader and coach for a global FTSE 100 listed company for over 20 years gives her valuable experience in working with people and designing classes that address the challenges faced in today's world. She creates specialised sessions for menopause symptoms, injury and illness recovery, and mental health challenges brought on by modern life.

As a passionate advocate for the healing power of yoga, Helen offers introductory free taster classes, charity fundraisers, and other incentives to encourage individuals to start their Keen Soul Yoga journey. Her aim is to help people live fulfilled and healthy lives, developing coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety, and cultivating a strong mind-body connexion.

Helen's enthusiasm and knowledge about yoga have received high praise from her students. Reviewers commend her teaching skills, her ability to accommodate students of all levels, and the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere she creates during classes. Many have found her sense of humour particularly uplifting and soul-enhancing.
