About the teachers
Your yoga teachers, Helen Gilhooly and Helen Sutcliffe, have over 70 years of yoga experience between them and deliver their courses through FRYOG (Friends of Yoga International), UK’s premier teacher training school. Helen Sutcliffe has trained numerous teachers to follow in her footsteps whilst pursuing her own yoga journey. In her own words: ‘yoga is too important to be taken seriously’. Helen Gilhooly trained to be a yoga teacher under the expert eye of Helen Sutcliffe. Her own yoga journey has taken her most recently to France with her family where she is running a chambres d’hôtes whilst continuing to teach yoga.
