Who We Are
ABOUT
Welcome to Elevate Yoga Retreats, the perfect blend of relaxation, rejuvenation, fun and adventure! We are the hosts and founders, Helen and Kat. Avid travellers, we met in Goa and endeavoured to follow our dreams and passions of holding space for people to come together and enjoy yoga, good food, forge new friendships and be challenged. All the while, having the most fabulous time in beautiful locations around the world.
We know that life gets stressful and it’s so important to take time out, relax and look after yourself. On our retreats we will take care of you with invigorating yoga sessions, breath-work and meditations, all fully guided and supported and adapted to suit all levels. You will indulge in sumptuous healthy and delicious meals, all crafted with locally sourced ingredients and our accommodations will create the perfect sanctuary for rest and reflection, nestled in nature in scenic spots around the world. We promise an unforgettable experience of self-discovery, joy, laughter, and holistic wellness.
OUR RESIDENT TEACHER
Helen Warriner has been teaching yoga for the last 6 years, specialising in Vinyasa, Aerial, Yin, and Trapeze. Helen is a passionate and fun teacher who immediately makes you feel welcomed and at ease with her big smile and friendly nature. She has travelled extensively around the world, sharing her knowledge to students in teacher trainings, retreats and studio classes.
Coming from a dance background, Helen uses this skill to creatively design dynamic and inspiring flows. She fosters a supportive environment encouraging people to really find and express themselves on the mat and in the aerial swing, whilst providing an element of light-heartedness and fun.
From the UK but based in Mallorca and India she devotes her time training people to become Yoga teachers and planning fabulous retreats for Elevate. In her leisure time, you can find her indulging in her passions of swinging in an aerial hammock, dancing salsa or exploring a new beach.
