Helen Prieto - Founder and Lead Trainer

She began her yoga practice and preparatory training with Shanti Shala Yoga in Cebu City, Philippines back in 2011.

Apart from studying Self-Myofascial Release Techniques and Yin Yoga in India and Functional Anatomy for Yoga teachers in Hong Kong, she also taught workshops, studio classes and has conducted teacher trainings in India, Thailand, Maldives and General Santos City, Philippines.

Her Teacher Training has produced competent and passionate Yoga Teachers from around the word.

Ena Uy - E-RYT 200

Ena Uy is currently a corporate cashier in a motorcycle company in General Santos City. Out of curiosity that lies behind the “keep calm & do YOGA”, she began her journey as an ordinary yogis. In 2015, she started joining classes and unknowingly fell in love with the practice. In 2019, she met Teacher Helen Prieto and became her student. After quite some time, Teacher Helen invited her to enroll in a Yoga Teacher Training at Marichi Yoga School. Now, she is currently a yoga teacher at the aforementioned school. Yoga became a game changer in Ena’s life. From a once timid woman, she bloomed into a great one. Learning is what keeps her moving; emptying cup is always the key towards fulfillment. Difficulty is never a hindrance to her practice but an addition to her strength, flexibility and balance. She believes that nobody is inferior in their practice because everything would go smoothly with time and perseverance. With this, she encourages her students to keep on believing in themselves and never quit practicing. With peace and positivity that yoga brings to the mind, body and soul, she aspires to touch and inspire ones soul.

Helen made our classes fun with her cheeky sense of humor but also pushes us to our limits and made us work hard. She has a knack for reading her student’s bodies and personal abilities; she can see where you may be able to go deeper into a pose, and where you should pull back and take it easier. Because of this, I gained so much strength and flexibility in one month of her classes. I achieved poses I thought were impossible! Thanks to her encouraging attitude, every class with Helen felt so productive and rewarding. She’s one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. Thanks Helen!

Because of Helen I’ve really fallen in love with practicing yoga. I started with yoga because I was aware of the many health benefits and I wanted to deepen my spiritual practice physically aswell. What once seemed a challenge turned into my fav daily activity. Helen teached me to trust my body, believe in my physical abilities and because of that I keep growing immensely in my practice. Also she is a very relaxed teacher, with a good sense of humor. She is just herself., no faking or making! And thats a very important aspect of why her classes are of such high quality.

Being in the yoga training is not easy and to think it’s expensive. But a whole lot of things have somehow made me change that perspective. Marichi School of Yoga with Teacher Helen will help you to discover and enhance a lot from self confidence down to capabilities and skills that’ll make you a better version of yourself. Physically, your strength, balance & flexibility will develop but mentally, i’d say i was amazed, a whole new realism have opened inside that made me embrace yoga. Sharing my thoughts about my experience in Marichi School of Yoga with Teacher Helen might woo you and be one of us.
