Helena Ljoljic
Program Manager
Independent Yoga Instructor
Helena lives in Sunnyvale, California with her husband and two children. Family, human connection, art, nature, yoga and learning are some of her favorite parts of life.
Teaching is Helena's passion:“From my first job teaching English back in Brazil, my home country, to teaching yoga and art 20 years later, there has not been a day teaching that I haven’t learned something myself. The bond between a teacher and a student is based on mutual learning and trust, which brings me great fulfillment and gratification”.
YOGA
Helena’s journey with Yoga started in 2001 as a student, and in 2016 as a teacher, when she earned her certification from both IEPY and The Kaivalyadhama Institute. Her practice is focused on calming the mind through the practice of yoga postures, breathing techniques and meditation. But above all, connecting to her students as fellow human beings is her ultimate goal.
Helena has been with Blossom since 2019, and currently works as Program Manager for most of our Childbirth Prep and Parenting Classes. Now, joining the team also as a Prenatal and Mom & Baby Yoga Instructor she will have the opportunity to further strengthen that which is, in her opinion, the best part of Blossom: our community!
One of the things I like most about Blossom is seeing mommas come for prenatal yoga, then birth classes and then, finally getting to meet them with their babies. Listening to the struggles and the moments of joy remind me of how we all are so similar and so in need of each other. - Helena
