Helen Stutchbury, E-RYT500 ~ Creator, Owner, Senior Teacher
Helen is a passionate teacher who brings a ton of information, energy, and joy to her teaching. Helen’s classes include students from 13 - 83, and keeping all of them strong and challenged led to her unique focus and technique (The Yoga You Need™), and her success working with aging and injured people. Helen is one of the developers of TreeYoga™, a fun and deeply strengthening outdoor yoga practice, done in trees. She first tried yoga at the age of 3, and became a teacher in 2005. Helen developed and ran a teacher training program for Sunstone Yoga in Dallas for 3 years before leaving the city for a quieter way of life. Through 2008 and 2009, she developed the Camp Utopia 200 hour teacher training program in Wimberley, Texas. Many rounds of training later, Camp Utopia has produced fantastic teachers, launched a 300 hour program, and grown into new territories, including North & South Dakota and Montana. It's heaven.
Our 500 Hour Grads
Vera Dyson and Rafael Mujica
|
Rafael dove into training soon after returning from his second combat deployment to Afghanistan in 2015, because he had experienced its power to heal body and mind. By 2017 he'd completed all 500 hours of training, and 3 more rounds of study and apprenticeship. Rafael created workshops on meditation, anatomy, teaching skills and trauma recovery, created a yoga & hiking company, and his popular and endearing Instagram presence has become the prime example of authentic, ethical branding in our marketing workshop.

Allison Rissel, Taylor WhitmoreKarma is hard. I had to learn some very expensive lessons over the years about giving. I set my goal to be a giver, and of course, that attracted some predators to me. Predators seek prey. I was prey. Allison and Taylor were both trained, supported, mentored, guided and financially enriched for years by me, and Camp Utopia. They used all the programs and products developed by me while building their own businesses, attended conferences and advanced trainings, and assisted in 200 hour programs in Texas, North and South Dakota, and Montana, before stealing a bunch of my money and moving on. Hard lessons. Good riddance.
