Meet Charlotte
Charlotte's work as a yoga teacher, yoga teacher trainer and nutritional therapist over the last few decades has had a focus on how we bring together our whole selves in movement, nourishment, expression and self-care. This includes a recognition of the psychosocial stresses so prevalent in our modern world and the traumas that we hold in our tissues, as well as our emotional states.
In her yoga and movement work, this has meant shifting towards a more somatic framework, with an emphasis on exploring boundaries and processing of the stories we hold in our bodies. Using yoga philosophy and psycho-neuro-endo-immunology as a framework to hold kind, curious exploration, trains, yoga, teaches and other health professionals, movement and subtle practices that support whole health.
For yoga teachers and other health professionals, she runs courses, training, teachers, in somatic, therapeutic and mindful ways of holding space for others so that they have the curiosity and agency to support themselves. Charlotte runs courses and teaches for Yogacampus, London, and is a guest lecturer for The Minded Institute.
She teaches how to use movement, not simply in the context of what we can do physically, but as a way to attune, listen and respond to our deeper, often unconscious needs. In her more specifically, health-focussed courses, (digestion, immune and respiratory health and books on these subjects), she weaves how the relationships between body, breath, fluids and our structure are part of one highly responsive organisation.
For the general public, Charlotte teaches classes in Brighton and London, workshops, UK yoga weekends and retreats abroad.
Charlotte is an author with many published books, including Yoga and Somatics for Immune and Respiratory Health (Singing Dragon 2022), Yoga Therapy for Digestive Health (Singing Dragon 2018), Good Mood Food (Nourish 2018) and The De-Stress Effect (2015).
