EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Posted on Facebook Heleen van den BergrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I had a wonderful experience doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Charlie. Her open and honest way of teaching gave me a much deeper understanding of yoga, its philosophy and meditation, while also helping me grow in my own practice. The two weeks were a beautiful experience of learning, reflection and connection, in the peaceful setting of the beautiful place she created in France. I am incredibly grateful for everything I learned and would wholeheartedly recommend this training. 💛Posted on Facebook Marleen LorenzrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I just finished my YTT 200 h at Charlies newly renovated and truly magical place in France. Loving the teaching style of my current Yoga teacher who also did his training with Charlie, I decided to take the opportunity this year and i am super happy with my decision! Charlie creates a warm, safe and compassionate environment without dogma, focusing on early teaching experience during the course and taking the theoretical part very serious which I really appreciated. Absolutely recommended! :)Posted on Facebook Natalia StępniakrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I had the privilege of receiving Kids Yoga training from Charlie last year, and I cannot recommend her enough! Her deep knowledge of yoga, combined with her remarkable ability to connect with children, made the training an unforgettable experience. Charlie created a warm, welcoming, and supportive space for our group, where everyone felt valued and encouraged to grow. The manual she provided was an incredible resource—packed with creative ideas and wisdom that I continue to rely on in my practice. I walked away from the training not only with practical tools and insights but also with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence to share yoga with children. Thank you, Charlie, for your guidance, patience, and for cultivating such a beautiful learning environment!Posted on Facebook Lena StrobelrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course! Charlie is a very thoughtful and supportive teacher, creating an encouraging learning environment. The course deepened my understanding of Yoga’s physical and mental aspects, the connection between muscles, joints, body systems and the mind, and how classes can be set up to benefit both body and mind. Practical sessions were a key part of the learning experience, providing hands-on teaching practice and valuable feedback from both peers and Charlie. This helped foster rapid progress in teaching, allowing for the development of a natural rhythm and effective class structure. After the course I feel ready to apply my knowledge as a teacher in a safe way. The course also expanded my view on how Yoga and teaching Yoga can be applied in different settings. Overall, dedicating two weeks to Charlie’s course was a rare and enriching experience for which I am deeply grateful.Posted on Facebook Gabriella ThomasrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I had recently completed the 200 yoga teacher training course with INDIV YOGA. Charlie was the instructor and she was fantastic throughout. We covered a broad syllabus the course provided a comprehensive training in yoga practice, philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, ethics and prepared students to become certified yoga teachers. I whole heartedly recommend INDIV YOGA you will not only learn the key skills and knowledge in this area but also build friendships and memories along the way. ❤️Posted on Facebook Anne BausrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I did my 200h yoga teacher training with Charlie and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Not only the group was great and there was so much respect for every single one, Charlie is an amazing teacher!!! You can feel how much she stands for yoga and all its values and principles and I feel so blessed to have been part of it. My dream has been to become a yoga teacher and I feel so well prepared by Charlie. I really appreciate the time she took for every single question and for creating a safe space and beautiful wholesome environment. I can highly recommend her course and I am already looking forward to see her again in the future!Posted on Facebook Pip BaileyrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I’ve just returned home from completing my YTT 200hrs with Charlie in Portugal, and what an incredible 2 weeks it was. Charlie shared her vast yogic knowledge and experience in a wonderful way during the course, taking us through a huge array of topics and experiences in great detail. The way the course was structured allowed our knowledge to build in a natural way, creating a wonderful foundation for our future teaching. The mix of practical and theoretical learning, and her ability to share so many insightful real life examples really brought this course to life. The confidence we gained as the time went on was remarkable, and the space that Charlie continuously held for the group throughout the course was nurturing, supportive and welcoming. I would highly recommend completing training with Charlie - her authenticity, light and passion for yoga shines through, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from her ✨🧘🏼♀️🙌Posted on Facebook Natalie NaumannrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Completing my yoga teacher training with Charlie was an incredible experience. The program was impeccably structured, balancing theory, practice, and reflection in a way that made even complex topics approachable. Each session built seamlessly on the last, helping us grow with confidence. What truly set her apart was her warmth and kindness. She created an inclusive, supportive space and always guided us with patience and care. Her passion for yoga and genuine dedication to her students were inspiring. If you’re considering yoga teacher training, I highly recommend her! 🧘♀️Posted on Facebook Rika RoxrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Just finished my teacher training with Charlie in Portugal. Those 2 weeks can hardly be put into words. It was the most amazing experience that I was able to share with truly wonderful people. Charlie was able to share not just her knowledge but her experience and self with us, guiding us to find our confidence as teachers within. Thank you for everything! See you soon, RikaPosted on Facebook Katharina ClaeysrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. After my first Yoga Teacher Training (RYT200) with Charlie in November 2019 – which was without doubt the best decision and life-altering experience, I now took part in her Kids Yoga Teacher Training in Nyon, Switzerland in August 2024. Charlie is an experienced, highly qualified and inspiring yoga teacher trainer who prepares you from day one. Her comprehensive curriculum covers all aspects of teaching yoga to kids (from ages 2 to teens). What stands out with Charlie is not only the knowledge, wisdom and theory including real-life examples you will gain from her teaching, but also the in-class practice and emphasis on making time for questions and constructive feedback. Charlie is a true yogi from heart and goes above and beyond to ensure every participant gets quality of training necessary to become the best possible yoga teacher for kids. In Charlie, you will find an exceptional teacher trainer, yogi and person – and I’m already looking forward to taking part in Charlie’s next yoga retreat!

I attended Charlie's RYT 200 training in 2026. Charlie gave us deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and yoga philosophy. But beyond the technical skills, she guided us through spiritual journey. I left the training not only feeling confident as a teacher but filled with deep gratitude and tools for inner peace.

Charlie is brilliant, kind and patient yet knows how to challenge you to be the best teacher you could be - and I couldn't have had a better experience!Posted on Google Carol D'SouzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie is a brilliant yoga teacher. She teaches skillfully, provides a calm and supportive environment, prepares so well for her classes and is attentive to everyone’s particular needs. She’s also a lovely, caring and empathetic person, which embellishes the whole experience. Having benefited from her 4-day meditation/yoga retreat as well as her individualized sessions, I would highly recommend both.Posted on Google Hilary SharpTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just completed a 4-day yoga retreat with Charlie in an idyllic Swiss location. From the start, the group coalesced into a cohesive and convivial unit, all down to Charlie's empathetic and skilled teaching, but also her light and friendly touch beyond the yoga mat. It was an well-planned mix of yoga, meditation, Qigong and walking in the snowy landscape, sometimes in silence. The ambiance was kind and enveloping, everyone's needs noticed and responded to, with Charlie's sensitivity and fine attention to detail contributing to a wonderful overall experience.Posted on Google Krithika GopinathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie did a meditation seminar for my company and it was absolutely brilliant. Me and my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a pleasure working with her. So easy and pleasant all the time. Thank you indivyoga and Charlie

Work hard and play hard to become the best yoga instructor you can be! Make sure you read our amazing reviews and click below for more info. 
I’ve trained in various styles of yoga and have always tailored the classes I give to the health and objectives of those attending. However I found that many of my clients suffered with some form of anxiety, and therefore slow or dynamic flow oriented classes were more suited to them. But I train my Indiv Yoga teachers to be able to apply the principles of Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga to create sequences that suit the people they are teaching.
You need to have a minimum of 1 year of regular yoga classes to be able to do the course, but more important is the motivation to certify as the best yoga teacher you can be! I’ve trained students that had 1 year of yoga experience that ended up being better teachers than other students that have been practicing yoga for over 20 years!
It depends on the description, so it could be a yoga retreat, meditation retreat or a mix of yoga, breathing exercises and mindfulness retreat. Sometimes they are more specialized like a Buddhist Meditation Retreat or Flow Yoga Retreat. The long weekend retreats are like a mini yoga vacation, where you recharge your batteries, relax and restore, and all classes offered are optional in case you just feel like lying in bed! They are often in the Swiss Alpa with breathtaking alpine views and the level of practitioner will vary from complete beginner to long-term yoga enthusiast or teacher. The week long retreats are a yoga holiday with more tine for spa treatments and relaxing by the pool/beach. They are an opportunity to completely disconnect from daily life, have a mental, physical and technological detox, meet amazing people and indulge in healthy living and deep relaxation. Join me on one of my popular yoga retreats to see what all the reviews are talking about on the newer Indiv Yoga Switzerland Facebook page (different from the Indiv Yoga page which is mainly for teacher training courses).

This can vary but usually the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Course is held in Portugal, and the RCYT Kids Yoga Teacher Training Course is in Switzerland, Cyprus and London. Sometimes yoga schools hire me to run courses at their studios in other countries, or I get hired to run retreats by hotels, organizations or private clients. Weekend retreats run by Indiv Yoga are held in Switzerland and week long retreats usually in Switzerland or Portugal, depending on my schedule.
Yes I often do private retreats and public events, including seminars and workshops. You can also book me to hold the 200 hr YTT and Kids Yoga TT at your yoga studio. Please use the Contact page to make an inquiry.
