With a difficult childhood in the pressure of London, Charlie started to find strength & calm through yogic breathing exercises, zen meditation & different styles of yoga. She has since trained with some of the most renowned yoga teachers around the world (David Swenson, Shiva Rea, Anne-Marie Newland, Sadhguru, Sadie Nardini, Leslie Kaminoff, Sonia Sumar) studying Hatha, Sivanada, Ashtanga, Children and Family Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for Special Needs and Inner Engineering.

EXCELLENT Based on 107 reviews Posted on Francesca Stunell-BiancoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I recently did one of Charlie's courses for yoga teachers that have undergone their 200hr training. I chose a course specialising in Mindfulness and Meditation for 30 hours. Charlie is a wonderful teacher, and I was initially intrigued by the work that she has done in corporate settings and British airways, and the capacity to "cross over" to make yoga and meditation more accessible to all to share its benefits with those that may be initially sceptical. She is such a warm and knowledgable person, I absolutely loved being on the course and learned so much from her. She motivated me and the other students to really use our potential and "hone" our individual styles of guided meditations within our yoga teaching practice. Would definitely recommend to anybody interested in this area of yoga or for the Yoga Alliance's requirement every 3 years for 30 hours of additional study. Thank you Charlie! xoPosted on Diane WatkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. An amazing experience, can't believe how much we all learnt on this course. It is challenging but so worth it. Amazing new friends made and a new found confidence. Thank you Charlie ????????Posted on Charlotte HeronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. What a brilliant learning experience and lovely yoga community to go back home with ???? Charlie is an incredibly knowledgable yoga teacher and has created a 2 week course focused on you becoming a competent yoga teacher, which I loved. We were teaching by day 3 and I left feeling confident to teach (and sequence) a 75 minute class. Due to the nature of the 2 weeks, so much information is packed into the course and a lot of time spent reading/studying as well as practicing. My only comment would be it would’ve been great to have more yoga lessons with Charlie herself as she has a wealth of knowledge, but due to a packed schedule and the focus being on our own teaching progression I’m not sure where we could’ve fitted this in on a daily basis! I have left with a much stronger personal practice as well as a deeper understanding of the history of yoga and mediation methods. I’d highly recommend this course for anyone looking to deep dive into yoga and hone their skills as a teacher in an immersive experience.Posted on Ruby GentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I have just completed the course in March! It was an amazing experience I was surrounded by the most supportive women ever, I’ve learned so much just from 2 weeks! Charlie was a lovely instructor ???? I’m so pleased I’ve done this course!Posted on Catriona CalderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Thank you Charlie for the most amazing 2 weeks. Who would have thought that we could have learned so much and more so come out of it confident teachers with the knowledge to support us. An amazing group - lots of study but lots of laughs (and tea) too. If you are thinking of taking a YTT 200 take a leap of faith with Charlie you won’t regret it.Posted on Anne Soriano RijoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Charlie’s 200 hour TT course was incredible! Charlie is incredibly knowledgeable about yoga and meditation and genuinely cares about her students. The course is challenging but it’s well- organized and transforms curious yoga students into confident yoga teachers! I genuinely love everyone that I met here and the setting in Carvoeiro is divine. If you are thinking about it, you should definitely do it! Immerse yourself!Posted on Kristina KrastevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.

Had a wonderful two weeks teacher course here! Charlie is an amazing teacher with high standards. We learned a lot and I feel confident as a yoga teacher.
