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. 💛

 recommendsTrustindex 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! :)

 recommendsTrustindex 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!

 recommendsTrustindex 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.

 recommendsTrustindex 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 ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🙌

 recommendsTrustindex 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!
