Instructor Profile

Yoga is about enjoyment of the act itself and the resultant benefits are just BONUS.  Charlotte has a degree in psychology and has always been interested in what keeps the mind open for creativity and fullfillment. Charlotte first discovered the true benefits of Yoga when she was competing  in equestrian sport 15 years ago. It truly completed her connection with her horse and she went on to show successfully with her equine partner in Dressage at Trillium level. In 2005 Charlotte suffered multiple orthopedic injuries from an automobile accident but continued her regular yoga practise still wearing a cast on one leg and multiple hardware in the femur of the other leg. Her orthopedic specialists were amazed at how her anticipated recovery period was cut in half. She was also back in the saddle as they say and continues to ride today. Certification to teach Yoga was completed in 2006 and 2007 with a yoga/pilates  teaching certificate via East to West Yoga  in Renfrew, Ont. and 200 hour teacher training program in accordance with Yoga Alliance criteria under certified Himalayan Institute teacher Jackie Adams of Yoga to Go  Studio from Kingston, Ontario. Though certified Charlotte continues to believe in learning from the masters of Yoga. She is currently completing another 200 hr teacher training program with The Yoga Station in Carleton Place with Tamara and Tomasz.  In her travels she has  sought out yoga communities in the U.S.A, India, China, and France.  She has completed an Ashatanga based  workshop with Mark Darby and Joanne of Montreal.  Her most profound training came from spending time in Mysore , India in 2010 training with with Sri V Sheshardri and BNS Iynegar.  Charlotte strongly believes the journey of Yoga is a life long pursuit and her personaility as a teacher reflects connection with breath, body, mind, and soul and no matter where you are in life you can do Yoga.
