About Fliss and Charlotte

 

Charlotte

 

I first started practicing yoga about 15 years ago and have been teaching for 9 years.  During this time my love and passion for yoga has continued to grow and it feels such a joy and a privilege to be able to share this practice with my students.  Through the ups and downs of life yoga has always been there for me – providing a sanctuary, space for reflection, improving my self-awareness, filling me with vitality and keeping my body strong and mobile (I’m sure it is what keeps me moving after years of battering my body in sports)!

 

My style of teaching is generally Vinyasa Flow which is a fluid and dynamic style of yoga cultivating strength and mobility.  I’m also interested in Yin and Restorative yoga, having completed trainings in both – in these styles the poses are generally held for much longer and are seated or reclined using props to support the body allowing greater opening and release. I’m currently completing a training with a focus on Kundalini yoga, which works on the subtle energies of the body helping to raise our energetic vibration.  This is a true passion of mine and something I personally practice and have found to be truly transformative.

 

Yoga is not just a physical practice – it encompasses philosophy, breath work, meditation – all of this I try to weave into my classes and it is my intention to keep on growing my knowledge of understanding of this beautiful practice so that I can share it with others.  My hope is that it enhances their lives like it has done mine.

I have a private Naturopathic practice in Marlborough. My special areas of interest are gut, skin, hormonal, thyroid, adrenal and mental health.  I get great satisfaction in coaching others to make healthy lifestyle changes in all areas of their lives.  Over the last few years, I have delved into the mental/emotional link to physical dis-ease, and how identifying and working on the triggers can bring the body, mind and soul back into equilibrium.

 

 With our busy lives, trying to fit in and comparing ourselves to others, our self esteem can take a plunge.  Over time we can lose our identity (what makes us "us").  After seeing many clients in my clinic who have lost their sense of self purpose through low self-esteem, being absorbed in a relationship, work, life etc I felt driven to coach them to look within and re-discover who they are.  Creating space for you and nurturing yourself is one of the best gifts you can receive.  This has been the driver behind this workshop -to help you re-connect with you, address that negative self-talk, separate who you are from who they are, what you want from what they want and simply have time to relax.

 

The techniques I use have enabled me to re-connect with my true essence, to live my life as myself and to be proud of being me.  This has been the biggest breakthrough in my life and has enabled me to address areas of my life with a firm grounding that honors me.
