Yoga found me in London in the mid 1990s amidst a haze of career, ambition and living/working/partying hard. After years of body issues, dieting, body-loathing, addictions, over exercises, guilt-tripping I slowly began a little breathing and meditation here, a change in attitude there, sun salutations – the change had begun. I have now been teaching yoga since 2002 in France. Living in Savoie with my two daughters & partner I totally embrace mountain life. With a healthy dose of fun, sport, and love for myself and those around me I have finally beaten the body demons and found the body and energy of a woman with curves, edges and perfect imperfections. And the yoga? It is so part of my daily routine it doesn’t even need to make it on the To Do list it just is! Yoga has become my life, my passion, my daily routine.
I teach group and private classes, workshops and retreats, accompany women on life’s phases, I have organised Yoga Festival in Val d’Isère & now organise the Women's Spirit Festival in Provence. I am the owner and Director of YogaChezMoi, the original online yoga site in France, I have created a teacher training programme 50, 200 & 300 hour programmes, ShivaShakti and written two books : Yoga - Rayonner sa Puissance au Féminin (ed. Eyrolles) & Yoga & Rituels des 9 Déesses (Ed. Jouvence), created the incredible coaching ressource earthschool.fr to dive deeper into the chakras and simple connected living & Goddess inner energy.
Charlotte’s style is now her own unique mix of many teachers (more than 500 RYS hours) and schoolings but here are a few of the influences along the way.
