Embodied Yoga: Working With Your Body, Not Against It

Embodied yoga, as pioneering teacher Vanda Scaravelli put it, is all about being guided by the felt sensations of your body as you move. It’s a practice of listening and responding, rather than forcing or striving.

My classes combine mindful movement, breath awareness, and creative flows. You’ll build strength, improve your range of motion, and release tension. Most importantly, by bringing attention to what you feel within, you’ll learn to understand and trust your body’s innate wisdom. It’s about growing into yourself from the inside out, feeling more comfortable and empowered both on and off the mat.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

In my classes, you can expect natural movement patterns, meaningful guidance, and deeper insights into your own body and how you move through the world. My aim is to help you feel comfortable in your own skin, giving you time to settle, get quiet, and truly listen to what your body needs. The insights are sometimes subtle, but always profound.

I first discovered yoga in my teens, and my understanding of the human body has continued to evolve. With foundational training in vinyasa flow yoga, I was then introduced to embodied yoga by an outstanding teacher in Liverpool, completing my Level 2 training with esteemed senior teacher Julie Martin of Brahmani Yoga in 2022.

My teaching incorporates an evolving understanding of fascia and movement science, drawing on the expertise of senior teachers and anatomy specialists like Gary Carter, Peter Blackaby, and Trina Altman. Whether you’re in a group class or a private session, my teaching is guided by these insights and, most importantly, by you.

What my students say

‘This is the first time I have persisted with a yoga class and it is wholly due to Charlotte’s method of teaching. She is very patient, sensitive to her students’ individual needs, and offers encouragement and advice at the right times. For me the sessions are a perfect balance between quiet meditation and a real sense of fun, rediscovering the joy of play.’ Helen, Over 50s Course

‘Charlotte’s classes are wonderful! I always leaving refreshed, energised and most importantly calmer, less anxious and able to think more clearly.’ Emma, Embodied Flow

‘I have regularly attended Charley’s Embodied Yoga for over a year and love her classes. She really knows her stuff and transmits her knowledge extremely well. The subtle level of detail and exploration she brings to each session skillfully accommodates beginners and very experienced alike. I can’t recommend her classes enough.’ Martin, Embodied Flow

‘Charlotte is not only a great teacher, she is marvelous at adapting positions to suit everyone’s ability and capability. She brings a great deal of knowledge to each session and I always learn something useful about my body, how it works and why the smallest of changes can make a profound difference.’ Ali, Over 50s Course
