Live, online classes with Charlotte, Leonie & Leah
Charlotte weaves Somatic practices - more fluid, explorative, primal motions - with postures and movements more commonly associated with a physical yoga practice. She is most interested in how these gestures bring us into embodied awareness and a compassionate relation with self though. Exploring the movement within stillness and the stillness within movement, whether there is more containment or fluidity, there is ample time and space to listen in to your deeper needs. In this way these mindful, meditative practices can help us drop beneath striving and 'getting it right', towards liberation and releasing stress, trauma and tension from body tissues.
Charlotte is joined within the Whole Health offerings by similarly experienced teachers Leonie Taylor and Leah Barnett; both of whom she has worked with for many years and who bring their own voices and specialisms along. This creates a timetable over each week that offers a complementary rhythm of differing ways of tuning into and caring for our whole being; body and mind.
Each class is appropriate for all levels. Whether it involves floorwork, standing, dynamic, restorative or meditative practices, there is the space and kind attention for each person to move in ways that feel supportive and opening - and pause whenever they need. In this way we can ease open muscles, fascia and posture in a safe and body intelligent way, with an emphasis on the breath and kind, mindful attention.
We can all benefit from this emphasis on grounding, awareness and attunement into our inner landscape; a guide to navigating the often choppy waters of life with ease and equanimity.
These practices that cultivate embodied awareness are also great accompaniments to a more dynamic practice or to bring deeper awareness for the more experienced, as well as initial opening for the beginner.
Charlotte also specialises in therapeutic yoga for digestive, immune and respiratory health, as well as relief from stress, burnout, fatigue and anxiety. Leonie and Leah are involved with Charlotte's teaching and writing within these subjects too. All of the classes are appropriate for these and other health needs.
Weekly Classes
Somatic & Mindful Yoga Classes
Tuesday weekly: 7-8pm – Charlotte
A Somatic-focussed weekly evening class which stays close to the ground for a more restorative evening class; where laying and seated movements have a rocking, rolling, pulsing and massaging flavour - moving towards full rest and savasana.
Wednesday weekly: 9-10am - Leonie
In these weekly classes we will playfully explore standing postures and movement. We will also add resistance to expand strength, mobility and stability within our practise, but still within the context of mindfulness, fluidity and personal adaptations that respond to meditative attunement.
Thursday weekly: 7-8pm - Leonie
A Somatic-focussed weekly evening class which stays close to the ground for a more restorative evening class; where laying and seated movements have a rocking, rolling, pulsing and massaging flavour - moving towards full rest and savasana.
Sunday weekly: 10-11am – Charlotte or Leonie
A more energising morning class; usually starting loosely seated to awaken through somatic and primal movements - making our way through the planes towards standing and back down to the ground for full rest, all with plenty of space, time to feel and the integration of the pause.
