Hi, I'm Charlotte and I'd like to welcome you to Yoga Breakfast !
Yoga Breakfast brings together my love for nutrition and food and my love for Yoga and keeping fit and healthy. I love to be able to share my knowledge and passion with others, to provide support and a network for those that want to receive it.
I believe that eating well and keeping our bodies & minds challenged keep us feeling good from the inside out!
I'm a Certified 200 hour Yoga Alliance Yoga Anatomy teacher, specialising in Core Strength Vinyasa and a certified City & Guilds Nutrition & Weight Management Adviser. I've been practising yoga for 8 years and for the last 2 years loved working with people to achieve their nutrition & lifestyle goals.
It is a style of yoga which has originated from Hatha yoga.
The Human body is amazing, science is always updating with new revolutionary facts about the body. My practice brings together Western anatomy modern day science and bio mechanics as well as maintaining a connection to traditional Eastern methodology.
Yoga helps us to become more present and be true to ourselves. It is about our journey more so than how we get there. In any yoga posture we are not only working the body, we also work the breath, muscles, bones and mind.
Poses are designed to release tension from the outer body and re-activate the inner body muscles to support the spine and joints from the inside out, instead of pressurising them from the outside in. The unique deep core line activation makes poses stronger as we are not gripping to the pose with the outer body which can weigh down the joints and spine.
CSV is committed to softening, bending the knees so we can honour the relationship between the spine and pelvis, re-activating the deeper core muscles from the earth upwards creating optimal spinal alignment. This creates a safe space for our bodies, we are all different and we all move in unique ways. We don't have to look like everyone else on the mat or off the mat.
Our core is our centre of courage, transformation and true knowing. When we take time to look inside, to be with ourselves and honour our self practice, we strengthen our core relationship cultivating a strong core connection which is key in living a vibrant and positive lifestyle.
