Hello.

My name is Charly and I teach yoga in North Norfolk, in person and online. I have been practising yoga since my teenage years, drawn to both its physical benefits and its deep, grounding influence on the mind. Inspired by a friend who trained during lockdown, I took the leap into teaching, wanting to share the profound relief and joy that yoga has brought to my own life.

How I teach
My teaching is embodied and somatic. Whether it's Embodied Hatha or Embodied Yin, we move and rest slowly, with curiosity, tuning into breath and sensation and how the body feels from the inside, rather than chasing a perfect pose. Every class is about helping you feel more at home in your body.

My training

  • 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Jackie Heffer-Cooke, Freedom Yoga and Retreats

  • 100hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Atma Gyanam, The Yoga Tree

  • Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training

  • Postnatal and Baby Massage Yoga Teacher Training

  • 50hr Yin Yoga CPD

  • Myofascial Release CPD

  • Chair Yoga Teacher Training

I believe in always learning, and I begin my Somatic Yoga Teacher Training in early 2027, so I can keep bringing new depth to my classes.

Living with mild scoliosis, a neck injury, ADHD and anxiety, I understand firsthand that yoga is more than just movement - it's a way of living, a tool for self-awareness, and a path to balance. I embrace both strong, empowering flows and the soft, introspective stillness of Restorative and Yin Yoga, and I find deep nourishment in Yoga Nidra and meditation.

I am a mum of three beautiful children and a lover of nature and the coast. I find inspiration in the wild beauty of North Norfolk, often spending time outdoors with my family and dogs. Through Seed Yoga, I offer an inclusive, nurturing space where you can connect deeply with yourself - on and off the mat.
