I think of myself as a somanaut - someone who is curious about the experience of being in a body. For me, practice is an ongoing inquiry. A chance to explore, sense, listen & pay attention to what is happening from the inside, moment to moment.

Tension, ease, restlessness, warmth, discomfort, energy, stillness. Sometimes it’s clear, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes I don’t really know what I’m sensing at all. But there is something in stopping long enough to clock it: this is what’s here, right now. And then being curious about what happens next.

And I’d like to invite you to be your own somatic scientist - to experiment, notice, wonder & discover. To get curious about your own experience rather than looking for the ‘right’ way to move, feel or be.

How to find me:
Tuesday 6pm Thrive Pilates, Frome
Thursday 9.30a RISE Frome
Thursday 6pm The Practice Frome

I look forward to being in practice with you 🙏

How is Somatic Yoga different?

It’s less about how a movement looks & more about how it feels from the inside.

🌿 Slower movement 
🌿 Small, gentle movements
🌿 An inward focus
🌿 Less instruction, more invitation
🌿 No pushing through

Somatic Yoga can be especially supportive if you:
➡️ carry chronic tension or persistent pain
➡️ feel stressed, disconnected or stuck in your head
➡️ find yourself pushing through rather than listening to your body
➡️ have practised yoga for years but feel stuck in familiar patterns
➡️ want to feel more at home in your body

All you need is a willingness to slow down, listen & explore - & a desire to get to know yourself.

Where to find me in Frome

Sept 1st & 3rd - Taster Classes - £5 (7 week term starting Sept 8th/10th)
Every Thursday

Wrote this post last year & I’m bringing it back to the grid today, because I still stand by all of it & I’d love for you all to know that yoga is not a brand, it’s not a 10 step product nor a quick fix. It’s also not something that anyone can own, it is for everyone; wherever you are in life, whatever your circumstances, yoga is there for you.

So be unapologetically you, practice in your pyjamas, in the kitchen when the kettle is boiling, for 1 minute before a meeting; you do not need to fit into a cookie cutter, one size fits all shape.

As Dolly would say “find out who you are and do it on purpose”

RIP Dolly ❤️

Hi, I’m Charlotte

If you’re new here, welcome.

I thought I would share a little about me & how I work.

I’m a certified yoga therapist & somatic movement therapist, with 15+ years of experience working with breath, movement, pain, stress & the nervous system.

My approach brings together somatics, therapeutic yoga, breath, mindfulness & neuroscience, creating space to slow down, notice what you’re experiencing & develop a deeper relationship with your body.

Rather than focusing on how a movement looks, we explore how it feels from the inside out.

This is at the heart of my Somatic Yoga classes.

What do you notice?
What do you feel?
What changes when you slow down?

There’s no need to be flexible, strong or experienced. My work is gentle, exploratory & adaptable to where you are.

If you’re looking for a space to feel calmer, more grounded & more connected, you are in the right place & I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s begin gently.

Put a Spring in Your Step & Jump Around

Your body is designed to respond to rhythm, bounce & gentle pulsing.

A little bounce can help calm the nervous system, hydrate & stimulate the fascia, improve circulation, wake up proprioception (your sense of where you are in space), & restore the body’s natural elastic recoil.

You may think of movement as stretching or strengthening, but your tissues also thrive on elasticity.

Fascia is a tensile, spring-like network that stores & releases energy with every step you take. When you move with rhythm & rebound, you help restore the body’s natural capacity to absorb, store & release energy with ease.
