Charlotte Cooper

Originally from the UK, Charlotte now calls the rugged and wild coast of western Portugal her home.Over a twenty-year period, yoga has woven itself into an integral part of Charlotte’s fabric of life.Chanced upon in her late teens, the grounding physical practices of yogasana, connecting mind, body, and spirit, gave her a guiding anchor during life's ups and downs.Over the years, this curiosity evolved into a dedication to self-inquiry.Studying under many teachers across different lineages, she draws predominantly from the schools of Vinyasa and Traditional Tantra through asana, meditation, mantra, and pranayama.With a passion for self-discovery and well-being and a wish to share them with others, she has been qualified and teaching since 2016 and became certified in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (CHhA UK) in 2017. She has also studied both Prenatal yoga (50 hours) and Yin Yoga (50 hours).The influence of a passion for music, singing, and dance and multiple travels to India all weave their way into her teachings.Charlotte tries to lead her life through the principles of authenticity, kindness, and curiosity - embracing the empowerment and playfulness they can bring.Her focus remains on the grounding practice of bringing us back to our physical bodies, finding our centered and authentic selves amidst the wildness of daily life in the modern world, and allowing room for both mental and spiritual expansion.Ultimately with the goal of allowing us to act from a connected and truthful place towards all beings.
