Charlotte Bentley

I am Charlotte, I am a 300 hour British Yoga Teacher and I am also a MY Menopause Yoga Teacher.

I grew up in Dorset, moved away to university, where I completed a degree in Geography. I probably spent a bit too much time on the river there, I was captain of women’s boats and one of the first women’s crews to row at Henley Royal Regatta in the 1990s. I moved to London after university and worked in the wholesale fashion industry where I met my husband. I was always a keen runner, and did 4 London marathons while I lived there.

We returned to Dorset in 2006, we live in a little village with our daughter and two lurchers who love a run up the hill. I helped run the family business in Blandford until we sold it in 2023.

Yoga has been a part of my life, on and off since I was 16, through the covid lockdown, whilst spinning lots of plates, including keeping the business going, I discovered how important my daily practice is.

Yoga can be so many things to different people. As we evolve, we need to keep moving, keep listening to the messages our bodies send, and learn how to keep ourselves safe. Yoga is a great starting point on a wellbeing, fitness or longevity journey and a great addition to an active lifestyle. Rather than constantly pushing, we should meet our level of stress with an equal level of rest.
