About me

Hi, I'm Charlotte, the person behind Aether Yoga. I created this community and my forest yoga day retreats to bring people together to practise all limbs of yoga - from physical asana to breathwork, meditation and reflection - in nature 🧘🌳.

My journey

I started experimenting with yoga poses and reading books on meditation as a child. I took different classes on and off and experimented with many forms of meditation (it got weird) until, in 2023, I decided to go to Nepal for my Yoga Teacher Training.

Daily life had kept me stuck in my head a lot of the time: writing essays sat in bed, hunched over screens in desk jobs. I needed to breathe, stretch, and connect back to my body.

Why I teach

I still have the desk job, I still can’t do every asana, but I do have a little bit of peace in my head that I can retreat to and I want to share that with people. It’s a dream to be able to do that in the woods: people come in from all walks of life and connect, unwind and have fun.

My style

My yoga style has evolved from that early sense of play: I like flow, primal movement, not being too prescriptive about alignment and allowing people to explore the practice through their own anatomy.

I always pop in hip and chest openers to counter the ways our everyday lives keep us scrunched up and I focus on building strength as well as flexibility.

When I’m not teaching

I’m also a course designer, I love festivals and music, I strength train, I love to travel to new places and to walk with my dog Fox in the woods.

The name ‘Aether’

In Greek philosophy, ‘aether' is the celestial glue that connects everything. It's the invisible threads that tie us to the cosmos and each other.

Yoga from the ancient traditions is from the sanskrit ‘yuj’: connection. All about connecting mind, body, and spirit.

Choosing 'Aether Yoga' as the name is a commitment to creating a space for everyone to connect with themselves, each other and nature all around us.
