I wanted to sink into my second pregnancy, connect with other women & create space for me. This course really allowed me to sit with my thoughts & challenged me to think about/consider parts of my pregnancy & postpartum that I had not been consciously thinking about or putting off. I loved the journaling, this allowed me to connect with what I truly wanted & needed & helped me cultivate trust in myself & my intuition. I also loved the physical movement of yoga which felt so good, I also loved the space & time to really embrace this baby, this pregnancy which resulted in a truly beautiful & present experience for me this second time around which I am so grateful for.

This is my second pregnancy & this time around I really wanted to be more mindful of the way I approach this stage of life. Getting to be part of this prenatal yoga course with Charlie has been not only an incredible way to connect to myself & baby but also with other women who are on this journey. It's been practical, peaceful & empowering.

Why this course, why now?
There has never been a more important time to come together, to recreate & rebuild 'The Village.'
An entire generation of women transitioned from maiden to mother through a pandemic. Alone, isolated, unable to have the pregnancy & birth experience they imagined & desperately deserve. Unable to access recourses, support groups or connect with other mothers.
Prior to the pandemic we have a generation that has forgotten how sacred this time is, there is little to no acknowledgement, understanding or appreciation as to what it takes to grow, birth & sustain human life as a mother in the modern world.
We are the only culture that does not honour this right of passage, if anything, we diminish in value & it has to stop.
Mothers are suffering. They are in pain. They are exhausted, overwhelmed, over stimulated & under supported but as with anything, change is possible. I know that the feminine is powerful, that rest is productive & that when we rise together in a true act of rebellion, in love, in light, in community, connection & collaboration we can & WILL dismantle history & rewrite herstory.
Be your own advocate. know your own worth & remember how truly remarkable you are.
I see you, mama.

The best decision I made during my pregnancy was enrolling in Charlie's Prenatal Yoga and Wellness Program. Having experienced depression and anxiety for much of my adult life, an overwhelming fear I held was how I would cope with pregnancy, birth and beyond, particularly due to my increased risk of post natal depression. Charlie's program opened space for me to share, without judgement, my insecurities, fears and trepidations surrounding my journey, and equipped me with the skills to approach the journey of motherhood with confidence and positivity. She inspired me to realise that it takes a community to raise a child and offered supportive advice and journaling opportunities so that each woman in the group could feel a sense of preparedness when our bundles arrived. The yoga sessions were also incredibly empowering, allowing me to learn how to move my body safely during pregnancy, as well as alleviate pain during labour by trusting my intuition and body. The process of birth was always spoken about as a beautiful journey, and mine became exactly that. I knew to trust myself, I knew birthing positions that felt good, and I knew that when I arrived home I would have my community of people there to support me in the way I needed.
Thank you Charlie xx
You truly made my first pregnancy, labour and post partum experience one of empowerment, strength and beauty.

"When we birth a child we also birth the mother" – Julia Jones
This is a role we have never been before, with each child we birth we unearth a new layer of ourselves. It's time to take care of the MOTHER; she is the key to happier & healthier generations to come. I genuinely believe together we can create positive & lasting change for all mothers & for the way western culture views & experiences pregnancy, birth & motherhood.
Today my ever erratic busy life & mind was made pause and I actually listened to my body in Charlie’s Yoga Practice. My mind connected with my body and felt the physical aches but also the emotional/spiritual need to stop, be vulnerable and listen.
Charlie is an authentic, knowledgeable empowering instructor with a very positive attitude. In her gentle nurturing manner she enables each student the space to trust their bodies, stop thinking with their head and allow their soul to actually breathe

Amazing, Charlie's yoga classes are the best thing for grounding, gratitude and self care. This is more than just Yoga. It deepens your senses with Charlie's insightful sharing and appreciation of wellbeing from a holistic perspective.
My week flows so much better after this class - my mind is clear and my body is centered. Thank you.

I have done a lot of different styles of yoga with a lot of different teachers. Charlie's classes are my all-time-favourite. It is not the style of yoga, it is the teacher. Charlie has amazing energy - she is focused, calm, centered, and enthusiastic. Charlie's classes are like having deep, relaxing massage, but you feel the satisfaction of achieving that feeling yourself. Her enthusiasm encourages you to work hard and explore your own limits. Pauses between asanas bring students more inward and help them experience more peace, calmness, and joy. The tone and tempo of her voice is nurturing and her clear, calm, and well modulated instruction helps you relax and release further into each shape. Every class is different and has a meaningful theme to stimulate you to think about more than asana and pranayama. This brings the experience together and makes a real impact.

FAQ
Is this live training?
No, these are pre recorded videos & self paced journaling practices. There is the intention to have LIVE monthly Women’s Circles of which will be assessed once we launch as to how logistically this will work with mamas joining from around the world.
Do I need to have practiced yoga before?
No, these classes are suitable for all ages & stages of pregnancy. Many women are introduced to yoga through a prenatal program. I will say though that as your pregnancy progresses, if you develop SI (Sacroiliac Joint) pain or SPD (Pubic Symphesis Dysfunction) seek medical advice or ideally work with an instructor privately that can see your physical limitations.
Do I need anything to begin?
Yes. Though you can use some things you have at home I highly recommend getting the appropriate props to fully support your practice. These can be purchased from yoga studios, online warehouses or in some cases budget retail stores. In this course I use a good quality mat, yoga blocks, strap & bolster (I highly highly recommend this) These props will then last year’s & chances are you will return to them again in for post partum practices or potentially future pregnancies. They are most certainly worth the small investment from the beginning. If you know you are IN on this course then head online & get ordering them NOW so they arrive ASAP.
How long is the course?
This is a personal choice, the course itself is designed from the second trimester onwards purely because In both my personal & professional experience adding any ‘additional’ things to do in the first trimester is challenging. Your body is changing so much in the early weeks, exhaustion & sickness is common & so I want you to rest rather than feel guilty for not diving right into the program. Haven said that, the classes are safe for all stages of pregnancy.
What if I’m already well into my pregnancy?
You can join at any time, I still advise beginning from the beginning & perhaps working with less time between classes/intentions. You can make the course whatever you need it to be and change the order if you want to
Is this appropriate if I want a VBAC or C section?
YES! This is an all inclusive course, the material in this course is about empowering you, we will discuss this more in the inner circle gatherings online also. There is only so much we can control in the natural arena of birth, I try to focus more on the areas we can control in terms of self care, post partum support etc rather than the birth itself because every women is different, every pregnancy & birth is different. There is NO right nor wrong here. It is a place of absolute support, none judgment or expectation.
Do I have to be ‘spiritual’?
No, there are no labels or dogma here. You are you, I advise that you take what resonates and simply leave the rest behind. There may be things that don’t align or that you don’t agree with, leave that & lean into the areas that really resonate
Does this provide 1:1 support from you?
No, though it is my intention to host online inner circles for this program as I genuinely believe when women come together at this time, magic happens. This is an unfolding part of the course that I cannot fully visualize until we are live & the course is running. But besides the inner circles, there is no direct one on one time with me. You can however leave comments in the course container & I will work through those & do my best to manage this. I am however in the process of creating more courses, self paced, small group coaching & 1:1 programs.
Can we stay connected?
YES I would LOVE that. I have a facebook business page but honestly I don’t like them, I would much rather cultivate genuine, intentional & meaningful connections so come on over to my personal FB page & lets be friends if this isn’t for you, you can also follow me on insta! (all social links in the footer below)
How long do I have access to this course?
How long do I have access to this course? Forever, this is lifetime access for you to enjoy throughout this & potentially other pregnancies. You will also automatically gain access to all changes, improvements & additions to this course as over time it will naturally evolve. There will be no additional charges.
Can I share this course with friends?
The mamas that have access to this information the better. We ask that you don't share your account, however you can share AND earn $$ through out affiliate program. This way we get to circulate money back to mothers & help ease the financial strain many feel when stepping away from the workspace.
Are there any refunds?
Yes.
