About Charlie Merton Yoga Teacher and Energy Healer

Yoga is for everyone – of all ages, shapes and sizes – intact the less flexible you are, the more reason there is to do it!

“Sometimes we lose sight of the fact we are all individuals and we are ALL perfect, we get caught in that idea that yoga is a function of beauty, when yoga is an expression of beauty, discipline, sacrifice and love. Yoga teaches us to feel with our hearts and experience with our bodies. Remember everyone can do yoga. We breathe, we feel, we stretch, and we connect fully to ourselves, even if we don’t look like a supermodel.”

On a trip to Kerala, India, I was participating in a yoga class taught by a local young Indian man. It was a great class, and the postures we practised were dynamic and advanced, however many of the other participants were fairly new to yoga and seemed anxious about moving into some of these postures. After the class the teacher came over to me and said in a very kind voice with pidgin English “it is very nice to see someone so fat be flexible and strong in the postures, it was good for the other students to see, thank you for coming”. Now, as am sure you can imagine my usual reaction on hearing the dreaded word fat would be to bristle and get upset (naturally, as the western-conditioned ego gets offended, even if truthful). Thankfully, before I had a chance to respond, my initial shock at the comment actually made me take a breath, and step back reflectively and I quickly realised this wasn’t intended as an offensive/judgement comment about my size and, in fact, the teacher was making a compliment and a valid point: anyone can do yoga, no matter what size, shape, physical ability (or disability), colour, religion, etc.

I design my classes so that they are accessible for everyone, of all levels of ability by offering options and variations to suit all strengths and flexibilities. I aim to provide a balance between challenge and relaxation within each class. All classes work to focus on deeply connecting to your SELF, working to balance the mind, body and emotions through combining breath, movement and meditation.
