Charm Donohue
Creativity has always been a big part of my life, from childhood to textile designer, then on to the most important -becoming a parent. After 15 years of a dedicated yoga practise, choosing to train as a Hatha Yoga teacher was a way of establishing self-care. Through teaching I combine the most important elements in my life: yoga, creativity and people.
I enjoy focused teaching one to one, and my adult classes in East Finchley are small sized, friendly groups.
Since my initial training I have delved into more area, such as Children's yoga & Teens. This has led to sharing yoga with nursery children at Coram's Fields, Monkey Puzzle and in local primary schools. It's fun, creative, and inspiring to see how children respond to yoga.
My personal favourite age to work with are Teens, as I feel it’s such an important time for them to be in tune with their feelings and bodies. The experience of yoga can be both grounding and empowering. This can help them to make better choices and to be open to what life brings.

Why Yoga
Hatha Yoga is the balance of physical practice with an inner connection. The movement increases our strength and flexibility, but when synced with the breath we approach a mindful awareness. To increase our wellbeing brings a deeper understanding of ourselves; of others and of our world.
Teen Yoga
Teen yoga is about empowerment through mindful movement. The connection with body and breath results in feelings of stability and being comfortable with who they during a time of transition.
