In 1999,
Charley took
her first
Ujjayi
breath and
found her
yoga
practice.
In 2004,
Charley’s
first yoga
teacher, Ann
Hyde, urged
her to
teach.
Under Ann’s
influence,
Charley
completed
teacher
training
programs
with Robert
Boustany in
2005 and Ana
Forrest in
2006.
During
Robert’s
training,
Charley was
introduced
to Billie
Gollnick,
Julie Byrd,
and Srivatsa
Ramaswami.
Charley
began
studying
classical
yoga with
Billie
Gollnick,
and
continues to
learn the
eight limbs
of yoga from
Billie,
inside and
outside of
the
classroom.
At the same
time,
Charley
started
studying
Recuperative
Yoga with
Julie Byrd
and is
currently
enrolled in
Julie’s
Recuperative
Yoga Teacher
Training.
Charley
completed
Srivatsa
Ramaswami’s
Vinyasakrama
Teacher
Training in
2006, and
continued
studying
Vinyasakrama
with Pam
Johnson.
In 2005,
Charley
began
studying
Qigong and
Tai Chi with
DaSifu Shi
De Shan of
the Houston
Shaolin
Temple. She
continues
her studies
at the
temple and
considers
Qigong and
Tai Chi a
very
important
part of her
personal
practice.
Charley’s
classes show
influences
from all of
her
teachers.
However, her
point of
focus comes
back to that
first Ujjayi
breath.
Charley
hopes to
instill in
all her
students the
essence of
yoga: the
union of
mind, body,
and breath
as a tool to
unite with
one’s true
self.
