About Charlie
My name is Charlie. I am a yoga teacher, Thai massage practitioner, and an eternal learner on life's journey.
Born in Myanmar, I settled in Paris after fifteen years in Bali. My background in early childhood education and teaching English has always guided me toward the same goal: to support each individual in their learning and personal growth. Today, teaching yoga and offering massages are a natural extension of this calling to help, support, and create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves.
How yoga found me
My journey to yoga began almost ten years ago, almost by chance, during a class in Bali where I had followed a friend without much conviction.
I had already tried yoga and was convinced it wasn't for me. Yet, that day, something opened up. Perhaps it was the teacher, perhaps it was the moment… but a spark was ignited, and I never stopped practicing.
At first, nothing was easy: I sweated, I stumbled, I struggled between control and letting go. Then, with patience, yoga began to reveal to me who I truly was.
When the pandemic turned our lives upside down, I delved deeper into this path and completed my training with two teachers who had inspired me from the very beginning. Yoga became my anchor during a time of uncertainty, helping me rediscover my inner light and return to what truly matters.
Why I teach
Teaching yoga is a source of joy and meaning for me. It's a way to share what I've received and to support each person on their own path. With my experience in education, leading classes naturally emerged as a continuation of my teaching vocation.
Yoga has taught me to embrace my breath, my body, and my emotions, to live each moment fully. Some days are more difficult, I sometimes stumble, but I always get back up. This practice reminds me that every moment is an opportunity to learn, to let go, to grow, and to begin again.
Thai massage holds an equally important place in my journey. Long drawn to the healing power of touch, I studied in Chiang Mai and discovered how yoga and Thai massage complement each other. I love helping people feel more open, more grounded, and more relaxed.
Whether you come to stretch, breathe, release tension or simply find your center, it will be a true honor to accompany you.
