The Yoga Teacher
Charmaine is a Yoga Alliance 500-hour RYT and has been teaching yoga since 2004.
She was certified as a yoga teacher by Robert Boustany in 2004, and by Ana Forrest in 2007. She has trained with Rod Stryker, John Friend, and Doug Keller, and and will be doing Ana's Advanced teacher training at Kripalu in August 2010.
The Athlete
Running is my first love and I've raced ultra distance competitively since 1991. My main event in South Africa was the Comrades Marathon, one of the world's top ultra-distance races. High intensity training often led to chronic injury caused by muscle imbalances and tightness.Yoga made all the difference. Since living in the USA I've run six marathons and three ultra marathons and remain injury-free. 
How does yoga help athletes?
Yoga helps by adding resilience, strength, and teaching proper alignment. Yoga improves endurance and teaches mind-body awareness and a strong focus on the breath.
The pillars of Forrest Yoga are Breath, Strength, Integrity, and Spirit. Forrest Yoga teaches you to go deeper, find your truth, and take these gifts beyond the mat and into your life.
Classes and workshops are designed for all levels of practice so anyone can start at anytime.
My MISSION in teaching yoga is to create a supportive and non-competitive space where you can learn and grow.I strive to empower my students, making classes challenging, inspiring and fun.
