About Charlotte Douglas:
Charlotte is an experienced yoga therapist; certified by the IAYT, and trained by the Wisdom Institute of Yoga who offer trauma informed, evidence based yoga therapy programmes.
Charlotte is originally from the UK but has lived in Hong Kong with her family for 13 years. She believes passionately that the practice of yoga is not just about physical well-being, but rather a much more holistic wellness approach. It’s about finding a sense of ease within the body. She offers a truly collaborative approach that is not bound to any one system or method of yoga. Instead, Charlotte brings together a unique combination of postural yoga, breath-work, somatics, meditation and mindfulness.
Charlotte believes that a practice of mindfulness is integral to developing a capacity to be aware of our internal state and therefore our ability to chose what to focus on. These tools range from simple and easy to do developmental movements to complex mobility tasks as a way to ‘wake up’ the brain without strain or injury. When incorporated into our lives, mindful movement can help us to build the tools and resources for greater levels of resilience.

HARNESSING THE POWER OF OUR HAMSTRINGS (AND GLUTES)
Harnessing the Power of Our Hamstrings (and Glutes) - A special workshop by David Kim.
Fee: HK$380
Date: 22 April 2024 (Monday)
Time: 2:30-4pm
Venue: The Yoga Room, Sheung Wan
Many yoga practices prioritize passive stretching of the hamstrings and gluteus maximus, which are key components of our “posterior chain.” Overemphasizing mobility/stretching over stability/strengthening of these large muscle groups can potentially create muscular imbalances or compensation patterns, such as relying too heavily on back muscles to maintain upright posture, when walking. In this 90-minute asana practice, we will shift the familiar mantra of “lengthening” to one of “strengthening,” by tweaking traditional postures within the scope of classic hatha practice.
This approach may be particularly helpful for regular yoga students who do not have a complementary strength or resistance-training program, or who are hypermobile.
*Six months or more of regular yoga practice recommended.

CREATIVE PROPPING: YIN YOGA
Creative Propping: Yin Yoga - A special workshop by David Kim.
Fee: HK$380
Date: 22 April 2024 (Monday)
Time: 4:30-6pm
Venue: The Yoga Room, Sheung Wan
Different body types adapt to different asana shapes in myriad ways, aided by creative uses of props. Yin yoga encourages this exploration of prop management, giving each student the freedom to target specific body regions for the most effective stretch, stimulation, or comfort. The biggest challenge for many students is making the effort to customize their Yin postures in non-traditional ways.
This 90-minute Yin class will help students push past those boundaries by offering a yoga-prop-heavy menu of creative Yin-asana variations that will expand and refine their template of go-to postures.
*Six months or more of regular Yin yoga practice recommended.

Sports Therapist & Pilates Instructor Ruth Larkin has worked in London for 15 years before coming to Hong Kong. As a popular therapist she has rehabilitated all sorts of injuries but also specialised in Post-natal Pilates classes and teacher trainings which have a true focus on healing mums and not just entertaining babies. Your pelvic health is important and whatever your history, no one should put up with unnecessary pain or dysfunction.
In this workshop, Ruth will help you to understand the anatomy of the pelvis and all the muscles we need think about to train this area properly. There is more to it than you might think but we will make it much easier to understand. All manner of circumstances can affect pelvic function and there is no need to be embarrassed – you will have the opportunity to ask questions, learn simple but truly effective exercises for you to take control going forward and also have time to relax. You will be amazed how much improvement in your posture and overall strength can be achieved though understanding and healing your pelvic floor.

The heightened energy of this day is conducive for meditation, raising our awareness and aligning to our heart’s truth. A Tea Ceremony is a way to rest in the space of our true Self and cultivate inner harmony and awakened presence through remembering our connection to nature. Learn and receive Tea as a plant medicine - the same way it was used by the aboriginal shamans and ancient sages of China for thousands of years.
We will share Tea in silence and then offer our voice in song. The ceremony will be followed by a devotional kirtan offering, sharing and reflections.
