I found Charisma a few months back after moving back to the Eastside and craving a place to dip my toes in a Kundalini practice. I find her to be an encouraging and empathetic teacher. She starts each day with a reflection or a "download" of sorts. It makes the room more comfortable energetically and allows attendees to drop their guards and breathe deeper. You may have seen Charisma from her Instagram videos where she creatively de-stigmatizes the Kundalini community/practice/culture by making it more relatable and easy to interpret. Her zest and joy for life is present in each individual interaction and it is true to her effervescent spirit. She values community and loves Mantra and chanting :). She was also very kind in putting up a phonetics board for the Mantras to help those of us who are more visual learners- thank you for making things so accessible! She has also helped me personally with posture adaptations and has been quick to respond to any and all questions that came up for me after class.
Kundalini Silverlake is more than a yoga class, it's a place where you can drop into a community of like minded Eastsiders who also want to add more vibrancy and deeper connections within themselves (and with others) and also to feed to the expansion of their auric field around them. Please join us and see what this post feels like- live in person!
I truly do appreciate you, Charisma. You were a light to look up to when I was low and still only researching "Kundalini near me." Thank you for creating such a beautiful energy during class and cultivating a heart centered community...
Read moreWhat a gift Charisma is! I had the pleasure of learning the basics from her in private sessions, she was not only kind and compassionate in creating a space for me to learn, but also was a key force in motivating me to push past my own borders and boundaries that my mind often creates. Her energy and excitement is contagious and inspiring, I love that she shares little nuggets of wisdom through meaningful poems, prose or song making each class more of an experience. She has helped me see my own capacity to sit in equanimity and flow with life, rather than fight against which is beyond 5stars!!. I highly suggest a private, group, or online...
Read moreMe and my husband were so lucky to find Charisma! My husband has been practicing yoga far longer than I have and we are able to attend together! Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advance she allows you to honor your body and still pushes you to breakthrough. When our yoga instructor moved to San Diego we didn't think we would be able to find a suitable replacement and we were so blessed when we found Charisma. No matter what level you practice, I urge you to practice Kundalini...
