Charise found Yoga while raising her children. From the moment she stepped onto the mat, she found a sense of peace and connection to herself that was pleasantly unexpected. Practicing yoga allows Charise to challenge her muscles and quiet her mind, while also becoming more in tune with herself.  In 2022, Charise made the decision to pursue a teacher training program. She holds both 200 hour RYT and 25 hour Yin certifications. Most recently, she became a Reiki Practitioner. Charise loves teaching Gentle, Slow Flow, Restorative and Yin style classes - finding that they are most accessible to yogis of all levels, while still providing a challenge. 

When she's not on her mat, Charise may be found at the beach, hiking, reading, cooking, and searching for new and novel ways to improve her life and the lives of her husband, children, and beloved dog.
