# Surya Chandra Yoga
Surya Chandra Yoga, based in Poole, is run by Charlotte Couse, an experienced yoga instructor specialising in Sivananda yoga—a traditional, holistic approach to yoga practice that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, relaxation and spiritual development.
Charlotte serves students of all levels across the Poole and Purbeck areas, offering fully-rounded classes designed to be accessible whether you're a complete beginner or experienced practitioner. Her teaching emphasises creating a safe, encouraging atmosphere where students receive modifications for every posture, ensuring everyone can participate meaningfully.
What distinguishes Surya Chandra Yoga is Charlotte's extensive training and multi-disciplinary expertise. She holds advanced qualifications across three Sivananda ashrams internationally (Austria, the Bahamas, and India), complemented by specialist training in Yin Yoga with Sarah Lo and Yoga Nidra with Melanie Cooper. This breadth of experience means she can offer nuanced, informed instruction.
Additionally, Charlotte holds a BSc (Hons) and Licence to Practise Acupuncture from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. This qualification in both traditional Chinese and Five Element acupuncture, combined with her study of Western medicine and anatomy, enriches her yoga teaching with holistic health understanding. Her class structure—beginning with pranayama (breathing), progressing through asana (postures), and concluding with 15 minutes of final relaxation and spiritual reading—reflects this integrated wellness philosophy.
