# Surya Chandra Yoga
Surya Chandra Yoga is a yoga teaching practice run by Charlotte Couse, based in Poole and Purbeck. Charlotte specialises in Sivananda yoga, a traditional, fully-rounded approach to yoga practice that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, relaxation and spiritual elements.
Charlotte brings exceptional depth to her teaching through extensive training across multiple disciplines. She has completed teacher training at Sivananda ashrams in Austria, the Bahamas and India, and has studied advanced breathing techniques (Sadhana Intensive) in Madurai. Her qualifications extend beyond yoga to include a BSc Honours degree and licence in acupuncture from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, which informs a holistic understanding of the body and wellbeing.
Her classes are designed to be accessible to all levels, beginning with pranayama (breathing techniques), progressing through warm-ups and asanas (postures), and concluding with 15 minutes of final relaxation and spiritual reading. She provides modifications for all postures, creating a safe and encouraging atmosphere for every student. Charlotte has also trained in complementary approaches including Yin Yoga based on traditional Chinese Medicine principles, and Yoga Nidra.
This combination of deep Sivananda training, international ashram experience, acupuncture qualification, and diverse yoga specialisms makes Charlotte distinctive. She offers genuinely integrated teaching that addresses physical, mental and spiritual dimensions of yoga practice.
