# Charlie Dare Yoga / Iyengar

Charlie Dare offers specialist Iyengar yoga instruction from Shepton Mallet, bringing precision-based yoga practice to Somerset. Iyengar yoga is distinguished by its meticulous attention to alignment, use of props, and therapeutic approach—making it accessible to practitioners of all ages and abilities.

Charlie teaches with notable expertise and gentle humility, as evidenced by client testimonials praising her knowledgeable instruction and ability to adapt classes to individual needs. Her Iyengar certification mark represents a commitment to excellence, clarity and depth of understanding within the discipline.

The business serves those seeking authentic, alignment-focused yoga practice rather than trendy fitness-style classes. This includes beginners, experienced practitioners, those managing injuries or physical limitations, and anyone seeking yoga as a genuine spiritual and physical discipline. The emphasis on proper alignment and prop use makes Iyengar particularly valuable for older practitioners and those with specific physical needs.

Charlie's standout qualities include her credentials in Iyengar yoga (a more rigorous certification than many yoga qualifications), her personalised teaching approach, and her transparent commitment to the discipline's traditional principles. Her presence in both Brixton and Rishikesh (a major yoga pilgrimage destination in India) reflects serious dedication to the practice.

Notably, Charlie has recently opened Light on Yoga Somerset, a dedicated Iyengar studio in nearby Castle Cary, expanding her capacity to serve the local community with specialist yoga instruction.
