behind the studio


hi there, I'm charlotte!
mama of breathe strength

opening up a yoga studio has been a dream dancing in my mind for a few years now.
and it's finally time. here's how it all started.

my healing journey began in 2010.

after unexpectedly losing my mom and, shortly after, being diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (a fancy term for genetically high cholesterol), I went from a carefree 17-year-old, to a responsible, health-conscious young woman. and it all happened very quickly.

since then, even more tough life situations and health hiccups have come charging forward, kicking sand in my face and knocking me over, but each time I've rose above.

I was so lucky to grow up around such a positive, supportive, loving family. a family that encouraged happiness and love, no matter what the circumstance. that has really allowed me to propel forward into possibility instead of getting stuck in my discomfort.

to this day, I am still healing. I am still uncovering the mental scarring that comes with losing a parent so young. I am still getting used to the difference of my diet compared to the diets of those around me. I think I always will be -- but I know I will always rise above; I breathe strength.

"healing" seems to be a buzzword these days -- but that's because we all have something to heal from.   everyone's story is different. everyone's journey is different. everyone's needs are different.

but we are all in it together.


healing is multifaceted. so is this studio. keep an eye out for our grand-opening -- you'll see exactly what we mean by that. ;)
