About

“to be blythe…” pronounced blithe from the Old English bliþe… "happy, joyful, lighthearted."

Hello YOU!

Thank you so much for being here today. I'm Charlotte and I strive to be blythe!

I'm a yoga teacher, massage therapist & energy worker. I’m officially 300+ hours YTT trained. Unofficially, many hours have gone into my self practice and personal well being.

be blythe is a virtual and physical community that creates space for individual support, group immersion in nature, earthly connection and healing.  I can’t wait to share the journey with you. 

In 2010 I suffered a huge personal loss, crushing everything I thought to be true. She was 11 months old. Her name was Blythe. 

Since then, I have been guided towards the ever-unfolding and healing powers of gratitude, fasting, breath work, yoga, cold water immersion - wild swimming, meditation and massage. 

These disciplines have slowly become daily practice, as surely as waves break upon the shore. They become a choice. An inner voice. An intention that grows and guides how we show up in the world.

In 2020, my father and I decided to tackle his physical well-being. Dad turned 75 that year, struggled with movement and was resigned to a limited way of living. We embarked on a 30-day challenge of movement.

After a few months of daily dedication, Dad got his mobility and his mojo back. Since then he's been on adventures to the Peak District to watch sunrises and recently rode 440 miles across Europe!

The idea of creating a safe space to share my practice has been bubbling for years, it's a way to honour my Blythe too. It’s an acknowledgment that it's okay to be lost, to grieve, to seek acceptance, strength and comfort. I survived a storm by showing up for myself and swimming in the sea - and I believe you can too.

Together, let's open the doors to your potential and reclaim your inner nature...

Join me on this adventure!

All my love Charlotte x

TESTIMONIALS

"In November 2023, I was able to enjoy an Ayurvedic massage with Charlotte as part of a yoga retreat in the middle of the Sahara. I have never experienced such a special and soothing massage before. Charlotte was totally attuned to me, my needs and health challenges and treated them with a lot of know-how, incredible appreciation, great compassion and a lot of calm. The room was bathed in warm light, the air smelled pleasantly and the lounger was very comfortable. This atmosphere also helped me a lot because I was able to let myself go and open up. Charlotte has “magic hands”...she works very sensitively, carefully and powerfully at the same time. She feels exactly which parts of the body needs which pressure and attention. The massage was an experience for body, mind and soul...I would want to enjoy the massage again at any time and can only warmly recommend it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" ~ Michaela Zupancic Coach

This is so much more than a sports massage! It really helped me identify areas of tightness that I now know I need to work on. But even more important was the emotional release of stored up tensions. The breath-work is really powerful, Charlotte is a talented manipulator and brilliant listener. Truly the best thing I did for my own well-being in 2023. I recommend it to everyone. ~Alan Sarafoglou Financial Advisor

Charlotte's Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is probably the best ever experience. I did not know what it means exactly but coming out of it I felt not only super soft, relaxed and nourished but also deeply touched by the passion and dedication of our great friend and bright light. Expect the unexpected. We definitely have a new treat in town. Tell your friends and neigbours!!!!!! Thank you Charlotte  love you! ~ Bettina Ji Kundalini Yoga Teacher

“The skills that Charlotte taught me will remain with me forever. I used to be a perfectionist, if i couldn’t do it, I’d failed. But Charlotte taught me the power of INTENTION which changed everything and released me from that pointless pursuit. I feel the physical and mental benefits of Yoga and the older I get (and the more I feel stiff in the morning getting out of bed!) the more grateful I am for these life skills. Of course the ‘icing on the cake’ for working with Charlotte is her empathy and sticking with us all through the darkest moments of the pandemic. For some, Joe Wickes was their household name, their guiding star through it all. Ours, FOR OUR CHILDREN also! was Charlotte Ellis. “ ~ Jack Ellis CEO Neurocandy

Charlotte is an amazing yoga teacher! She has a cohesive approach to her teaching that not only develops ones yoga practice, but develops a sense of community. I found the outdoor yoga practices connected and grounded me not only to nature but my sense of place in my environment. Thank you for all you do for us. ~Karen Vost Art Therapist

I feel Charlotte truly understands the true meaning of yoga, spiritual connectedness, freedom to be us just as we are in the moment and health through movement in community. She is more than your average Joe Yoga teacher, bringing all of herself to her classes. Thank you Charlotte for loving us and our children. ~Emma Newman Councillor

I wrote a poem for Charlotte because I had the most liberating, cathartic day with her on my 71st birthday. I was feeling lost, disconnected and sad. Her energy, spirit led me not just on a walk but steps towards finding a way to let go of the past and be open to change. Her thoughtfulness in all that we did, from barefoot walking on the beach. Sitting breathing, yoga movements that carried me up into a peacefulness and happiness I’d long lost and sustained in an earth focused circle with steaming hot ceremonial cacao. She had thought of everything. As I ran into the sea I realised I can try new ways. It was Charlotte's ability to see what I needed, to encourage and her expertise in making the experience both mindful and energising but most of all her charismatic personality took me from my comfort zone and set me free. I’m so glad the chance meeting and the impression of deep caring she left in me that propelled me to ring her and ask her to organise a day together. It’s changed my life!" Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ~ Susan Copzor Artist
