Dr Charlotte Vik.
Introduction to Mindful Yoga and Mindfulness.
About me
Hello, I'm Dr Charlotte.
I'm delighted to be sharing this new and unique course which blends mindfulness, yoga and self compassion into one practice.
My intention in developing and sharing this course is simple - to make mindfulness and its benefits more accessible to anyone interested in improving their wellbeing.
I'm a qualified clinical psychologist, yoga teacher, mindfulness supervisor and research author based in the UK. I have over 20 years experience teaching and practicing mindfulness, yoga, and psychology.
After many years of practicing mindfulness, yoga and psychology - personally and professionally - I began systematically merging mindfulness and yoga using evidence-based techniques.
I discovered that this blended approach to mindfulness and yoga not only improved my emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health but that mindfulness also became much easier to learn and practice.
Mindful yoga has transformed my well-being in so many positive ways that I've lost count! I now want to share the benefits of this unique transformative mind-body practice with you.
In this introductory course, you will learn how to practice mindful yoga and mindfulness at your own pace from the comfort of your own home.
Step by step, you will practice the basic principles and skills of mindfulness using yoga asanas, mindfulness meditations, home practices and reflective exercises.
Through this guided content, you will learn how to transform yoga postures into a deeper mind-body practice, and how to use mindful yoga and mindfulness in daily life to promote self-care and reduce stress, anxiety and overwhelm.
This course is for anyone wanting to:
- Learn how to practice mindful yoga
- Learn new ways to practice mindfulness to improve wellbeing
- Gain greater skills and experiential knowledge in mindfulness
- Increase self-development and personal growth.
Mindful yoga will help you:
-Reconnect with the present and be more mindful
-Know how to be kinder and less judgemental towards yourself
-Reduce your stress, enhance your mood and focus
-Increase self-awareness
-Improve your emotional and mental wellbeing.
-Improve your mobility, strength, and flexibility whilst your nervous system will be calmed through guided breathwork.
At the end of this introductory course, you will:
- Know what mindful yoga is and how to practice it
- Feel confident weaving mindfulness skills into any yoga or movement practice going forward
-Know how to use mindfulness to deepen your yoga practice and support personal development
- Learn easy and accessible ways to practice mindfulness in your daily life to support your wellbeing

- Increase mind-body awareness to support your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
- Improve your mobility, strength, and flexibility.

I will be releasing more courses in the future which focus on improving emotional and physical wellbeing using mindfulness and a range of evidence based psychology approaches.
Warmest wishes
Charlotte
