HATHA FOUNDATIONS NAKED YOGA at Healing Space Ocean Beach

Hatha Foundations is a steady, grounding yoga practice centered on clarity, choice, and nervous system awareness. These classes emphasize foundational postures, breath-led movement, and intentional pacing to support strength, stability, and embodied presence.
Practices may move more slowly, with increased time spent in fewer postures. Clear alignment cues and multiple options are offered to support a wide range of bodies, experience levels, and capacities. This approach is supportive for newer students as well as experienced practitioners who are seeking a more grounded, sustainable relationship with practice.
In this season, particular attention is given to joint preparation, steady standing work, and gradual integration toward the floor. Over time, classes may include warrior sequencing, balance work, and heart-opening postures — always approached with steadiness and respect for individual pacing.
Rest is always welcome. Modifications are encouraged. Classes typically close with a quiet śavāsana, allowing time for integration and settling.

Pricing & Accessibility
These classes use an equity-based pricing model to support access across a range of financial realities. Tiered pricing options are offered so you can choose the rate that feels sustainable for you at this time — no explanation required.
Paying at a higher tier helps support the accessibility of these classes for others in the community. This model relies on shared care, discernment, and an honest relationship with one’s own resources. The intention is collective support.
If you find yourself unclear about which tier is most appropriate for you, you’re warmly encouraged to reach out. Questions and conversations are welcome. Equity-based pricing is something Charlie holds with care in their teaching, and it is understood as part of how we practice yoga off the mat as well as on it.

About Charlie
Charlie’s practice is rooted first and foremost in Bhakti yoga — the path of devotion. From the beginning of their time in yoga studios, Charlie was shaped by teachers for whom movement was only one expression of a much larger practice grounded in reverence, relationship, and presence.
Trained in both Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga, Charlie approaches movement as a vehicle for devotion rather than an end in itself. Attention is placed less on choreography and more on listening — to sensation and the quiet intelligence of the body.
In this season, Charlie’s classes emphasize Hatha Foundations: slower, intentional practices that support alignment, strength-building, and embodied awareness. Depending on the needs of the room, classes may include gentle flow, longer pauses, and restorative elements — all held in a way that supports choice, steadiness, and sustainability.
Charlie is honored to be teaching with the San Diego Naked Yoga community and approaches each class as a shared practice — shaped by consent, curiosity, and trust in the wisdom already present within the body.
