How yoga can breathe new life into the very core of your day

November is all about the mo and the moves for Movember, a global charity committed to men living happier, healthier and longer lives. We meet three of the charity’s Mo Bros and Mo Sistas helping raise awareness.

Working in an office never felt quite right for Londoner Charlotte Johnson. “It wasn’t just that I wanted to be outside on the few days of the year when it was sunny, I didn’t feel like what I was doing was meaningful.”

She grew up always on the move – “cartwheels, making up dance routines with friends, gymnastics and running around” – so when the opportunity arose for the dedicated yogi to train as a yoga teacher and combine her passions, she seized it.

“I like how yoga adds value to people’s lives. When some people come into a class you can see their stress; it physically manifests in their body. Their shoulders are up to their ears and their body is stiff and tense. And at the end of the class you can see how that stress has evaporated – they feel good.”

Johnson is channelling her energetic spirit for a greater cause in November as part of the “move for Movember” campaign, raising funds and awareness for men’s health issues through advocating the importance of exercise.
