Introducing Charlotte, Certified Grounded Kid…and her yoga perspective
I introduce to you, Charlotte, Certified Grounded Kid. This is her fifth year in the Fernbank Elementary after-school yoga club and is one of my greatest teachers.
Yoga
My name is Charlotte Walker. I have been taking yoga since I was 5.
It’s always been fun but I didn’t realize how important it is to me, until this year.
Most girls around the age of 9 start to notice things getting complicated especially in friendship.Â
Even if it’s not happening specifically to you, you still see other girls getting teased or left out for the strangest reason.Â
But yoga is a place where people can be theirselves not worrying about what others think.
It’s also where you can simply relax and think of the positives.
Overall to me yoga is a place where I can go, even after a rough day, to just breathe.
Charlottes Bio:
Charlotte Walker is your average fourth grade girl. After school she does gymnastics, reading bowl, and of course yoga. Charlotte lives in Atlanta Georgia with her parents, her brother, her sister, her dogs, and her rabbits.

Found: This Fear escaped from a very Grounded 9 year old’s first chakra. Her thighs were rooted and her connection to the earth was solid. She faced her fears, and actually whispered to herself, “I have the Right to be Here.” After the Fear escaped she felt even more Grounded and Elevated and aware of where she was in space.
Charlotte’s Web is a celebration of the quiet virtues. It reminds us to keep a soft tender heart, accept our true nature, and value the unique gifts of our friends. The two main characters of Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte and Wibur, highlight the awareness of our own unique inner story.
