Charlene Hannibal

Charlene was born and raised in Portland, Oregon where her interest in kinesthetics began at an early age having trained rigorously as a classical pianist and ballet dancer.  She spent 12 years as a professional dancer in Portland and the Bay Area and holds a degree in English from UC Berkeley.

Charlene became a certified yoga instructor in 2001 and has been teaching yoga and ballet to children, babies and adults ever since, with the youngest at 18 months of age and the most mature at the age of 85.

Her philosophy as a Gokhale Method instructor involves teaching students how to grow their own body awareness.  Her extensive experience within the disciplines of ballet and yoga has informed her expertise as a Gokhale Method instructor, as she is continually fascinated by the subtlety and structural beauty of the human body.  Charlene’s teaching is inspired by watching her posture students transform into brighter, more energetic and open people as they fulfill each lesson. She is the main Gokhale Method instructor of the Palo Alto wellness center in California.
