CHARYM MEANS BEAUTY

that beauty is you.

YOGA AND MEDITATION FOR LIFE

"Charym" is the Bhutanese word for beauty. We offer yoga, meditation and fusion classes which weave yoga, Pilates, dance and fitness. Our teachers are supportive, passionate and lifelong students themselves. Our studio is inspired by zen temples and the gentle, happy people of Bhutan. Join us and re-discover your inherent strength, wholeness and inner peace.

ALEXANDRA CHAMPALIMAUD

Charym is a yoga center founded by Alexandra Champalimaud. Charym's Center Studio is an oasis of tranquility, located in the heart of West Street Yard in Litchfield, an award-winning adaptive reuse of a 19th-century lumberyard designed by Champalimaud. Repeatedly voted Best Yoga Studio in Connecticut, Charym has become a well-loved part of the local community and a wonderful weekend destination for busy New Yorkers.

At Charym, we teach you how to learn yoga and somatic healing practices through the enjoyment of them. There is no substitute for your pleasure or your curiosity. Allow us to nurture your alignment to wholeness through movement and breathwork you’ll love.

“You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.”

—Stacy London
