Meet the Manager

Charla O.

Manager

Her yoga journey began in a New York City conference room through a company sponsored program in 2002.

The experience left her seeking more opportunities to enjoy this powerful practice of mindfulness and in the fall of 2007, Charla enrolled in a Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Program with Master Teacher Bill Raup to earn her 200 hour certification.

Since then, she has studied with power yoga pioneer Bryan Kest, Thai Yoga Massage expert Michael Buck and Yoga Babies creator, Gail Silver.

Having taught a range of classes throughout Philadelphia and neighboring suburbs, including her own busy tots, she knows first hand the benefits of a yoga practice for children of all ages. She continues to inspire and connect with all of her students through equal parts, encouragement, laughter and fun.

I feel so incredibly fortunate to have this space just a mile and a half from my home. I started out with the $ 30 for 30 days deal and have since become a member, and I cannot say enough good things about this studio. I’ve taken classes with almost all of the instructors, and love all the ones I’ve tried. There’s a great range of classes, from the total beginner class to general, all-​levels classes to challenging power classes — and I absolutely LOVE that they offer restorative classes on a weekly basis. The owners are great too, and everyone seemed to remember my name after just one class! The other students are the icing on the cake — everyone is so friendly, there is absolutely no judgment here. I simply love practicing at this studio!

I have been a member at Become for almost a year now, and it has become a very important part of my life. Not only have the staff and teachers at Become helped me to deepen my love for my practice, but they have created a nice, welcoming community of people who come to the studio, and it feels like home to me now.
There is a variety of classes from which you can choose, depending on what style of yoga you prefer to practice and your experience; moreover, while in class, modifications are always offered and there is always the sense that your practice is your practice– there is no competition or pressure to be or do anything that isn’t you at that moment. The schedule is perfect for working people, and there is a kids’ class, too, on Saturday mornings.
All of the teachers are competent, sensitive and dedicated to their own practice and to helping you to develop your own. Become also offers a variety of great workshops – an alignment workshop, partner yoga, yoga to live music, candlelight restorative, inversion workshops and many more.
It’s so nice to have a great studio so close to home. I highly recommend Become to anyone interested in yoga at any level. You will find an amazing opportunity to discover and grow your practice here within a supportive environment.

joined with many questions and was not sure if this studio was «right» for me as I am not really a public exercise person. I was also worried about pretentious yogis. Become Yoga is the farthest from this — they are warm and always so welcoming.
Have been to several «Newbie» sessions and am hooked. I love it — Sara is very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I definitely feel stronger and more flexible after every practice. Wish I had joined sooner.
update: every workshop or class my guy and I have attended has been welcoming, with each instructor super knowledgeable and patient. Sara has been most helpful and attentive to little needs we may bring to any given practice. We both feel stronger and certainly more flexible!

I have now been to three classes and have loved them! The instructors have helped me to learn about my body and what it can do. They have taken the time to work with me on proper positioning and modifications of poses. It is a little gem in Lansdowne!

Great little studio above the Historic Lansdowne Theatre, with very friendly instructors who teach to all different levels. I started when they opened in mid-​June, have been going pretty regularly, and have met some very nice acquaintances, including the owners, who are a really nice couple. They emphasize individual practice, so it’s very non-​competitive. I’m still new to it, but have noticed difference in upper body strength, and the tension that I usually carry in my shoulders seems to have gone away with regular practice. And, I’m always secretly elated when I hear my spine cracking during and after practice. :)

Love it LOVE IT! For the past 5 or 6 years I’ve been «chasing the high» of my first and favorite yoga instructor with little success and lots of dollars down the drain. The first class on opening day at Become Yoga with Charla ended my search! She pushes me, pulls me, makes me stronger, and makes me laugh every time. I’ve also been to classes lead by Sarah, Empress and Haji and really love how they bring their own personal touch to their teaching.
I highly recommend Become Yoga to anyone interested in beginning or continuing their practice. Not only are the instructors fantastic, but you’d be hard pressed to find a better value for your dollar.
UPDATE — just wanted to add that I’ve been now been a member of Become for several months and the place just keeps getting better as it matures. Since opening several new classes added, the schedule is broad and varied, there are frequent special workshops, and the studio space keeps growing & transforming. Awesomeness.

I went to my first class at Become Yoga last night (Power Yoga with Charla). There was an awesome deal on Groupon that I couldn’t pass up, and I’ve been looking for an affordable yoga studio for a while. I hadn’t been to a yoga class since the winter, so I was a little worried about getting started again. To second what Lisa says, I loved how everybody in the class came from all different levels, the studio was super relaxing and unpretentious, and Charla gave the class a great vibe. Power Yoga was really challenging, but I felt like a million bucks afterwards. I’m definitely coming here again!

Walked by here a few times and decided to check it out… located on the second floor of the historic lansdowne theater, it’s a very simple, relaxed studio with classes that reflect that vibe. Charla was a skilled instructor, who taught a class of varying ages, levels, and abilities with ease. It had been over a year since I practiced, and she helped me feel comfortable again in my own «yoga» skin (which is always a wonderful feeling:). If you are looking for an unpretentious, calm, relaxed studio, give them a try. They just opened a month ago, and seem to be a great addition to the Lansdowne scene!
