Charlene Lite

Charlene is a certified Yoga Instructor and Singer/Songwriter originally from Los Angeles. She moved to New York City ten years ago to pursue her dreams of becoming a successful recording artist. After many years of doing the hustle - gigging while taking side jobs on the side - she decided to enroll in yoga teacher training in late 2009 with one intention: I want to love what I do and do what I love everyday. Six years later, she teaches full-time all over the city and has combined her passion of music to her classes, adding “Yoga Unplugged” (live acoustic music in savasana) to many schedules as well as providing live music to yoga classes all over the city. She’s also making a documentary about her incredible journey over ten years called, The Dream Diaries. For more info on her classes, workshops and music, check out her website: www.charlenelite.com.

“Menla is a truly inspiring place to live and work. I can’t imagine a better environment in the US for me to be of service, help a very meaningful cause, and learn about Tibet, Buddhism, yoga, and the world of health & wellness. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for Robert & Nena Thurman’s vision, not to mention for everyone else who helps make Menla a place I can feel genuinely proud to work for.”

“Going to Menla is like dropping out of time. The physical beauty and stillness of the place is unique. The accommodations are just right – comfortable but not ostentatious. The food is amazing and clearly made with attention and love. Thank you!”
