Chi-Ballet
Body of a Ballerina, Mind of a Monk
Daily practices for a graceful body and peaceful mind - without needing to be an actual Ballerina, or Monk!
Did you ever dream of being a ballerina when you were a child?
Maybe you took ballet classes and in the beginning it was all fairies and tutus and fun. But then it started getting serious and stopped being fun.
You may have had a critical teacher, who didn't give you any encouragement and made you feel you weren't suited to being a ballerina and so you gave up on those dreams ...Or you never had the opportunity to take ballet classes but have always admired the grace and beauty of watching ballet dancers.
As an adult you still feel those childhood dreams of being a ballerina when you hear beautiful classical music, but you have so many reasons why you couldn't possibly attend a class now…
Beliefs like...
I'm too old... I’m too rusty and out of practice... I'm not fit enough...
I'm not flexible enough... It looks like it would be too difficult for me...
I'm just afraid I will embarrass myself if I sign up for a class...
These are all self-limiting beliefs that hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest.
If you loved moving your body when you danced as a child and felt a sense of freedom, creativity, passion, joy and happiness, then there is no reason why you can't experience all those feelings again as an adult.
Right now, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious.
At a time in history when you've never had more information at your fingertips there is a need for simplicity and for finding things that are easy to integrate into your life. That is why I created...
It was that desire for removing the complexity and creating something that could bring you clarity and peace, while also being uplifting and creative.
The Chi-Ballet Mini-Course is a three week journey which will help you build healthy habits that can help you change your life. If you'd like a taster of what's included, download my FREE 'Finding your Zen' eBook.
Charlie Plunkett is a Joyful Being who leaves a trail of happiness in her wake… I have learnt to dance ballet with her and subsequently EFT (emotional freedom technique)
Both have enriched my life beyond measure… in Chi-Ballet she has taken the best of both worlds and magically created a fun and easily accessible shortcut to happiness…….
My advice is; Don’t waste time thinking about it just open your heart and mind and dive right in ❣️

Body of a Ballerina
Chi-Ballet is a fitness methodology based on the graceful and artistic movements found in Ballet dance. Combined with the healing movement practice of Qigong and of using Chi-energy to heal the body, mind and soul
Mind of a Monk
Chi-Ballet includes the monk-like practices of meditation, gratitude and positive affirmations. Journaling, creating healthy habits and EFT (a self-help tool you may know as Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping).
I understand how you feel
... because I was that little girl who dreamed of being a ballerina and who had the most terrifying ballet teacher, who criticised me constantly. At times it was hard but that love of ballet never left me and I did pursue a career as a professional ballet dancer. All along my journey not only was my body physically tested, ballet training is rigorous, and a lot of discipline is required, but also mentally. I faced judgement from my teachers, audience and other dancers, as well as my own thoughts as I stood before the studio mirror for hours seeking ballet perfection.
Why am I telling you all this?
To paint the picture of how things were, and to be honest I wouldn't change a thing because these experiences have all helped form the person I am today. But along the way I have gained so much knowledge and insight into how mindset plays such an important role in having a balanced, peaceful and happy life.
Because ultimately that's all we want, to be happy in all the areas of our life...
However, if I said to you that you could...
Feel like a ballerina whenever you wanted
Improve your posture and flexibility
and become more graceful and elegant in your body
Wouldn't that be something that would have your heart soaring with the possibilities?
In my twenties and thirties, I struggled with stress and anxiety and went on a quest to find anything I could to help release those negative emotions and become the happy, carefree person I knew I was intended to be.
I spent years searching for tools to help reduce the stress in my life and found some incredible techniques that I have incorporated into...
Chi-Ballet
They make up the mindful practices of the Monk side of the course and include... Qigong, showing Gratitude, Journaling, setting Habits and EFT (a self-help tool you may know as Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping).
The best part is that all these tools I share work, they worked for me, and they have worked for my students, and you don't have to spend the years that I did searching because I have brought them all together in one place for you to use and to have for ever.

"At 62 I joined Charlie's ballet classes as a way of keeping fit through dance and music. I last did ballet as a schoolgirl. Self-conscious at first, I soon relaxed with Charlie’s welcoming style and was absorbed by her enthusiastic energy and imagination.
When Charlie launched the unique concept of Chi ballet I completed her excellent course on this and find it a useful daily movement and meditation that complements my ongoing ballet classes with her."
