Charlene Marie Muhammad is a practicing Yoga Therapist, Clinical herbalist, Certified Nutrition Specialist and Licensed Dietitian. Her wellness practice, Urbanherbalist, is dedicated to cultivating a community striving to live as nature intended.

Charlene was first introduced to yoga by her mother 30 years ago. Her mom, seeing that her daughter was living a fast-paced New York City lifestyle, encouraged her to slow down and find a quiet place within. Falling in love with the practice, Charlene moved to Seattle where she deepened her studies in spirituality, natural healing and yoga philosophy. Her evolution as a yoga therapist has enriched her healing practice and support for her clients. Her knowledge of pathophysiology and the creative use of modifications are strengths she offers her students as well as keen observations of a student’s anatomy and physiological movements.

Charlene’s yoga therapy practice includes: yoga interventionist (teacher) for the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease (NIAMS) clinical study Yoga as self-care for arthritis in minority communities; and Certified Yoga 4 Arthritis teacher and mentor.
