On Hilton Head Island, Nature and Wellness go Hand in Hand.
Hilton Head Island native Charlotte Hardwick lived in cities all over the world before the nature and beauty of the Lowcountry lured her back three years ago. “I wanted to get back to living around all of the things I love most,” Hardwick recalls. “The ocean, the marshes, being outside—just getting back to that feeling of connection with the land.”
A certified yoga teacher and nutritionist, Hardwick took her passion for holistic health and launched Flow and Nourish, a wellness company that blends movement and breath work with inspired, seasonal eating. “My cooking and yoga classes tune into what the season does to our bodies” Hardwick says, “and the ways we can use movement and food to support the change of season.”
One of the ways she does this is to encourage people to pay attention to their surroundings. “This island invites people to notice and to be curious,” Hardwick says. “People come here ready to slow down, and this practice that I’m doing really supports that.”
Hardwick crafts personalized wellness experiences for her clients based on their interests and needs, whether that’s learning to transform fresh tomatoes from Spanish Wells Seafood & Produce into a delicious tomato pie or practicing yoga on the beach at sunset. “I think people are looking to have experiences that are different from what they do at home,” says Hardwick. “They’re travelling with a lot more curiosity, and when I think of Hilton Head Island, I think there’s just a natural curiosity here, and that encourages me so much.”
“Start with a sunrise beach walk and then take a class at Jiva Yoga Center or do a private session with me. For lunch I’d go to
Delisaheeyo – they have the best juices and wraps and salads. End the day with a kayak in the tidal creeks, where you can see dolphins.
To me, that’s just the definition of wellness.”
