Julia always jokes, she didn't find yoga, yoga found her.

Her practice began in her late-teens when she serendipitously passed by a women's center and noticed their sign advertising an eight week hatha yoga course. In her early days of practice, Julia fidgeted her way through each class. Over time, yoga became both an anchor and a liferaft for her.

Yoga sparked Julia’s connection to the Sacred/Oneness/Divine Unity and she has spent the last two decades exploring the various paths up the mountain - as Ram Dass would say.

Eager to share what she received from her practices, Julia completed her first 200HR certification in 2012 and she began teaching yoga classes shortly thereafter. Over the last decade, Julia has taught over 3000+ public yoga classes and she has led 12 yoga teacher training programs.

As a student, Julia attended additional training that specifically focused on meditation and breathwork, she completed a trauma-informed yoga teacher training, and she became a Level 1 and 2 Reiki practitioner.

As a facilitator, Julia weaves form and formlessness - together, you will explore your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic planes.
