About Julia
I first found Vinyasa Yoga in early 2011 in the midst of training for a half marathon. At the time, I was in great physical shape so I was shocked at how challenging I found yoga to be. Yoga helped me to identify and heal several pain causing injuries which resulted in a much more enjoyable running experience. Besides the great physical benefits yoga provides, I was also feeling a shift in my mind; feeling less stressed, more patient, more present, more aware, and found my mind to be generally less "chatty". It became clear that yoga was changing my life for the better.
After completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2012, I was more passionate than ever about yoga and wanted to share my love for yoga with others through teaching. As a student, my teachers guided me through my practice to help me feel strong, confident, and powerful. As a teacher, I strive to help my students feel this way, too.
In 2015, I began a daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga and developed an even greater love for my yoga practice. To dive even deeper into my practice and teaching, I completed a 40 hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in 2016. My personal practice heavily influences my teaching style so you will find my classes to be traditional, with a strong focus on breath and alignment.
I am committed to providing students with an ideal environment for them to discover the beauty and power of their own practice and their own yoga. I hope that you will join me for a class soon! Check out my schedule here.
