Hi, I am Julie, a freelance yoga teacher and wellness coach, drawing on ancient yoga and ayurvedic practices.
The practice of yoga is, by design, a deeply transformational experience. It involves embracing change over time, which means crafting space in your life for practice and showing up for yourself in the moment and with your future self in mind.
I am here to guide you in that practice. I will help you to bring new healthful patterns into your life through the multi-dimensional practices of yoga: asana, pranayama and meditation and more. This involves connecting with the body, breath and mind in an integrated way, with awareness.
My initial training was in Vinyasa yoga, with a focus on supporting deep connection between movement and breath, as well as meditation and a range of practices including my favourite, Yoga Nidra. Layered onto this I completed further training:
- Yoga Sports Coach TM (200 hours)
- Yoga for Athletes (40 hours)
- Yoga Nidra (a form of meditation) (50 hours)
- Yoga for the Stages of Menopause (40 hours)
- Chair-based Yoga (12.5 hours)
- Yin Yoga (50 hours)
My current ongoing training is in yoga therapy with Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda (300 hours / certification pending). In the coming months/years I will be continuing this training for 800 hour accreditation.
As a yoga teacher I maintain a daily yoga practice, incorporating the skills and techniques I have learned and am learning, both for my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others (my sankalpa), and in doing so hope to be able to serve others more effectively.
