RYT 200

As a child, Julie dreamed of being an astronaut….defying gravity and collecting moon rocks. In high school, Julie happened into a yoga class, a different kind of space exploration where she gravity surfed, found a source of internal strength, and developed a lifelong passion. She has practiced and studied a wide variety of disciplines but considers the Ashtanga and Anusara traditions her greatest influences. In 2006, she completed her 200-hr certification at Tranquil Space in Washington, DC. Julie’s teaching style is grounded in tradition with the playfulness of vinyasa creating smart and intuitive sequences meant not only to challenge, but to be accessible to students of all levels. Julie brings her contagious sense of humor and deep love of music to every class along with her light-heartedness and gentle warmth. A scientist at heart, Julie has pursued her passion for the science of healing as a massage therapist and yoga guide for trauma, anxiety, self-regulation, and PTSD. Julie’s long-standing interests in human health combined with her academic studies in biochemistry drive her professional pursuits in global access to health care, reproductive health, and the empowerment of women and girls across cultures.
