Julia’s teaching aims to help students cultivate steady inner ground to dance with life’s mysterious unfolding with equanimity and a tender, courageous heart.  

A seamless blend of physicality and spirituality, Julia’s asana classes are a portal to connection with Self.  Her clear and practical approach to teaching yoga and commitment to yoga as a body-inclusive space aims to create an accessible in-class experience.  With her work as a Food + Body Therapist as a backdrop, she is always oriented toward providing deep nourishment for your body, mind, and wild heart. 

Julia draws on buddhist teachings, tantric philosophy, archetypal stories, mindfulness practices from eclectic traditions, and her own personal journey of awakening to guide her students in cultivating self-awareness and self-compassion.  She studied at ISHTA  Yoga in 2008-2009.

Julia has a small group Food + Body Therapy private practice.  As an advocate of body liberation for all, she helps people break free from restrictive eating and body shame so they can live their most full and vibrant lives.

Julia feels most alive in the beauty of nature, ecstatic dancing, and witnessing the courageous act of humans learning how to be human.

Unbound Psychedelic Breathwork + Sound Bath

Monday, December 8th | 7:30 pm                       

Unbound… step into an experience of deep breathing, expansion, release, freedom, and limitless potential.  In our culture our minds are bound by societal conditioning and harmful beliefs; our spirits are bound by our egos, and our bodies are bound by stress and tension. 

In this special practice, conscious connected Breathwork is the vehicle that moves you beyond the ordinary, limited mind, toward a more open, expansive perspective.  It offers you a path to tap into your unique unbound potential.  This is not only a journey for your consciousness, but also for your nervous system; breathwork supports the development of a flexible nervous system and enhances your capacity to cope with life’s stressors.  After the breath practice gently loosens the bound-up places within you, we’ll finish the session with a mini sound bath for deep relaxation, regulation, and integration. You may leave this session feeling refreshed, relaxed, cleared out from cathartic release, tender, or carrying with you a pearl of insight from your innate wisdom.  

This experience is for those:

  • seeking nervous system support & regulation

  • seeking avenues for deep relaxation

  • feeling “in your head”, mentally overworked, or stuck in habitual patterns

  • seeking clarity and insight

  • curious souls wanting to explore the deeper aspects of who you are
