Julie explains, “I discovered yoga when the stress of daily life became more than I could handle. Anxiety took hold and I found respite on my mat. I teach hot power flow to help students burn through their stress and build their inner strength. To balance the intensity of hot power flow, I also teach yin & restorative yoga, which help students release tightness and tension, cultivating a sense of inner peace. The equanimity between these forms of yoga is critical. Each student should explore the different types of yoga to discover what’s best for them. I aim to help every student reach their fullest potential, both on and off the mat.”
