I have had the honor to practice and learn from so many great yogis including: Deskichar; Pattabi Jois;  and Tao Porchen Lynch, before they passed on… as well as Leslie Kaminoff, David Swenson,  Hiromi Nomato (Kaia Yoga) , Suzannah van de Wende and Petra (Cape Cod) and Will LeBlanc, Yin Yoga extraordinaire, as well as Laura Weiss from Euphoria Yoga in Woodstock, NY. Too many others to mention, but I feel them in my practice and life and I am so grateful for their teachings.

Yoga is my practice and my road map and I approach each class as an opportunity to encourage my students to be  curious and be in inquiry together.

In addition to guiding yoga classes for more than 15 years, Julia is a graduate of Columbia School of Social Work and has worked as a non profit executive and CEO for many years, specializing in working with older adults and their families to assist all people to remain part of their community, living healthy active lives.
