She is a certified Anusara teacher and studies regularly with Anusara founder John Friend and senior teacher Amy Ippoliti. Her classes are dynamic and progressive in sequencing and attitude as she presents clear instruction of the universal principles of alignment and the therapeutic aspects of the practice. Julie teaches students at all levels and creates a refreshing and fun environment in which each student is encouraged to connect to his or her heart. Supporting her knowledge of asana and the principles, Julie has studied extensively the refined vision of Rajanaka Tantra traditions with esteemed scholar Douglas R. Brooks. The profoundly empowering teachings of Intrinsic Goodness are woven into her classes, making them enriching to the heart, body and soul. Julie's classes will challenge you physically and encourage deep contemplation on your world within (how you think and behave) with reverence for the inherent Goodness all around. Julie teaches from her experiences, both on and off the mat, and commits to serve students with the same awareness and generosity she has been offered from a community of great teachers. She gratefully acknowledges the love and support she has received from John, Amy and Douglas, as well as from Sianna Sherman, Mitchell Bleier and Elena Brower. Their words and actions continue to brighten her path of service. She teaches publicly in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and is available for individual or corporate private and semiprivate instruction. She specializes in assisting students with therapeutic concerns. Julie also leads local and international yoga retreats throughout the year and has found them to be a wonderful opportunity for students to affirm their practice and develop community.
