Julia discovered yoga in 2001 while visiting a friend in San Diego, CA. After one hot yoga class, she was hooked. When she returned home to Virginia Beach, VA she found a studio near her work and began taking classes. At this studio she began practicing Vinyasa Flow yoga. Her practice continued and yoga became a constant thread in her life.
 
In 2005, Julia attended her first yoga teacher training in Chesapeake, VA. Here she was able to become a 200 hr RYT. Her training specialized in hot vinyasa flow yoga. As Navy spouse, Julia and her husband moved every couple of years from one duty station to another. At each new location Julia would search for a yoga studio where she could practice and/or teach. After returning to Chicago from being stationed in Japan, Julia was able to find a hot yoga studio offering Vinyasa Flow. Feeling the need to sharpen her teaching skills and style, Julia attended another 200 hr yoga teacher training at her Chicago studio.
 
Once her husband retired from the Navy, Julia and her husband moved to Freeport, FL in 2022 to be closer to their family. Julia’s approach to yoga remains ever focused on the balance between strength and flexibility, exertion, and release. Her classes focus on Vinyasa Flow, and you can expect to move, sweat, and breathe.
