Julie's bio

Julie is amazing. She teaches all over DC, and is an active leader in the DC yoga community. Julie came to yoga over a decade ago as a way to decompress from a crazy job and to complement her workout routine. After many years of Hatha practice, she discovered the power of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. She finds the combination of breath work, meditation, mantra, and movement that are the hallmarks of Kundalini to be both relaxing and empowering. The underlying theme of her classes is that we can come to a place of happiness and health by tapping into our inner strength.

Julie is certified to teach Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, through the Kundalini Research Institute International Teacher Training Program. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and a member of the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA). She teaches both Kundalini and Hatha Yoga at DC area gyms and yoga studios, in both English and Spanish. As a seva (service project), she is currently working with Miriam’s Kitchen to bring yoga to DC’s homeless community and helps lead outreach to bring yoga to under-resourced DC communities through YogaActivist.org. Julie believes that yoga is a powerful tool for social change and would like to see the practice made more accessible to people from all wakes of life.
