Detox and Retox

Julie is a force to be reckoned with, in the best possible way! I first met Julie during her prenatal yoga class at the Green Yogi. Her down-to-earth style and upbeat personality convinced me right from the start that it was the best class for me! After my son’s birth, she started helping us once a week as a postpartum doula. I was amazed by how much she could get done in just a couple hours–she’d cheerfully cook every vegetable in the house, vacuum, do our laundry, put the baby down to nap, all the while keeping tabs on my mental and physical health. Julie cares for “her mamas” so much and it comes across in everything she does. She gave us the gift of clean sheets and snack plates every week. She even taught me how to pump! I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I’d hire her again in a second!

I have been blessed to know Julie for over a decade. She is an incredibly grounded, talented teacher always attuned to her yogis. I also appreciate her perfectly timed sense of humor. She is able to differentiate her classes based on her students' needs and curate directly for them in the moment. Whether it's more of a gentle yet deep restorative stretching session, or a faster strengthening flow, I always come away from her classes rejuvenated. I have participated in two yoga retreats with her in Northern California. On both occasions, over only a few days, Julie created a rich community and a safe space for the internal and physical work we did together. In addition, she was my postpartum doula when I had my daughter. After my belly birth, Julie was profoundly present for me at my most vulnerable time. She supported me through one of my most important moments as a new mother when I began nursing, and also did my placenta encapsulation which kept me strong and led to a quicker healing. I am forever grateful to her and her many gifts which I have been fortunate enough to receive. I cannot say enough about her positive impact on my life.

Julie Anne brings a rare combination of experience, soulfulness, humor, humanity, and a deep understanding of human physiology to her work. And her life! She tunes in to her students and meets us where we are, whether new to yoga or with decades of practice. She’s truly one of the greats! I have been a loyal student for many years and continue to be impressed by Julie Anne’s skill and dedication.

I’ve been practicing yoga with Julie Anne for over a decade now. Her classes are always fun and accessible. She’s fun and down to earth, making for low stress and an enjoyable practice. She and her classes are always a joy.
