Identity Yoga

There aren’t words to describe this yoga studio. It’s like walking into the most cozy atmosphere, where real work gets done and lots of laughter. Julie is an exceptional instructor, she provides variations for poses, uses the right amount of props - which is many - to ease you into relaxation and release, or help to allow your spine to find its true length. Her attention to detail and hands on approach is so different than so many other classes/instructors I’ve experienced. I have back pain. Julie’s classes makes that pain less and less. And is teaching me that I can continue to find that ease. Sign up for a class or 10, go to a retreat… you’ll be happy.

Ahhh - A yoga class with Julie makes my body feel taller and my mind feel clearer. Julie’s classes are a hybrid with a focus on alignment. Each class is unique; I've never been met with the same old routine. Julie skillfully guides all through their practice, intuitively knowing where each student is at, challenging without pushing too far. Come join a class! Be prepared to focus and work hard, and you will reap the rewards. Julie’s warmth and support will make you smile and feel welcome, no matter your level.

I’m so grateful to have stumbled into Julie’s studio. She is incredibly creative with her classes and offers such spaciousness for curiosity and play. Every time I leave a session I feel light and like I can breathe more fully. Looking forward to continuing my journey with Identity Yoga!

I stopped practicing for several years because of the pandemic, and I was pretty nervous to get back into yoga because I had lost so much strength and flexibility. But something Julie says all the time that made me feel right at home in her classes is "there's a reason it's called a practice." You don't need to be able to do all the classic yoga poses perfectly. In fact in some classes, we don't do any of the classic yoga poses at all! Every class is different and is about exploring how we can move to keep our bodies healthy using any prop or movement that gives you new information. (With a little bit of mindfulness on top.) It doesn't hurt that her studio is gorgeous and sometimes she has an adorable pup around to give you kisses after you say namaste.

Julie has created such a warm and beautiful environment to practice yoga. Her classes and retreats are filled with lightness and humor, and reminders to be easy on yourself while always reaching a little further toward curiosity. She's an incredibly supportive teacher giving personal attention and tailoring each practice to those present. This is by far the best yoga experience Ive ever had and I'm so grateful to be part of this community.
