Julia began yoga at an early age by crawling around on a practicing mama in the Appalachain mountains of North Carolina. This was the beginning of a life-long study and curiousity. In addition to her family and origin of birth, some of her most influential teachers along the way have been Genny Kapuler, Richard Freeman, Shri Dharma Mittra, Kofi Busia, and David Garrigues. Julia performed worldwide as a principal member of the Yoga-Dance troupe Tripsichore Yoga Theater. Since then, she has become a teacher and choreographer of great merit. She has created original yogic performances for a world tour of Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Thailand, Paris, and Iceland. She is also a Graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts, and North Carolina School of Dance. Her diverse performance background and small mountain-town upbringing, infuse her teaching and performance with a rich, artistic, and nature-driven vision that inspires students of all levels. Her most recent passion has been working with and learning from those dealing with cancer.
Julia is based in Philadelphia, where she teaches at Studio 34 Yoga and Arts Center and University of Penn Med School. Devotional, acrobatic, awe-inspiring, and lyrical, this offering of movement is so heart felt that it leaves you tingling with emotion and the sensation that you, yourself just love.
