As a gymnast, volleyball player, and runner, Julia has always been passionate for health and fitness. When she found herself on a different path as a sales person in the finance world, she quickly burned out and knew there was something more. She started taking Bikram yoga classes, which was a good introduction to the physical part of yoga. Still yearning for more, she eventually happened upon ISHTA Yoga. Immediately it resonated with her so deeply in that the connection between the physical body, the mind, and the spiritual self were so strong and so inherent in the teaching at ISHTA Yoga. Julia immediately knew she wanted to be a teacher in order to share this profound lineage of teaching that had helped to transform her approach to life. Julia completed the 500 hour professional certification through Ishta Yoga and now is an ISHTA teacher and the assistant manager at the studio. Julia is currently pursuing a Masters in Nutrition. She hopes to combine her yoga teaching with her nutrition education to create a whole body/life wellness counseling practice. She lives in Seattle with her husband.
