About Julia

I have been teaching and practicing yoga since 2001, with my beginnings at Neoalpine/YYoga in Whistler, B.C, Canada.

Between 2005-2008,I had the opportunity to teach at Pure Yoga, Hong Kong with a mind-blowing faculty of big spirited bohemians and teachers (go to THANK YOU's). I also had the opportunity to assist and teach with renegade yogi, Patrick Creelman (Anusara certified/ founder of Neoalpine with Stephen Thomas/and pretty much the inspiration for why Pure Yoga Asia happened) with whom I shared many a sweaty mat with, on many a Saturday morning amidst the HK student body, twenty stories above Wyndham Street: moving, chanting and laughing.

In 2003,I studied in Thailand with Paul Dallaghan, authorized Ashtangi who guided us through Pattabis Jois' method of Hatha Yoga and traditional yogic studies, as well as Sri Tiwari Ji -- our kind grandfather, pranayama master and teacher of teachers. My other influences include my mom, dad and sister -- all school teachers and some of the best, Paige Faraci who took me under her graceful wing in Asia, Kristin Campbell who dazzles us all in Whistler, Ana Forrest, Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Carlos Pomeda, John Friend and many others in the Vancouver community. It is difficult for me to pledge my devotion to only one guru or school as there are so many that I respect and continue to learn from. The bigger the palette, the more colors to choose from, is my theory.

In the fall of 2010, fourteen trainees joined me in my first independent 200 HR program at Los Cardones, Nicaragua. Our experience was rich and attuned to the rhythms of nature. I was reminded of how the right students, at the right time always manage to meet me half way -- even in the far reaches of a remote beach in Nicaragua. Our time together was one of the most mystically affirming and rewarding moments in my teaching career and has set the bar for all of my future trainings.

I am currently living in Whistler, BC, teaching at YYoga/Neoalpine and Whistler's Core. I am holding workshops and teacher trainings year round between Whistler, Vancouver, Australia and Nicaragua. I am also deep in the throes of writing a book about my experiences living and teaching in Asia.
