English Yoga Julie Blumenthal

Julie Blumenthal is a Yogiraj (master teacher) in the ISHTA lineage, combining asana and breathwork with accessible tools like subtle body work (mantra, chakras, energy lines etc), inspiring nondualistic philosophy, and Ayurveda. ISHTA practice adapts to each yogi’s own needs and supports them to find the practice that suits them, with humor and ease. Julie teaches in a cozy, personalized environment that will support you to heat up, chill out, tune in, and learn a little more about yoga, your practice, your body, and yourself in a non-dogmatic, non-judgmental and inspiring way. She believes we do not have to become better or different to experience yoga; we just have to use the tools of body, breath and attention to reconnect to ourselves and restore the balance, inspiration and support we need to move more easily through our lives. Classes focus on a physical, philosophical or energetic theme that changes week to week. All classes offer a well-rounded asana practice and include elements of meditation and relaxation, as well as some challenges, and lots of personal attention. Modifications and variations are always offered to help you find the ideal practice for you on any given day. Mats and props are all available for use.
