Julie began studying yoga in 1999 with Constance Braden at the Houston Iyengar Studio. She continued her studies with Robert Boustany in 2001 and completed a year long teacher training/certification with Robert in December 2003.  She continues to study with Robert on a regular basis. 

Julie teaches Ashtanga based Hatha yoga, according to principles she learned with Robert Boustany. Her class style is playful and challenging with a focus on developing uniform strength around each joint, using an awareness of the breath to create physical and mental flexibility and awareness.  Julie's classes include simple variations of standing poses, seated twists, forwards bends, arm and leg strengthening exercises and end with body based guided relaxation. Yoga classes are open to physically active students at any level. 

Julie is now the yoga instructor for both the Houston Rockets and the Houston Texans, training the players in yoga as part of the their strength and conditioning programs. She also works with area high schools teaching yoga as part of PE, and for various sports teams.

Julie is also a registered massage therapist since 1996 with over a 1,000 hours of training and a focus on myofascial pain syndromes. This training allows her to offer her students unique insight and assistance in class.
