A teacher, in everything.
Julia found yoga in 1999, met the Art of Living in 2002, and has been teaching its programs since 2005. In between, she did the training no meditation course can give: years at the front of a high-school classroom.
It shows in how she teaches — deep ideas made to feel like common sense, ancient practices offered without mystique, and a room where everyone is welcomed like family.
Born Longing
Julia's first book · Coming soon
Julia grew up yearning for a Great Love, with a Great Man, and a Great Life. Her memoir traces where that longing actually led — wild spiritual adventures, romantic wrong turns, and a love far greater than her teenage self ever dreamed possible.
A deeply moving memoir.
What students say.
Julia is an incredibly special teacher. She welcomes you into her fold like family and her teaching style leaves a permanent imprint in your mind. It was such a joy to learn some of the most everlasting meditation techniques from Julia.
Julia is a rare kind of teacher. She is effortless and very much herself… What she teaches works. It really works… This is a piece of the real thing.
