Julie is a native New Yorker and is a 500 hour certified yoga instructor. In 2004, she received her vinyasa and hatha certification at Frog Lotus Yoga in Massachusetts. Most recently, she joined Shiva Rea’s Global Vinyasa Collective of Teachers, as she completed her 300 hour prana flow® certification. This form of yoga truly connects us to life’s authentic flow. Julie’s children’s certifications were completed with Yoga Ed. and the Radiant Child Yoga Program. Additionally, she is certified in mat Pilates through Core Pilates in NYC and holds a certification through the AFFA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America). She graduated from Muhlenberg College with a B.A. in dance. In 2005, Julie created Wingspan Yoga, a mobile studio that brings yoga to public schools, libraries, non-profit organizations, and studios throughout NY and Central Florida. Off the mat, Julie is a performer at Walt Disney World, where she spends her days “celebrating the magic” and continuously celebrating life. 

In Julie’s classes, she encourages students to find their own personal expression as they flow from posture to posture. Music and rhythm are an integral part of the practice, so you can be sure to be swaying your hips and tapping your toes as you flow along. Each class combines strength, fluidity, and a dash of light-hearted humor, bringing an enlivened sense of freedom, joy, and sweetness! 

She sends infinite waves of gratitude to Shiva and the Global Collective of Prana Vinyasa Teachers for igniting her practice and inspiring her path as a guide of the flow!
