Student to Teacher Journey

Julie (She/Her) is a dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher with a deep passion for sharing the transformative power of practice. She has been studying under Bibi Lorenzetti for over two years through a mentorship program and continues to expand her knowledge with ongoing advanced training at The Shala. Rooted in traditional methods, Julie teaches and assists Mysore regularly, offering students individualized guidance in their Ashtanga practice. She also leads Vinyasa classes, creating dynamic, breath-centered flows that encourage strength, balance, and mindfulness.

Julie believes in fostering a supportive and inclusive space where students can explore their practice at their own pace while deepening their connection to breath and movement. Whether guiding Mysore practitioners or flowing through Vinyasa, her teaching is grounded in intention, tradition, and continuous learning.

Teaching Style & Influences

She has graduated from Newburgh Yoga Shala’s 200-hour Yoga Alliance YTT Program and now teaches with the goal of helping individuals achieve what she continues to find throughout the practice. Her Vinyasa classes are influenced by the Ashtanga lineage she practices in: steady, rigorous and intelligently threaded together.
