“The life force that pulsates in the trees, plants, and animals is the same life force that pulsates within us. The same life energy that gives us the power to speak and to sing, is the power behind the song of the bird and the roar of the lion. The same consciousness that flows in and through every human being, lends its power to the movement of the wind, to the flow of the river, and to the light of the sun. How can there be any sense of difference once this subtle principle is understood?” – Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi)
About Julie Yoga & therapy
My personal Yoga journey
Originally from France, I have been in the UK since 99 and a secondary school teacher since 2000. I moved to Perranporth in 2005, thinking I would stay for six months, but I totally fell in love with Cornwall and have lived there ever since! Although yoga was present in my life even as a child, I discovered its real physical, psychological and spiritual benefits whilst recovering from a car accident in 2001. I started practising in earnest and it rapidly became an integral part of my life. I have trained with a range of teachers and this is reflected in my teaching. At Julie Yoga and Therapy, I embrace a holistic approach to yoga and aim to create a safe space for people to explore , develop and be curious about their own practice. Having had several frustrating injuries myself, I encourage people to challenge themselves whilst still honouring their bodies.
Why I started Julie Yoga and Therapy
The magic of Yoga and its ability to transform us never cease to amaze me and it is a true honour and a joy to accompany people on their healing journey. I enjoy using a range of yogic tools in my classes to create a warm, flowing, uplifting and personal atmosphere, open and inclusive for all levels of ability and experience. I have a holistic approach to body, mind and spirit and include yoga philosophy in my lessons to accompany both physical and mental transformation.
I started teaching in 2013 after graduating from The Devon School of Yoga and went on to study Yoga therapy there to eventually develop my trauma informed sessions and specialise in nervous system disorders, anxiety, depression and PTSD. My Yoga training journey has so far included numerous wonderful, inspiring and at times intense experiences in ashrams and retreats, in various parts of the world, with a variety of teachers, including a Yin intensive with Sarah Powers.
My personal healing journey lead me to discover Dr Berceli’s work and I became a certified TRE® provider in 2006 (trauma and tension release exercises). I am grateful to have become a TRE® mentor with Train-TRE® and am passionate about sharing this incredible modality with both my clients and my trainees.
I am also a certified QEC practitioner and mentor, as well as an EFT practitioner and currently completing my Brainspotting training.
As a holistic trauma therapist, I aim to empower my clients and gently support them through their journey. I believe in trusting, witnessing, connecting, safely guiding, and empowering. I enjoy adapting and tailoring therapy sessions to my clients’ needs, using QEC, TRE®, EFT, Brainspotting or Yoga therapy.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about my classes, workshops, retreats or one-to-one work. You may also follow me on Facebook or on Instagram to keep up with the latest news.
