I took a Gentle Restorative class back in October 2025 with Julia Jonson and… Here I am, 8 months later, still going to this studio to get my weekly yoga session in. I go at least 2-3 times per week.

I went well beyond my comfort zone to participate and graduate in the 200 hour yoga teacher training which completed in May. Julia and Sally were our primary teachers along with several revered special subject teachers who participated live with direct interactions with the students. What a life changing experience! Even if you do not plan to teach yoga this is something to consider if you want to learn about yourself and grow as a part of the human race. Additionally you will of course complete a difficult and quality program that does set you up for taking on yoga teaching at graduation. Several of my cohorts are actively teaching now!
