Julia R Bledsoe

 Julia discovered yoga's transformative benefits at age 17. Yoga has remained a quiet and constant presence in her life and continues to be a transformative and stabilizing practice. Julia continued her yoga practice through breast cancer treatment in 2009 and credits the practice with helping her through the treatment and with recovery.

In 2014, Julia enrolled in yoga teacher training which led to the study of yoga therapy. In 2015 she began her studies under Harvey Deutch, completing 500-hour, Yoga Alliance-recognized training in 2016 with a focus on Yoga Therapeutics. In the fall of 2017, Julia enrolled in an 800-hour training with Stress Management Center of Marin to become a certified yoga therapist. This training was completed in June of 2020. As a lifelong learner, Julia continues her education with courses that enhance her knowledge and compliment her teaching.

Julia’s mindful, gentle approach to yoga is accessible to everybody. Julia works with those needing to reconnect with their bodies. Whether aging, living with chronic illness, recovering from injury, joint replacement surgery, cancer, or trauma, all levels are welcome.
