Julie began studying yoga in
1999 at the Houston Iyengar Studio. She continued her studies
with Robert Boustany in 2001 and completed a year long teacher
training and certification with him in 2003. She continues to
study with Robert on a regular basis, and teaches according
to his method. Her class style is playful and challenging with
a focus on developing uniform strength around each joint, using
an awareness of the breath to create physical and mental
flexibility and awareness. Julie’s classes include simple
variations of standing poses, seated twists, forwards bends, arm
and leg strengthening exercises and end with a body based guided
relaxation. Classes are open to physically active students at
any level.
Julie has worked as a
yoga teacher for the Houston Texans and is now the yoga
instructor for the Houston Rockets and Rice University
Football team, training the players in yoga as part of their
strength and conditioning programs.
She also
works with area high schools teaching yoga in both PE and for
high school sports teams.
Julie is a registered massage
therapist since 1996 with over 1,000 hours of training and a
focus on myofascial pain syndromes. This training allows her to
offer her students unique insight and assistance in class.
Her office is located at
Boustany’s Hatha Yoga Studios where she offers private
appointments and group instruction.
