Meet Your Teachers

Julie Martin 

Lead Teacher & Programme Director  

Raised as a Vedantist, Julie grew up immersed in the philosophy of yoga. As a young adult, she turned to the asana practice to heal from an injury. That was 25 years ago. When yoga began to injure her, she did her research and integrated insights about anatomy, natural movement, range of motion, and integrated stability into her practice and teaching. The result is unorthodox, inventive yoga that moves with the body, not against it. 

She teaches yogis around the world to break free from a limited linear practice and outdated dogmas and embrace an embodied Yoga practice based on a sensory experience - how it feels, not what it looks like. She has a reputation for challenging asana myths that hurt and exclude people. She empowers students and teachers alike to own their practice, tap into their curiosity, and trust their own experience.
