Movement

Juli is grateful to serve her community through the

healing and creative arts with heart and humor.  

Once a competitive gymnast and musical theater actress,

movement and expression run deep in her blood.

A lifelong journey of physical performance transformed into her purpose to help the world.

Juli discovered yoga on her healing journey after years of suffering from addiction, anxiety & depression. The peace she experienced through the practice was vital for her recovery & inevitable freedom.

She was so passionate about yoga, she completed a 200 hour teacher training in 2010 at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts.

 Juli went on to complete a 500 hour program with an additional 100 hour study in Yoga Body Psychology through the Amrit Institute.  She currently teaches studio classes weekly at Spirit of Yoga in Tempe, as well as workshops & retreats.  Her teachings poetically weave inspiring spiritual themes with uniquely crafted asana sequences, pranayama, meditation and chant.

She is forever a dedicated student of yoga and a true teacher with deep passion for the transformative power of the practice

on and off the mat.

Raised on a church choir, Juli sang and performed for years,

going on to study voice at Shenandoah University.

Leaving performance to pursue a spiritual path,

the practice of sacred chant and song found her again,

bringing life full circle.

Developing a deeper relationship with Spirit and the herself, 

music again moved to the forefront of her mission.

She founded Seva Song Circle, a monthly song circle gathering whose proceeds go to help those in need.

She joyfully leads kirtans (call and response chant experiences)

around the valley.  Juli loves helping people connect with the

power of their authentic voice.

She is a grateful member of The Bliss Project,

a groovy kirtan jam band focused on improvisation through playful presence and sacred ear-reverence!

Juli grew up in the woods of Western Pennsylvania, cultivating her love of nature and comfort in the sanctuary of the forest.  Her curiosity about plants and their the healing power lead her to study herbalism with Joann Sanchez.  She completed a 700 hour Western Herbalism Certificate program in 2011 and enjoys creating nourishing medicine for her family & community

from the bounty of the Earth.

When she's not singing or teaching, you can probably find her hanging out with her daughters and friends, hiking, building intention altars, writing poetry or dancing to live music!

Juli believes that life in this body is a school for the Soul.

Her grounded presence & light-hearted energy remind us that Everything is a part of Divine Consciousness.

Juli strives to be an authentic guide & supportive witness

in this crazy ass human journey, one breath at a time.
