Julie has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and it has become life's ambition to pass her knowledge on to others. She undertook her intensive three years training with the British Wheel of Yoga qualifying in April 2006, since then she has been teaching in the Whitehaven area. Julie has always been interested in the spiritual aspect of yoga and how this can help keep the mind steady during challenging times in our lives.
The practice of yoga has a positive impact upon your health and wellbeing and is complimentary to other fitness activities, making your body stronger and more flexible. However, the benefits do not stop there as Yoga is about bringing balance to your body and mind, reducing the negative effects of stress.
Welcome to Balance Studio, a light, tranquil space for developing a healthy body, clear mind and lifted spirit, through a multi-disciplinary approach to wellbeing. Balance Studio has a range of classes and therapies on offer to help you achieve a balanced holistic lifestyle. There are classes in Yoga, Pilates, Mindfulness, Fitness, Dance and Tai Chi - something for everyone of all ages and abilities.
The main aim is to enable peer support, sharing of knowledge, experience and networking within the group. This is done by meeting to share a practical yoga session together, led by one of our members, then a shared lunch (please bring a vegetarian dish to share) and an opportunity to talk to each other.
This site has information about Iyengar yoga, my classes, myself, equipment, yoga events, and a (new!) blog. If there's anything else you think it would be useful to have here please let me know. Meanwhile, have a browse and feel free to get in touch, details on the contact page.
