  • Summary

  • Julia, a yoga teacher, shares her inspiring journey of self-discovery, moving from a disciplined upbringing in Russia to finding her path in yoga and personal growth. After initially finding solace in yoga amidst her military family’s strict routine, Julia's practice led her to deeper experiences in Bali, where she connected with the Acro Yoga community and took a transformative trek up Mount Agung. Her story highlights the transformative power of yoga in overcoming fears and finding purpose.

    Julia's journey took her across Egypt, Turkey, and Thailand, eventually leading her to Bali. In Bali, her yoga practice deepened as she started teaching even before completing her formal 200-hour teacher training. She emphasizes the importance of yoga as a practice for personal transformation, not just certifications. Yin yoga and aerial yoga became key practices that helped her release deep emotions, leading to self-discovery and a stronger connection with her body and mind.

    Julia discusses balancing a busy teaching schedule with rest, emphasizing the importance of rejuvenation and manifesting new intentions through practices like yoga nidra.
