Yoga Mama Founder
Julie Wilson
Hi, I'm Julie Wilson the woman behind Yoga Mama.
After being faced with a number of health challenges and life changing events in my mid 30’s, I felt like I'd lost touch with who I was and what I wanted in life. Not knowing exactly how it would help but keen to do something positive, I embarked on my first yoga teacher training and found some healthy perspective along with many tools to help heal my body, mind and spirit. That was in 2013.
With my teaching and ongoing learning I've realised that what I seek for myself and my yoga students is to find ways to move with ease, to maintain strength, stability, flexibility and functional movement so we can keep doing the things we love in to our 90's and beyond!
This is the fundamental way I move my body and teach my classes. I truly believe that through specific physical movements integrated with the breath and focused attention and intention, we can nourish our organs, joints, nervous system, improve our response to stress and reconnect to our sense of self to live a full and vibrant life.
Fertility classes have a slightly different focus, to find out why I started teaching this style watch my fertility story below.
Practice Anytime,
Anywhere.
If you're interested in moving with ease, supporting the natural functional movements of your body, want challenge yourself with strength, balance and work on your breath quality and inner calm, then you've come to the right place. Welcome.

A Word from Our Members
Kim
"I felt that the class gave me some control over my fertility situation eg: choosing to ‘bend, not break’. Your course has really helped me.I now have some useful skills to help myself when I am feeling anxious. My husband has really noticed a change in me – and sends his gratitude also!"
Kathy C
"Julie's calm instruction and 'work at your own pace' philosophy has made me realise I CAN do yoga. What's more - it's actually fun! Julie truely caters for all levels in her class. So if like me you are new to yoga, I highly recommend Julie."
Karyn C
"I have been attending one on one sessions with Julie. I have found that I really look forward to my yoga class and can fully concentrate on my body for that period of time and especially the relaxation part at the end of class, you walk out of there and it’s like walking on air. Highly Recommended!"
