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.
Flow Yoga
Flow yoga is a combination of yoga styles, there's some flow sequences that Vinyasa yogis will be familiar with, as well as some longer held postures that Yin yogis will know. All classes have the underlying principals of sustainable yoga - that is yoga that will not injure you, yoga that is informed, teaches you to look within and find the shape that your body likes by supporting correct muscle activation or release.
In these classes you are encouraged to work to your own individual ability but also challenge your body and mind, allowing you to find and express your own style of yoga in a safe and fun environment. Discover how you can move with more ease in your body.
Members have exclusive unlimited access to all flow yoga videos.
