Julie Fournier
Julie Fournier (she / her), E-RYT 500, Certified Opening Yoga Instructor (OYI) Julie became a certified yoga teacher after 12 years of international development work. She started working with individuals living with chronic illnesses and mobility restrictions in 2014 and obtained additional certifications in adaptive yoga in 2018 and 2019. Julie found in yoga a set of principles that helped her become more compassionate and resilient. She offers group classes, workshops and private sessions in which she weaves self-reflection, breathing practices, gentle movement and references from yoga philosophy and other mind-body approaches. Her wish is to help students ground and settle in their bodies and open up to the myriad of possibilities for growth and realization that yoga has to offer.

Sustainable Practice classes focus on how to work with our yoga practice so that it can be sustainable over time. We practice different options of yoga poses, listening to our bodies so that we can practice variations to best suit our unique beings for optimal benefits from our practice over the long-haul.

On an experiential level, the class is taught from the perspective of the importance of the nervous system in healthy movement; class feels gentle while also supporting our stability and our body-mind integration. We start with extended slow and mindful movement and breath to prime our awareness and mindfulness and build skills that we can take forward into the rest of class and into our everyday life. Class also includes accessible stability work and strength-building, restorative postures and, of course, an ending rest (savasana) to integrate our experiences.

All bodies are welcome.
