Review:
So thrilled to have committed to Julie Stephen's YTT. She offers, beyond expectation, a thoroughly integrated programme and leads with dedication, experience, wisdom and from the heart. Julie and her expert team open the doors to a deeper understanding and inspirational experience of all facets of Yoga. I have loved evolving, learning and connecting with everyone and making friends on the course. I'm convinced my symptoms of perimenopause have also eased thanks to the benefits now of a stable Yoga practice. This course is for you - whatever stage you are in life if, you wish to teach, (as I do), or to enrich your own practice. With immense gratitude, Shelley.

What People Are Saying
“I did the 100 Hour Extended Learning Yoga Teachers Training, as I had my 200 Hour Yoga Teachers Training from a previous course I did in India.
Julie Stephens course had us teaching to each other from the very first day of class. I was so nervous as this is what I was needing, practical teaching experience. She created an incredibly safe place to gain confidence and find our unique individualised yogic voice, while being compassionate to our reservations and fears. Her extensive experience and knowledge of yoga and that of the other specialised practitioners she had on the course, gave me even more reassurance that I could conduct a safe and meaningful class structure for my students. As the course progressed and I gained more and more confidence...I found my voice and the yoga teacher within.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who want to extend their knowledge, training and find confidence in their abilities as a blooming yoga teacher in a nurturing positive environment!”

“I've just been on such an amazing journey with Julie Stephens's 200hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, and couldn't fault it!!
With a diverse amount of topics covered from the history of yoga to teaching, her curriculum offers so much more than just a traditional training course. With lots of self-discovery and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. I would highly recommend her YTT course. She has such a wealth of knowledge with over 30 years of experience traveling the world with her yoga career and such a beautiful nurturing nature, I would recommend it to anyone.”

“I recently completed Julie’s 200 hr/20 day Yoga Teacher Training program in Nelson and found it to be an incredible experience.
Whether you’re considering commencing your journey of becoming a teacher or like myself, to mainly delve deeper into traditional yoga practice & knowledge with the possibility of later becoming a teacher, Julie’s extensive knowledge and worldly experience in Yoga combined with the stunning location of Nelson made it a highly worthwhile experience.
Although quite an intense course involving many hours & a lot of content to be covered in a short period, I feel very accomplished, privileged and grateful post completion. Most of all my practice and passion for yoga has grown wonderfully! Thank you again, so very much Julie x”

“I've recently done the 100h YTT with Julie and it has been such a wonderful journey. There's just so much you can get out of ten days of training, but honestly with her knowledge and her caring way of sharing it I really fully immersed myself and learned so much! I would recommend it to anyone interested in taking a step further in understanding this magic philosophy. Lots of time was dedicated to the teaching side of yoga and I gained lots of confidence. Everything I learned was taught from the heart, and that's the reason why my heart will be full for a while now too ✨️ thank you Julie, all the teachers and all my companions for making it such a memorable 10 days block. Namaste” 🙏
