Review: Katie Hunt
I have been practising with Julie for at least 7 years now and if it wasn't for her, I don't think I would still be practising. Julie's teachings are authentic, insightful, from the heart and done with friendliness and good humour. I decided to do her Yoga Teacher Training earlier this year and it was honestly one of the best things i have ever done. Her curriculum was in depth and whether you do this for immersion or to become a teacher, you will get so much out of it. Julie teaches intention, curiosity and mindfulness, it was so much more than a teacher training. I have never come across another teacher like Julie.

Training FAQ
What style of yoga is the teacher training
It is a Vinyasa-based style which connects the freedom of movement with the breath through flowing sequences. Sequences are carefully themed to deepen the students’ experience of Yoga. A flow of Sun Salutations and postures are skillfully sequenced, and modifications and props are used to individualise the practice for each student. Alignment is a big focus in this training, to ensure a safe and enjoyable practice.
We will be incorporating Ashtanga (Primary series) and Yin along with our Vinyasa Flow classes in our morning sessions to enable a variety of learning experiences. You will also have the opportunity to experience a variety of yoga styles taught by guest teachers.
How proficient in yoga do I have to be to do the 200-hour program?
We require that you have a minimum of 12 months of a consistent yoga practice before enrolling in our teacher training program. We want to make sure that trainees have a basic foundation in the primary yoga postures as we will be training 6 days a week. There is no pressure, all we ask is that you are committed to the full training.
What if I don't want to be a Teacher
That’s fine, this 200 hour training is ideal for those who want to delve deeper into the study of yoga, and to improve their own practice. It’s also great for students who simply want to have a transformational experience and to be a part of our thriving Yoga Community.
I have an injury/special condition – can I take this course?
We recommend that you check with your physician first and must sign a waiver stating that you are able to attend the training. With your doctor’s permission and release, minor physical limitations can also serve as helpful demonstrations to learn to work with students with similar limitations.
Can I take this training if I’m pregnant?
We have had many pregnant students in our programs. It all depends on how you are feeling. All students should first check with their doctor to make sure they are clear to take this training.
Do you help organise accommodation for travelling participants?
We do not organise accommodation for our Teacher Trainings, but are more than happy to help.
Are any books and materials included in the price of the training?
The Teacher Training Manuals are included and it is optional if you want to purchase Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Go for it! You won’t regret it!
I’ve recently completed Julie’s 200 hour yoga teacher training course and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences! I went into the course just wanting to deepen my practice and ended up taking away so much more. Julie is an inspiring teacher with years of life experience. She put a lot of thought into the course and it showed.
She introduced us to a variety of exciting yoga practitioners, one being Vaidyar Mani, who is a traditional Ayurvedic practitioner from Singaporean, who truly spoke from his heart. We also had some great experiences, from morning meditation on top of the hill, near the centre of NZ to a few brilliant days in Golden Bay.
I’ve left the course so inspired and motivated to keep up with all that I’ve learnt. If you’re thinking of doing this course, go for it! You won’t regret it!
