ABOUT JULIE
Athletics has always been an integral part of Julie’s life. After recovering from serious spinal surgeries in her 30s (and then again in her 50s), she sought a new way to challenge her body and find balance in her life. She found Bikram Yoga and that experience opened the door to a whole new way of living and growing. The physical benefits spoke to her; it was the mental clarity and spiritual benefits that were unexpected and amazing. She opened Half Moon Yoga Studio in 2012 in the community she grew up in and loves to share all the goodness that comes from a regular Yoga practice. Julie has experienced and witnessed the therapeutic benefits of Yoga and Pilates. She hopes that Half Moon students deepen their relationship with themselves while the benefits of Yoga unfold for them.
Julie has studied Viniyoga with Gary Kraftsow, Restorative Yoga with Judith Lassater, the Bishnu Ghosh lineage with Tony Sanchez and Yin Yoga with Bernie Clark.
Besides her love of teaching, she enjoys training and showing her dogs, collecting antiques, tending her garden and 1790 farmhouse, and spending time with her family and friends.
Our Practices
All of our classes are an opportunity to improve your overall health in a supportive community with a dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic teacher. Perhaps a private Yoga session would be the place for you to start.
Please be mindful of perfumes, colognes and scents.

Our Studio
Half Moon Yoga Studio is a private and welcoming space to practice Yoga and Pilates, situated in the woods on the historic Foltzhouse property in Elizabethtown, PA. The original fieldstone farmhouse was built in 1790.
Beginners and more experienced practitioners are invited to join us. All classes are thoughtfully led and carefully sequenced.
In every Yoga class we practice asanas (postures); classes may also be integrated with pranayama (breath work), meditation, chanting and mantra. The focus of a practice may be addressing one area of your body, yet you will leave feeling more whole and balanced, taller and definitely invigorated.
In our Pilates classes we focus on strengthening our core, as well as our upper and lower body, using integrated breath work and a variety of props.
Since 2012, we are grateful to celebrate with our community more than a decade of providing quality Yoga and Pilates classes and complimentary events to enrich our students' lives.
"We practice [Yoga] to deepen our self-awareness, establish ourselves in the present moment, set a direction for our future and actualize our full potential."
