Pre-Registration
If you have registered for a special practice (i.e. Advanced Mind/Body Yoga and Restorative) and are unable to attend, cancellation within 24 hours is required. If you do not you will be charged for that practice from your membership or sent an invoice. Membership covers these practices, without membership they are $20 for a drop-in. In your absence we hope you will want another Half Moon yogi or friend to enjoy the benefits of the practice, understanding spaces are limited.
Yoga is meant to be applied to the individual. These special practices are developed for that unique purpose. As your Yoga teacher, when I know you are coming and have a sense of what you might be seeking, I can then be most prepared to serve you better.

Restorative Yoga
​Are you feeling tired, does your energy fluctuate throughout the day, is your mind cloudy, are you stressed? This integrated restorative practice will address these concerns by nourishing your body, mind and spirit with supportive postures held for longer periods of time. Our body knows how to heal itself, this practice will help you learn to relax deeply. In our peaceful, candlelit studio we will also explore the gift of a quieting restorative Yoga practice, pranayama and meditation putting your concerns aside, lifting your energy and clearing your mind.​
Advanced Mind/Body Yoga
This will be a themed and integrated class for those that have practiced with Julie for some time or those that have been yearning for a deeper yogic experience. Each practice will be unique, but we will move through breath centric asana, exploring postures to prepare us for more complicated pranayama, mantra and meditation. Sometimes more challenging postures will be included with plenty of preparation to explore them safely, central channel breathing and chakra focus will be taught, as well as some Vedic chanting.
Cost is $20 for a drop-in (if spaces are available) and regular students can use their membership.​
