Julie Margolis, Anusara Inspired, Certified Yoga Alliance 500 hours. Julie Margolis has been teaching yoga since 2004. When she took her first Anusara class later that year, she felt a strong, immediate connection and her heart and mind opened wide. Julie's love of yoga is contagious, and she strives to create a warm, compassionate environment in which to practice. Her classes are characterized by careful attention to flowing sequence, precise alignment instruction, always accompanied by laughter. Julie believes that our yoga practice is a metaphor for the way we live our lives and that the vast and varied knowledge we gain on the mat through the Universal Principals of
Alignment and Shiva Shakti tantric philosophy have a direct application to our everyday lives. One of Julie's students recently wrote of her: "Her knowledge, kindness and inspiration are felt throughout the entire class and shared individually with each and every student. She shares openly and honestly with her personal practice in each and every class. She absolutely makes one fall in love with yoga and eager to get back to the next class." Julie's study of yoga has made her aware that she is always practicing, whether in the capacity of a student, teacher, or mother to her three young girls. She is grateful to all of her life teachers both on and off the mat. Julie lives in Montclair, NJ, with
her husband, daughters and a cat named Hanuman Lotus Yustein.
