Julissa: I spent 15 years of my life working in the NY fashion industry as a clothing designer. Thanks to the enormous stress of that career path, in the Fall of 2000', I found Yoga. Little did I know that what started out as a method of stress relief would completely change the trajectory of my life. In 2004 I did my first Anusara® teacher training with Yoga Montclair founder Vishali Varga. Since then, I have done well over 500 hours of classes, workshops, retreats, teacher training's with Certified Anusara teachers , including over 150 hours with John Friend, the founder of Anusara® Yoga. As a teacher, it is my desire to offer what I have been given as a student by the amazing teachers that I have. I hope to empower every student with knowledge of the bio-mechanics of how the body works through the Universal Principles of Alignment and their power to heal. I thank all of my main teachers, Vishali Varga, Zhenja LaRossa, Sianna Sherman and of course John Friend, for their patience and generosity.
