Kind words & reviews: Thank You.
"Julie is a fabulous host and yoga teacher, very calm and friendly. Maria."
"The practice you offered was wonderful and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to attend..Denise."
"A gentle, nurturing approach to yoga that also allows so much space for learning new things. Charlotte."
"The yoga was amazing. Rosie"
"It is true every yoga teacher brings their own unique gifts and wisdom to their classes - and you most certainly have been an inspiration even after 30 odd years of random yoga practice. Fiona"
"I have learnt so much about myself and my body during the yoga sessions a lot that I will take away with me and continue, you have made me realise how important it is to make sure you take some time out for yourself. Laura"

Dear Julie
I particularly like your venue and presentation. You make yoga practice & mudra seem as though they are something that can (and should) be a part of everyday living.
with best wishes
Saradananda."
Swami Saradananda's beautiful books and zoom Satsang teachings have influenced and inspired my classes. Mudras for Modern Life. The Power of Breath. Chakra Meditation. The Cleansing Power of Yoga. Sitting Comfortably.
Bird Song -Women's Circles
My little studio in Bensville. Let me know if you'd like to receive my Bird Song texts.
A place to practice women's ways. To breathe, to sing, to hum, to dance, to meditate, to dream, to wish, to nurture yourself.
The Solstice. Time to pause. Bird Song - Women's Circles will return in August.
*My yoga classes are still running & we practice all of the above as well as the yoga asana.
The Solstice is for everyone to celebrate but sadly most of us have forgotten. Sol in Latin means sun and stice comes from stister or sister and means to "pause"
We all need to take a pause more often in our busy lives.
We definitely need a pause from technology, it wastes so much of our precious time.
But we also need to rest, to be still, to sit and watch nature, to soak up the sun, to sit by a fire, to watch the moon or the brightest star, Sirius out in the West.
This is the forgotten medicine, the gift of the feminine.
The Yin of our overly Yang lives.
All the photographs on my website, all the beautiful places are images taken by me or my family, most are here on the coast or my birth place in England.
The places are lovely but they are not the experience of being there.
Go out and sit and soak up the land. Refill your cup.
I am taking a pause from Bird Song, I have family visiting and am looking forward to seeing you again in August.

"My wish is to help empower women to create and live a beautiful life. It is time for us to begin to create change. Let's encourage and nurture love, gentleness, peace, compassion, caring, softness, warmth, joy and feminine grace.
Change must begin in our own lives and then spirals out into the world around us.
A beautiful quote by Ticht Nacht Han puts this into perspective.
"The greatest gift you can give your family and friends is your happiness."
AND YOUR HEALTH
For Free yoga & meditation classes click here
There are three complimentary Yoga and Ayurveda Courses here on my website too.
The courses are designed to guide and mentor you through the classes using the traditional knowledge and teaching it in a feminine, modern way.
Many of you will know a little about yoga and meditation.
But what is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is yoga's sister science, interwoven and never separate.
Yoga and Ayurveda are complementary practices that offer us transformative tools for fostering greater health and vitality
Bird Song my book is a lovely, simple yet powerful introduction to Ayurveda

Every Yin posture has a beautiful, gentle, restorative adaption. You don't force yourself into a yoga asana, you begin with a gentle variation. You learn to breathe and soften and then your body begins to relax, to surrender, to trust you, to let go and you move deeper and deeper....And while your resting, in a deeper space, you listen to the wisdom of the yoga teachings.
Which inspire and encourage you to not only change your physical health but the health of your mind and spirit.
Namaste Julie
