Thank you Julia for sharing your knowledge and for just being fabulous!

Thank you Julia for an amazing autumn workshop in a stunning location. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and refreshments, especially the flapjacks! Christina did a wonderful sound bath. My first experience of a cold bath, with your support. Sauna was great too, I will definitely come again x

Taking a moment to ‘stop’ the chaos of modern life is essential and Julia’s workshops are perfect for this. Julia expertly guides you through your yogi journey bringing your awareness to the here and now. It was really interesting learning more about Ayurveda and how the seasons affect the body and the little adjustments we can do to benefit us and keep us balanced. Once again Julia, so needed, thank you!

Another fantastic workshop with Julia. Today we focused on how to take care of ourselves in the winter months; taking in to account the changes in our environment and body. We were given tools and advice on how to maintain balance through Ayurvedic and Yoga practices. Julia imparts so much knowledge and advice in 2 hours. Really worthwhile workshops 🙏

Thank you for another fantastic workshop – Julia is so knowledgeable & passionate about the importance of rest & self care. This workshop gave me an insight into making small changes to my day – breathing more, restful sleeping & increasing hydration. Really looking forward to the next session in June.

This was my first workshop with Julia, after thoroughly enjoying her yoga sessions, I wasn’t disappointed! Her knowledge is vast, and very captivating. I was able to listen, learn, and absorb the information handed to me and totally transform myself with the practical side of it too. It was perfectly planned. I left feeling very light and restored. I am keen to take my learnings further with me for a more balanced lifestyle. Thank you Julia.

I attended an Ayurvedic rest and restore workshop this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was informative, calming and restorative-a restful treat for our overstimulated nervous systems. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in finding out a little more about Ayurveda and wanting to carve out some time for self care.

I have attended a number of Julia’s workshops over the years and I always leave restored and inspired by her offerings. Julia’s is able to impart her infinite knowledge of Ayurveda in a digestible and practical way; that you can take away with you and put in to practice immediately. Although the two hours flew by I left with all the tools to have balance and well-being in my day to day life. See you on the 3rd June Julia!
