About
Julie Means
I
have been practicing yoga since I was a teenager. I began by myself,
learning from a book, as there were few yoga classes in rural upstate
New York then. Although the postures I studied were few and progression
in the practice limited to holding the same postures for longer
and longer times, I loved the peaceful deepening experiences I was
having, and my sense of inner calm and knowing strengthened as my
body became more open.
In
1991, I committed myself to yoga as a lifelong practice. It is the
thread that weaves my life together, the place where I find meaning,
peace, strength, awakening and serenity. In 2002, I became certified
to teach Kripalu Yoga, and began teaching in Indiana, PA.
In
2005, I met Kali Ray, world-renowned yoga master and founder of
TriYoga. With its emphasis on breath and flow and systematic awakening,
I felt that TriYoga was the practice that all of my
years of personal study had been leading me toward. I now teach
only TriYoga, as I believe it is a brilliant and completely safe
system of yoga. It is strengthening, opening and balancing, and
transformational on so many levels - physical, emotional, mental,
spiritual. I am so grateful to be able to teach TriYoga, and to
share with my students its healing and transformation!
