Athletics was always an integral part of Julie’s life. After recovering from serious spinal surgeries in her 30s, she needed to find a new way to challenge her body and find balance in her life. She found Bikram yoga and that experience opened the door to a whole new way of living and being! The physical benefits spoke to her, but the spiritual and mental benefits were unexpected and amazing. Julie opened Half Moon Yoga Studio in 2012 in the community she grew up in and loves, so she could share all the goodness that comes from a regular yoga practice. Julie is experienced and believes in the therapeutic benefits of yoga. She guides her Half Moon students in learning to deepen their relationship with themselves, and hopes they grow to trust their own ability to heal themselves. She continues her deep training and personal growth studying with Gary Kraftsow and the American Viniyoga Institute. http://www.viniyoga.com
Besides practicing yoga and meditation, she comes alive learning something new, collecting antiques, tending her garden and 1790 farm house, and spending time with her family, friends, dogs and orange tabby kitty, Mr. Stubblefield. Pilates Instructor:

Our special classes (i.e. Advanced Mind/Body Yoga and Restorative) have been well received by our community! Once the class is full, we keep a waitlist. CLASS POLICY
If you are unable to attend a special class that you registered for and did not cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged for that practice from your membership or sent an invoice. Memberships cover these practices; without a membership the cost is $18 for a drop-in. Our hope is that in your absence you will want another Half Moon yogi to enjoy the benefits of the practice, as spaces are limited. WHY REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THESE PRACTICES
Yoga is meant to be applied to the individual. These special practices are developed for that unique purpose. When Julie knows you are coming and has a sense of what you're seeking, she can then be most prepared to serve you as your teacher. Check out our class schedule at halfmoonhershey.com and join us anytime! May you be well, may you be happy, may you be peaceful. Namaste.
