Iulia was connected to yoga from a young age when she started gymnastics. Her first yoga class connected her back to her childhood as a gymnast and she simply fell in love. Her love for yoga blossomed over the years and she started to connect deeper to her spiritual side. Yoga became part of her life for over 12 years and she decided to enrol herself in the teacher training program in hopes that she will inspire others to heal through yoga in the same way it has healed her. Iulia finds so much joy and fulfillment in seeing students discover their own personal yoga journeys and she loves guiding them along the way, one breath at a time. When Iulia is not out on the mat, you can find her hiking, working out, and walked her pup Oliver.

Rosemary began practicing yoga diligently in 2017 for exercise and leisure. She was then enlightened by the numerous mental and physical benefits that made her fall in love with the practice of yoga. She began to see her yoga mat as a magic carpet ride as she discovered something new each time she was on it, and therefore felt compelled to become a teacher to share her light and passion for yoga with others. With a background in dance, she likes to focus on graceful transitions that strengthen, heal and stretch the body with energy and emotion. Through intention, meditation, pranayama and asana, her goal is to have students leave each class feeling refreshed, renewed, calm and connected to their deepest self. Her class serves to remind us all that this is yoga practice, not yoga perfect.

“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.” – J. Krishnamurti

Initially I pursued yoga as a physical practice with the intent to find some relief and improve my overall strength and flexibility. However, not only did I see improvement in my health, as I continued on my path I realized that practicing yoga had become so much more. My practice has helped me to grow stronger and become more fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment fully with the awareness that each breath is a gift.
