Meet Your Yoga Instructor
Julie Skoglund

Julie has her RYT 500 hr certification through True Nature School of Yoga in Oceanside, CA.

She works full-time for an emergency wildlife response non-profit but makes room in her daily life to practice and teach yoga whenever possible.

Julie came to yoga to find peace, resiliency, and relief from severe back and neck injuries after years of damage from multiple car and horseback riding accidents. By infusing her love of nature and life with all that yoga offers, Julie has found true peace and healing in mind, body, and spirit! After completing teacher training, Julie has also discovered her love of sharing and guiding others through the practice of yoga.
