Yoga With Julie
Julie dedicates her full-time efforts to an emergency wildlife response non-profit, yet she carves out time daily to engage in yoga, both as a practitioner and instructor.
Her journey into yoga stemmed from a quest for peace, resilience, and relief from severe back and neck injuries sustained over years of car and horseback riding accidents.
By intertwining her passion for nature with the holistic benefits of yoga, Julie has attained profound healing and tranquility across mind, body, and spirit.
Following her completion of teacher training, she has joyfully embraced the role of guiding others through their yoga journeys.

Impact Statement
Through our environmental education initiatives, we've not only removed 10,366 pounds of trash from our environment but also raised awareness among 7,909 participants about the importance of waste reduction and environmental conservation.
Our programs have sparked tangible behavioral changes, inspiring individuals to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. Moreover, our strong community engagement, including partnerships with 17 local organizations, Title 1 Schools, local indigenous tribe, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Boys & Girls Club of Capo Valley have enabled us to reach a broader audience and foster a culture of environmental stewardship.
As we continue to expand our efforts, we remain committed to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our programs and are proud to share the testimonials and success stories of those whose lives we've positively impacted along the way.
