I strive to create a safe space for ALL people regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender, size, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, and background.

Julie is the creator of Yoga for Bigger Bodies but has now passed on the amazing program to Bethany Batsell. Bethany continues to provide a safe space for anyone at any size to become more in tune with their body. Yoga for Bigger Bodies is designed to bring yoga to those who feel that the traditional class setting is not providing the support and encouragement that is needed to feel successful in yoga.

Yoga for Bigger Bodies is a gentle yoga class that provides mindfulness, self-care, and mind/body/spirit connection. This class will provide you with tools that will help build strength, flexibility, and confidence not just physically but also mentally.
