Julia started her yoga journey in her and her husbands’ martial arts studio under the tutelage of Andrea Kirkham. Julia became a martial artist in 1991 after 20 years of dancing. She had already graduated from the Penn State University with a major in Therapeutic Recreation and a minor in dance. Julia has been employed as a child development specialist, job coach, and an intensive case manager for children with mental health diagnosis.  Currently Julia has been teaching martial arts with a special interest in preschool and school age children for 22 years.

 Julia is proud to have been in Andrea’s first teacher training course (2013) at Sangha Center. Yoga might be a relatively new love but it fits well into Julia’s dance/martial arts background. Julia looks forward to a very long journey down the yoga path and enjoys meeting new people along the way.
