ulie Bladon is a lady who has really walked the walk to bring
her to her current destination, travelling, absorbing, learning
and now sharing with all that she meets and helping others to
reach their full potential, across all ages.
When researching people it is
always of great interest to me
how they came to be where
they are and often it is through
a completely different journey
that their true vocation was
found and this is the case with
Julie.
Julie,
whilst
studying
at
university, was searching for a
way to de-stress, to unwind and
ultimately she discovered yoga.
She then went onto discover all
the associated health benefits
and from there a new journey
began. That was 20 years ago
and her continued learning has
been extensive.
Julie’s exploration of the healing
arts has taken her far and wide.
Her journey began in Australia
when she was called to study
Hawaiian
massage
(Lomi
Lomi). She has made repeated
trips back to Queensland to
continue her studies and has
had the honour to study with
Papa K, a Hawaiian elder,
in Hawaii.
She went onto
completed her yoga teacher
training at the Sivananda Yoga
Meenakshi Ashram in Madurai,

Southern India. She continues
to pursue her education in
yoga and the healing arts. This
ongoing process of learning is
what provides the fresh insights
that inspire her work. Recent
studies and workshops have
included Core Strength Vinyasa
Yoga with Sadie Nardini;
Applied Anatomy for Yoga
Teachers and Management of
Injuries with Nancy Braithwaite;
Journey to the Heart of Yoga
with Yogrishi Vishvketu; plus
workshops with Neville Cregan,
Bill Wood and Caroline Lang.
Balance, healthy breathing,
asana, meditation and deep
relaxation are a key focus in her
yoga teaching. Julie creates
a sacred and safe space for
students and clients to reach
their full potential. You will leave
her classes or massage room
feeling renewed, rejuvenated
and calm. These Her yoga
classes will support not just good
exercise for the body but a
focus on your overall wellbeing
and clarity of mind. She has a
passion for Yoga Nidra and the
profound effect that can have
on the body and mind.The idea
