Julie Kirkpatrick-GueyeDavid and Sharon have been Julie's teachers since the beginning, when they first began teaching yoga in a basement on Ave. B. With their encouragement and support, Julie completed the Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training program in May 2003.
Julie started teaching the children's classes at Jivamukti Yoga Center in April of 2002. She brings with her a strong background in working with children of all ages, having worked in private nursery schools and in the New York City Public Schools for the past 18 years, and from raising her two boys, Jules and Alex. Based on her knowledge of Jivamukti Yoga, Julie helped create guidelines for teaching the children's classes that incorporate the 5 tenets of Jivamukti Yoga.
Julie teaches according to what she learned in her studies with David and Sharon, always using their teachings as her source of inspiration. As Sharon instructed, Julie teaches a class, "that she would like to take herself."
Julie is thankful to be able to bring her knowledge of children to the Jivamukti Yoga Center and joyfully shares her understanding of Jivamukti Yoga with people of all ages.
