Closing the Year With Care, and Beginning the Next With Intention
Every December I watch people I love rush straight through the season they say they want to enjoy. I do it too.
Yoga for the rest of your life.
Practices for a More Conscious Life
You were calm in savasana. Then someone cut you off. That's the practice showing you where it's needed next.
I'm Julianne. I teach yoga, meditation and deep rest for the part that happens after class: the kitchen, the commute, the conversation, the Monday.

The practice was never meant to end when you rolled up the mat.
What we notice in meditation, encounter in yoga, discover in study, or glimpse in a moment of stillness eventually has to meet ordinary life.
- Our relationships.
- Our bodies.
- Our choices.
- The way we respond when things do not go according to plan.
That is the part of practice I am most interested in. Not simply what happens while we are practicing, but who we become because we practice at all.

More than 5,000 people follow my practices on Insight Timer, and my studio classes were rated 5.0 from more than 100 ratings on ClassPass.
On a morning when I felt as if I was being pulled in many directions this practice really helped me find my centre and feel more settled. With gratitude.
This is just what I needed. A reminder that I'm safe, even while waiting for an answer. Thank you for this.

Meet Julianne
Where practice meets inquiry
I've spent nearly twenty years practicing yoga and meditation, and thirteen years teaching. Over time, that practice led me deeper into questions about consciousness, psychology, spirituality, and what it actually means to change.
Eventually I became just as interested in why these practices affect us the way they do.
Today, my work brings together lived practice, teaching, writing, and graduate study in consciousness, psychology, and transformation.

Design Your Sadhana
Sadhana is a Sanskrit word for personal practice: the small, steady act of coming back to yourself each day. Most of us don't struggle to find a practice. We struggle to keep one.
This free workbook walks you through six gentle steps to build a daily practice around your actual life, energy and intention. You build it in three sizes, so it survives busy weeks and hard days.
- ArriveReflect honestly on your relationship with practice so far.
- MapSee the real shape of your day and your energy.
- IntendChoose one intention and connect it to a sankalpa.
- DesignBuild your practice in three sizes from a menu of options.
- PracticeTry it in your body and refine it by how it feels.
- CommitSet your forty days and plan for the days you miss.
Includes a practice menu with guided practices you can do with me, a practice card to keep, and a tracker for your forty days.

Essays on practice, consciousness and the inner life, written between classes and graduate seminars.
What Is Sadhana? Building a Practice That Fits Your Real Life
You start a practice with real devotion. For a week or two, it feels wonderful. Then life happens. The problem is almost never willpower. The problem is design.
How Twenty Years of Practice Changed What I Thought Yoga Was
Yesterday, my son started talking to me while I was on my laptop, and I closed it. That's the whole moment.
