About Satori

Hey, my name is Julia.

Pain has been my faithful companion as far back as I can remember, and living with chronic pain taught me to look for solutions in the most unlikely places.

I’ve always been interested in movement modalities, searching for ways to move without hurting afterwards. Along the way, I found yoga, and then, some years later, pain science. Combined, this powerful duo has completely transformed my life.

I’ve been studying and teaching yoga full-time since 2006. Over the years, I have accumulated over 4,000 hours of yoga, anatomy, Ayurveda, meditation, movement and pain science training.

I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned to help others find their ground while navigating, living, and winning their battle with chronic pain.

I am here to help you see ancient movement practices and modern cutting-edge science as something that can inspire, inform, give hope, and provide a well-worn path to follow.

Testimonials

Julia is a master in her craft, a blessing to have in my life. I appreciate your work!

Sheri .

Julia has literally transformed my body over 9 years of her classes! From in-person classes to our Covid shifts online, to in-person one on one therapy sessions, she has guided me through healing from repetitive stresses, joint issues, and a torn ligament, and I’m stronger and more flexible than my 20 year old self was at 39. Julia is a miracle worker, and her work has been a gift for me and my health

Liz H.

I have been attending Julia's yoga classes for several years now. She is an excellent teacher! I suffered from osteoarthritis in my knees & wrist area & her knowledge of pain and how movement practice can assist with that has been life changing for me! I would highly recommend trying a class! Julia offers several different classes including pain care through Zoom so you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home!

Wendy R.

I was given Julia’s name by a friend and I’m so happy I signed up with her for this session. The next day after I do a class, I feel so good; stiffness relieved for a period of time and energy levels up. I hope I can continue doing these exercises. I feel another set of classes will help me before I can continue on my own. My pain levels are high and I look forward to any relief I get. Thank you, Julia.

Jaye L.

Julia is extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy and movement. She has a very unique approach, and I'm planning to learn more from her in the future!

Linda K.

I was told about Julia from a colleague who knows I suffer from lower back and hip pain. I met and worked with her once and felt seen, heard and truly understood. She asked me many questions and taught me new skills! I booked a three session private class and am eager to see what she has in store for me next! If you’re struggling, do yourself a favor and reach her!!!

April T.

I was fortunate to meet Julia when she was teaching lunch hour yoga, many years ago. Julia's knowledge of yoga and the body ensure the right experience for me. In recent years, I've had a few privates, and pursued pain relief through yoga and related exercises with Julia. Her instruction has provided me with easy, accessible exercises that I can use anytime at home or wherever I aim. They help with my hip and back immensely. For myself ease, relief and sustainability are essential - Julia's pain relief yoga checks all of my boxes!! Thank you Julia for continuing to practice, teach and help me.

Julia is a wonderful person. Very knowledgeable and good at explaining how and why we are doing the movements to strengthen and keep the body moving. Great studio!

Julia is a highly-educated, experienced and thoughtful yoga teacher. Her yoga classes offer much, much more than the average class. Anyone whose body is struggling, has specific issues or just needs some TLC, can benefit massively from her specialized yoga classes. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Julia is extremely well trained and knowledgeable. She is a caring educator with a passion for helping people of all ages with chronic pain issues. I highly recommend taking a class with her and benefit from her experience and understanding of the body and mind.

Julia is an amazing yoga instructor. She has a lovely way to describe poses and allow you to explore the different sensations in them. Her vast knowledge makes you feel safe and supported, yet she finds ways to challenge not only your body but your mind.
