Julia Ferris
Julia Ferris has been working in the healing arts for 33 yrs as a licensed massage therapist, specializing in hospice care and oncology massage, and since 2019 also a yoga teacher. Prior to 1990, she worked in the natural foods industry and was a NPC competitor and champion, but due to injuries from weight lifting, she retired. It was then a friend suggested she accompany her to Kripalu yoga, and since then she has had a practice of yoga. Along the way in her massage practice, she witnessed the healing ability of Iyengar yoga in clients with severe injuries. It seemed to her that Iyengar yoga did the impossible; it healed injuries that she thought of as beyond repair. So impressed with its healing abilities on the human body, it wasn't long before she became an Iyengar devotee. Today, Julia teaches Gentle Yoga that is "Iyengar inspired" with the intention of wholeness, harmony, and healing. This slower paced practice offers a well supported practice including movement and breath. This is a perfect beginning yoga class that is also appropriate for those working with injury, limited mobility, or who prefer a softer, gentler approach to yoga
