Julia’s first passion has always been dancing. According to her there is nothing more expressive than moving the body through space, listening and exploring the unique language of our individual body.

She offers in-person and online private + group mindful movement sessions and complimentary yoga practices via her YouTube Channel – Live With Ease which is a wonderful creative outlet for her. It’s her way of giving back and being of service to others especially during these unprecedented times.
