Part tutorial, part exercises for back health, this session will teach you how to prevent and heal sacroiliac (SI) joint pain/overstretching. This is a common injury in the yoga world and this class will help you understand why you might have back pain that doesn't go away no matter what you do. Props needed: rolled up towel. Optional props: block and a resistant band.

As we know September often kickstarts some new running and cycling habits, we decided to feature this well-loved class in our Throwback Thursday series. If you're a runner, cyclist or do any other strong sports that demand a lot from your legs, give this practice a try – your hamstrings will be happy you did!We're often told that we need to stretch our hamstrings if we're running or cycling, etc. But is that really true and is it really useful? Julie starts by debunking some myths about how our bodies respond to stretching and gives you a 25-minute class to find your range of motion and functional mobility after a run, cycling or any other strong sporting activity. You'll relieve any tension and find freedom in your movement.

Camel is one of those divisive, 'love it or hate it' poses'. In this Throwback class, Julie pretty much guarantees that, by the end, almost everyone will feel comfortable enough to "get a great 'Camel in"! Let us know how you get on in the comments below.Ustrasana (Camel pose) is a pretty intense backbend for many people, but working with Julie's style of "flirting" with the pose allows you to ease into the sense of back bending. No commitments will be made until the end of the class to see how we're feeling about our 'relationship' with our new friend, the camel!

A real 'Julie classic' for today's Throwback Thursday class – a sequence full of twists, turns, circles, and spirals (and no tea bags required!).Using the spiral action of the arm to activate spirals in the spine, we work through this strengthening sequence in fluidity and harmony with the natural movement of the body. If you're new to the arm movements, check out my intro video.You might also like to try: 3 cups of tea part 2!

Today's Throwback Thursday class is one of our favourite ways to warm up (and one of yours, judging by the number of comments!). It's like a full body internal massage; give it a try!30 minutes of snaking, waving, pulsing and finding freedom in the body. Be ready to roll around on the floor and play with spinal movements.

After a long day at work or in the midst of stressful situations, this quick restorative class includes a simple pranayama practice that will allow you the pause that your body and mind need. Come and rest and restore with me.Props: A block, a bolster, a cushion or thick towels.

This Throwback Thursday class was chosen by Julie, who says: "this was one of my first classes for EkhartYoga with no mat. Woo hoo! The 'security blanket' that the mat can create makes this practice a fun challenge - give it a try and let me know how it goes!" Repeating a section from one of Julie's ‘Gorillas' classes, this is a travelling floor sequence that repeats 3 times to become a continuous flow, integrating strength, power and grace.

Get back to simplicity and connect to your body as a sacred space, a place of belonging. Entering into each pose without judgement or expectation, we move through a sequence where we visit the familiar and let go of complicated transitions so that we can be at peace, find stillness and remain aware in a state of equilibrium.

Would you like to know how to keep your knees 'safe' in your yoga practice? Want to have stronger knees? Well, the answer is in the feet and the hips and their ability to communicate movement and load. I take you through several exercises to teach you how to strengthen your knees by gaining mobility in your ankles. Plus I bust some myths and get your glutes working too, so that what you end up with is complete harmony and freedom in your knees!Props: 1 massage ball or tennis ball.

One of Julie's Throwback Thursday picks. She says: “I love this class because it was one of my first at EkhartYoga and in it I introduce some of the animal/functional movements that are integrated into many of my classes. It's so much fun and I think everyone still enjoys the playfulness of it.”In this class we play with natural animal movements to find strength and power in a non-linear structure. Working with some mini flows that repeat and we get off the mat, as usual! For the tutorial Julie refers to, click here:

A wonderful contrast to our typical sitting posture, this class will help you to build strength in the back of the body and find space in the front. We'll be playing around with a bit of Ustrasana (Camel pose) towards the end but your body will be fully ready for it. A layered sequence that everyone can do.

For those of you looking for a strong class that doesn't put pressure on your wrists or shoulders, this is it! We focus on getting up and down from the floor without using our hands. It’s a challenge, yes – but it’s also is a wonderful, functional sequence that will help you to find ways to work with the power in your legs and with the power of momentum. 

A much requested tutorial - I'm diving into some of the science behind why we need to understand how the nervous system works to comprehend when and why to actually stretch. I'm going to bust a lot of myths here and challenge some of the things you probably have heard in other classes, but I think most of you will find it extremely useful in order to prevent injury.As mentioned, you can find out more about Gary Carter's course here:

I like busting some myths about what we perceive as 'core'. Static holding of stronger poses doesn't really help us to integrate our strength and stability, so in this class there is a lot of movement/negotiation in stronger poses so that we can learn how to activate all of the muscles involved in executing a movement. Come join me - it's going to be fun too! 

Many people believe they need to work on more hip openers – however the opposite is more likely. Most of us have weak hips, especially glutes, and then add lots of Pigeon stretches to their practice. What happens next is that the lower back starts to take over where the hip muscles have switched off. This class is the remedy to all of that! Practice it regularly for a better range of motion and remove resistance while focusing on hip strength to get that perfect balance. 

We start with some Sun salutation variations before easing in to some poses that will awaken your spine, hips and shoulders. A short and sweet energising flow without too much intensity to set you up for an awesome day!

You can do this class at any time of day of course, but I designed this quick energiser with those of you who have limited time first thing in the morning but you want to MOVE before you head out. It's short, it's sweet and it hits all the right spots. (I think I made it fun too!) 

I love focused work on the feet! Our balance and stability starts with our feet and ankles – areas we tend not to give to much attention to in terms of mobility and strength. In this half tutorial/half movement class you'll learn how to activate your feet to feel their connection to the spine, and gain a better understanding of how the body and brain work together to find balance. Props: Towel or a small cushion

I get a lot of requests for shoulder, neck and upper back classes – so here we go again! A few old favourites pop up here (Hello Evil shoulder openers!) as well as some mobility drills within a sequence that helps us establish strength in the shoulders first. So important to maintain healthy range of motion in the shoulders and neck! 

"We're down, we're up, we're facing that direction, now the other. Which way is she headed?!" Once again I've pulled out all the stops and created a playful sequence that takes you all over the mat and challenges some of your strength at the same time. It's good for your brain as well as your body and it's pretty entertaining too! 

This quick session is designed to help you find mobility in your hamstrings. As we journey through a few simple yet effective exercises you'll get some of the science along the way! This is a great class to do after any kind of workout or even after just sitting for a long period. You'll need a belt and a block.

Following on from my previous fascial release class, this one is specifically for the neck, shoulders and upper back. You'll need a few tools: 2 tennis balls or massage balls in a sock or small bag. One block and a blanket or towel. Be prepared for deep relaxation at the end! 

Slowing down is tough in a world that rewards doing more and faster. But it's truly what we all need. When we slow movement down it doesn't necessarily make it easier, in fact it adds a bit more challenge as we really feel where we are connected or not. Most of this practice will happen quite low to the floor and you'll gain a deeper strength if you practice it regularly. 

A great practice to release the whole back line of the body without getting too intense. We work through the adductors and the lower back and move into various forward folds to create space and release tension. Enjoy this class after a run, cycle or other sports.

Wind down at the end of your day and head towards some deep rest. A relaxing class with a simple sequence all done on the back. You'll need a block and blanket or a cushion/bolster. 

If we're spending more time sitting, then chances are our hip flexors are holding more tension. Also true for anyone who runs and cycles a lot. This sequence is all about making space in the hip flexors to release the lower back. A simple and layered practice and you'll be amazed at how great your back feels afterwards! 

Fun changes of direction while playing with mobility in the hips and shoulders. Julie doesn't disappoint in this creative flow with her typical style of embodied practice. Fun and feel good vibes together!

A short and sweet flow that repeats and adds on (no surprises there!) using circular Cobras as our starting point and layering challenges as we go along. A sequence that will get everything going for your day ahead.

Let's challenge the stability in our shoulders! If you struggle with arm balances, head or handstands or even Chaturangas, you're not alone. This class takes you through a series of fun sequences that will activate the larger, stronger muscles in the shoulder girdle so that we can truly fire up the connection of the arm all the way to the core. Repeat this class regularly and see how much strength you gain!

This class is all about exploring a shape, then coming back into a more 'classic' version and pausing for 5 breaths. Think of this as a movement laboratory. We will get super sensory about the difference between movement and stillness - in the poses as well as in the moments of rest. Hopefully you'll feel alive and awakened by the end. 

Stress getting you down? Feeling a bit stuck but tired too? Wondering why nap time isn't mandatory? This is the class for you! Starting with some gentle movement explorations and adding a quick breath sequence, we quickly move on to 3 wonderful restorative poses to release the stresses and strains of life. Grab a blanket/towel, blocks and a bolster or two (firm cushions are a good substitute) and come join me! 

A faster-paced class using lots of momentum and direction changes. Lots of signature Julie moves here – including rolling, flipping, circling and more. A continuously flowing class to get you energised from the inside out. And of course, lots of playful exploration too. Enjoy the ride! 

Revolving around the heart centre, this class takes us through some simple asymmetrical back bends. We find the beauty in the spiral of the spine as we meet the heart again and again. A continuous flow that repeats and builds, this practice will invite you to connect deeply to this sacred space.

This class breaks down all of the elements needed to discover why your hamstrings might be tight and how to let the body find its way to ease. It's never about stretching the hamstrings; it's about engaging through the glutes and the whole posterior chain in order to remove resistance. A perfect practice for anyone who sits for long hours and has lower back pain and tight hamstrings! Please have a couple of blocks and belt nearby.

The breath mudra is a wonderful way to connect to the sensory experience of each inhale and exhale. It helps us to stay focused and truly fall in the love with the experience of the breath. I love this sequence as it is calming and peaceful and makes me feel connected to my whole body.

This fun tutorial is based on using blanket sliding to develop core strength. Don't worry if you don't have a wooden floor, just use plastic bags on carpet instead. We go through several different exercises to help find your upper, middle and lower core to get some power into the muscles. It can be pretty challenging but also lots of fun. Give it a go and see if you can integrate this into your regular routine once in a while. 

Grab a bath towel or a blanket and get rolling with me! Foam rollers are actually too hard to allow the full fascial release in most body parts so I'll take you through a series of body rolling on a blanket / towel to release tension and feel fully enlivened by the end. All levels welcome and especially those of you who do lots of sports! You'll love it! 

This is a great class to get the extra stress and tension out of the throat and jaw! A series that takes you through lots of ranges of motion but brings in deep exhalations to allow old air and pent up stress to release through sound and sensation. A fun flow with most of the class practised closer to the ground. We stay on the mat for the most part too! 

If you love getting your core fired up and accessing all the ranges of motion at the same time then this is the class for you. Not only are we working 'universal core' but there's also some heavy work for the glutes and the thighs. Be prepared to change direction (get a little confused!) and fire up all the muscles of the body throughout this invigorating class. 

A slow flow class that also gets a bit of work in! Julie will take you through a simple sequence with no repetition, instead we'll spend more time investigating shapes. We will work some strengthening movements but the all around gist of this one is to get into as many body parts as possible with curiosity. Great for end of the day!

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to activate integrated strength and discover how the body can cultivate a 'universal core'. I've broken down the elements so it's great for newer students, as well as those who have more experience. And of course we'll have some fun with it too! 

This class was live on 16 September 13:00 CET - you can still watch the replay.Playing with spinal movements to create freedom and energy flow throughout the body. In this 30 minute class we'll explore ranges of motion for the spine in all different directions. Expect lots of waves, snakes, spirals and twists to gather mobility and strength and leave you feeling like you've got a new spine!! 

It's all in the title, folks! Don't have much time and want to get some mobility, wake up as many body parts as possible? This quick and progressive class gives you just what you need. A standing flow for everyone!

This class isn't about doing a Headstand - instead it's about working on the strength and range of motion in the muscles around the shoulder girdle, so that not only your Headstands but other arm balances become easier. We'll play with an approach to Headstand at the end but expect mostly upper body strength work in this one! Lots of 'typical' Julie stuff in here too!

A great sequence to relieve tired muscles and especially remove tension from the hamstrings and the whole back of the body. We want to encourage elasticity in our hamstrings so that we don't lose that power and recoil ability, so expect lots of engage and release, plus pulsing and circling to gain range of motion and ease in our movement. 

This is a fast-paced practice which keeps up the momentum and often changes direction. It's a golden nugget of movement meditation for those of you who love rolling around on the floor with me and being surprised by what comes next!

A class with lots of strength work and the usual 'Julie moves'. We'll experiment with being in a wobbly state that helps the body process balance. Expect a bit of a challenge but, of course, lots of fun - and feel the power you're cultivating at the same time!

Feel through the connections in the spiral line in the back of the body to find more stability and elasticity. Often a new experience for students, we'll connect the shoulder to its opposite leg and integrate our back body strength and mobility. Of course it will be playful and fun - expect a bit of rolling around too. 

Taking the body and mind on a journey to find sanctuary within. A strong but peaceful class designed to bring in body awareness with lots of waves through the spine. Feel yourself let go of everything around you and dive into the freedom we can explore in our bodies. A great escape from the rest of your day!

Julie takes you through a series of techniques and stretches to release tension in the neck, shoulders and jaw. A card-carrying member of the jaw clenching club, Julie often talks about the importance of releasing the jaw and neck to free up the shoulders and upper back. This class is designed for anyone with tension or tightness in their neck, shoulders and upper back. It'll feel amazing when you're done; try it!

A strong, fluid standing sequence is at the heart of this class. With just a short lead in we'll get to a standing flow that includes balances and shifting of weight. With bows and arrows, spiral lunges and lots of change of direction, Julie-style! A great way to power up your legs and spine.

A strong but accessible class that involves lunge variations to find ease as we work our way towards Ustrasana (Camel pose).  We practice various backbends with support, to unravel through the front of the body and arrive with more comfort in our bodies.

This class is perfect for those of you who have had a long hard day or week (or more!) especially if you sit or stand for long periods of time during the day.  Starting off standing with a gentle warm up, we work our way down to the floor. We massage the lower back in movement and get into the hip flexors to help relieve stress in the spine. Then there are a few shoulder openers and a lovely, restorative finish. Enjoy this practice any time you need to let go of stress or pressure. You'll need 2 blocks, or a bolster if you have one, and a blanket.

Julie will take you through a series of deep hip connections to open and strengthen before getting into a Mandala-style balancing sequence that will have you wobbling in your Tree and twisting into 'Krishna'!  This class is a great challenge for those of you who find balancing difficult.  It's perfect for creating new neural pathways that will help you find stability in the long run.  Plus, you'll have fun!

This is a wonderful pranayama that has a similar method to Nadi Shodhana (Alternate nostril breathing).  It uses a Mudra and movement and will ultimately bring stillness to the mind and body.  This practice is accessible and suitable for all levels whether you've done pranayama before or not.

In this longer than usual class, Julie takes you through a simple warm up to get all the parts connected and then progresses into a strong flow that focuses on our shoulder stability. There'll be a special focus on poses like forearm plank variations, Wild Things/Rock Stars and more.  A strong class that gets you going!

Runners, cyclists, rock climbers and other athletes: this is the class for you! Tight IT bands can cause problems with the knees and lower back and in this tutorial/class I take you through a few exercises that help us release it with ease, while busting a few myths about 'stretching the IT band'.  You'll need a towel and a belt. Hope you enjoy it!

An energizing, 40-minute class to get you going in the morning.  We start quickly but not too abruptly, getting the spine fluid and all the joints working. It's a layered sequence that repeats and adds on for three rounds. There are lots of shoulder openers along the way to get you ready for whatever the day throws at you.

After my class on hip strengthening I realised I had more work to do!  This class really focuses on the strength in the glutes coming up off the floor and into standing balances.  It will challenge you and of course, you'll have a laugh too as you see me lose my balance, say words that don't exist (making them up again) and watch my leggings keep sliding down! I had fun and I hope you will too in this strong flow!

A great class for anyone who needs a bit of relief in their shoulders and hips. Julie takes you through some accessible shoulder openers and works through the body to get nicely into the hips without getting too intense. More of a Hatha-style sequence, this class is perfect at the end of a long day of sitting, especially if that day involved a bit of stress. Come and enjoy the release!

Working with the movements of the spine by waving through variations, this sequence is another one from Julie that allows you to release through the lower back down to the hamstrings and up to the upper spine too.  Kneeling and standing variations of waving Cat/Cow will give power in the front and back of the spine and help you find the elasticity in the pelvis - particularly the psoas/hip flexors.  This hour-long class will get you mobile and strong, yet feeling like your spine is free!

A shorter sequence with lots of kick to it! This practice is light on detailed instruction but includes lots of rolling and spiralling, some squatting variations and an arm balance or two. A powerful, continuous flow that takes you on a journey of the whole body.

This is a short and strong sequence that starts from standing and flows through an active, continuous flow to get the heat up and the blood flowing. If you've been practicing with me already you'll love this class to get stuck right into if you're short on time. We get into the whole body and repeat the loop 3 times in total. Enjoy!

This class focuses on using the articulation of all the joints in order to maintain the elastic quality in our movement.  If we want to stay springy and strong we need to avoid locking out our joints.  This can be challenging in the beginning as you'll notice groups of muscles needed to automatically engage in order to find the support. Have a play with this sequencing and hopefully you'll bounce off into the rest of your day!

Many of us sit long hours at desks in a hunched position. We can end up bringing that shape - usually the rising of the shoulders - into our yoga practice unless we re-programme the back muscles to support and simultaneously open the chest. This class is part tutorial and part short sequence to help you find the best way to engage the muscles in the back of the body to create stability and strength. This allows you to feel more comfortable in holding the spine upright, as well as discovering more ease in your backbends.As usual, Julie changes direction a lot during class, so we suggest placing your mat length-ways. 

Sometimes we enjoy our hip openers a bit too much and forget that we also need to stabilise and strengthen our hips equally as much. If you sit or stand for long periods in your daily life then this is an essential class for you; you'll regain strength in the lower back by reconnecting to the external hip muscles. This strong class involves side arm planks but no standing poses. It's all about keeping it low and grounded.

Do you find sitting crossed-legged really uncomfortable? If so, this is the practice for you. I've designed this simple sequence of exercises to help those of you who feel like you're straining or tense when sitting crossed-legged.  We start on the back to have easy access to movement in the hip joints and begin to free up tension through gentle movements.  If you feel the results at the end then keep up with this short sequence on a regular basis, you'll find sitting crossed legged gets more comfortable over time.

A short and sweet flow that gives you a little bit of everything to start your day.  We begin gently but move into a continuous flow that gets the heart rate going and fuels you for the rest of your day!  Use this class whenever you're short on time but still want to get the whole body energised.

Releasing the back of the body, especially the hamstrings, allows us to relieve tension everywhere. Engaging and releasing to find more length throughout, Julie guides us through some 'Octopus waves' and spirals in the legs. We'll also wake up the upper back. It's a nice practice for anyone who sits or stands all day, plus great for runners and cyclists too.

By moving between shapes, shifting weight, changing direction and making all the inner connections needed for strength, we can gain a fluidity in a practice that is much stronger than it looks. Layering movement, you'll start off slow and find how the hands and feet connect into our universal core and their role in finding strength in the pelvis.  At the end we play with Bakasana to have a bit of fun and test our connections. Because we build movement and strength in layers, this class is suitable for all levels.

This is a 10 minute, guided body scan meditation with Julie. A somatic practice based in becoming aware of the sensations that arise as you journey through the body. We can notice tension or ease, a deeper vibration and often we find a deep sense of calm by the end. This is the perfect way to start or end your day. Easy to follow and perfect for any level of practitioner. 

Using the floor as our massage partner we can wake up our connections to the nervous system, cardiovascular, fascial system, endocrine and more. Julie will guide you through a short investigation of rolling, rocking, shifting weight, never getting off the floor so that by the time you finish you'll feel awake, alive and refreshed without having to do a whole yoga class. When you haven't got much time or energy this is the perfect way to stay connected to your body and mind!

After you've practiced Revolve around the mat - Part 1 and you're ready to add on the full standing flow, why not try this class? This one is for those of you who prefer a longer class and the usual directional challenges that Julie so loves. Come, join in the fun! Adjustments for smaller spaces offered.

Find your inner break dancer, pyramid and twisted surfer in this typical 'Julie-style' sequence that takes you around the mat in all directions. Revolving and spiralling the spine are the movement themes within. Julie offers some variations for those of you who practice in smaller spaces.  This can be done either as a full practice or as part of a longer sequence. Click here for Part 2!

If you just want to wake up and get moving, this is the class for you! It's a layered and looped standing sequence, adding levels of depth and exploring variations in all the poses while repeating and adding on. If you've practiced with Julie before you'll glide through this with ease and strength. If not, give it a try!

Another great flow class from Julie, using lots of strengtheners and changes of direction. On each round we end up back where we started with a new sensation. The first round is slow and investigative but as we add layers and repeat, it turns into a lovely, continuous flow that can be done again and again.  Strength work throughout, minus exhaustion. 

In attempting to do backbends, or "stretch" our hip flexors, we can actually create more tension. Julie takes you through a sequence to help you release the hip flexors first and then find the fluidity in the lower back. We encourage the release of gripping sensations, working through the feet and allowing the whole spine freedom.  Everyone will benefit from this class, whether it's to find more ease in your backbends or just to unwind from a day of sitting at a desk.

This sequence travels in a circular flow from on the floor to standing and back down again. A continuous flow that keeps looping back on itself allows you to find a movement meditation - a movement Mantra! During the first round we take time to feel through the body and gain more speed and momentum as we continue. This is a great, strong, all-round practice for when you're shorter on time.

Opening up and strengthening the connections through the side body, with lots of exploration of your range of motion. The strength side takes us into Vashisthasana variations, as well as seated side bending for length. Working in two rounds you'll feel energised and taller (maybe!) after this class.

This is a short and sweet flow, especially designed for people who sit for a good part of the day. Lots of shoulder openers, upper back strengtheners and hip flexor mobility combined in a flow that stays close to the ground. Perfect after a long day at the office or even after a run or cycle session.

Feeling the power we have in our feet and connecting that to our core stability, this class works with a repeated sequence so that we can integrate strength. Using mostly standing poses, this flow is great for building energy and heat in the body and gives the muscles a good challenge to keep us stable.

This class will challenge you to pay attention to how you transition from one shape to the next and find ways to get all the muscles working together.  Letting go of isolation and activating connection, this repeated slow flow will power up parts that you didn't know you had. A strong class but you'll find ease in the end!

5 minutes of movement, 5 minutes of pranayama and 5 minutes of meditation.  A quick class to give a little of everything when you're short on time.  An easy movement sequence leads right into a guided Ujjayi breath, adding a pause.  We finish with a guided Somatic meditation.  Have any cushions or props you need for sitting comfortably and know that you can fit all this in a short time for those days when you feel you don't have any!

Focusing on using the strength in the hips to find movement and stability, this is a repetitive sequence that travels from sitting to standing and back again. We'll move on and off the mat with some rolling and change of direction that you've come to expect from any class with Julie Martin!

A movement experience where Julie and David join forces in exploration, integrity, stability and adaptability. David begins with some ‘gentle’ rolling around to open the joints. Then Julie’s Spiral Dancer / Running Man acts as the foundation for a fun flow that will have you moving up, down, forward and backwards and even crawling around! We will finish with some shoulder rolling before relaxing. Be aware, this is the first time Julie and David have met and there are plenty of ‘getting to know you’ conversations along the way… plus, a subtle joke competition too!

Slow down and find some ease in this gentle, spiral flow. Julie will spend more time feeling through the shapes so we keep it simple and allow ourselves to really feel what is happening in the body. Have a block or cushion ready for Viparita Karani (Legs up the wall pose) at the end.

Spending most of our time moving through a floor-based sequence working on rolling transitions, core and integrated strength and giving ourselves an internal massage! We'll move through 3 rounds of this sequence so that as we progress we can feel more and think less!

A strong class using our connection to the floor, via the hands and/or the feet to get integrated strength. Lots of pulsing and negotiating as per usual in Julie's classes. Designed to help you power up and face the day, or move into some strong arm balances afterward!

Moving with the momentum of the body, this flow takes us through standing and sitting poses, flipping and folding, waving and pulsing. Yes, that's right, another class with Julie Martin. No stretching, just range of motion and active integration! Enjoy the ride!

What else?! Julie loves rolling around on the floor and that's where we begin this sequence. It's progressive so we start off super easy and keep adding onto the sequence to end up in a strong standing spiral flow! Great for everyone.

Perfect for anyone working at a desk/computer, driving or spending lots of time sitting. Focusing on shoulder openers and upper back strengtheners to release tension and develop stability in the spine for a healthy posture.

A short flow class with Julie focused on releasing tightness and tension in the lower back and hips. Ideal for those who stand for work or sit all day. Accessible for all and we end with a nice restorative pose for deep relaxation. Also a great practice for break time or the end of the day.

Focusing on the strength that the muscle connection in the upper body supports the arm movements, Julie will take you through a flow that works both movement and stability. This class is suitable for all levels and you will learn skills that you can use in any practice.

A short class for those of you who spend lots of time on your feet during the day. We do some shoulder openers to relieve upper back tension and work with releasing the lower back and hamstrings. Perfect after a long day on your feet! Props: Two blocks, if you have them.

A fantastic continuous flow that uses the basis of my Spine feels alive class and goes even further. Less breakdown and talking (hard for Julie!) but beautiful flow with integrated strength and power. A delicious class for those of you who just want that moving meditation. Put on your favourite tunes and enjoy the ride!

Get that beautiful sense of 'aliveness' in the spine using Julie's techniques of waving and spiralling through front body openers and back strengtheners. The standing mini-flow at the end will connect you to your feet to find that strength in the pelvis to support the spine.

During this 20 minute tutorial Julie explains some of the science behind her work is focused on finding the power and pliability in the body. It's always about ensuring we make our practice functional and something we can use in our daily movement. For those who are newer to working with Julie, this helps you look at a few of those "strange" poses or movements and understand them with more clarity.

Slowing down to really feel through shapes and the options available. Julie usually works in rounds but this class is focused on spending more time in one long body massage. A short standing sequence at the end keeps the energy up but be prepared to fall in love with the space you create from the inside out!

A continuous flow that invigorates the whole body. Julie works in 3 rounds so that by the last one you feel more and think less. A few playful gorillas and opportunities for arm balances thrown in for fun. A dancer's delight.

A fast-paced and strong class which uses momentum to keep changing direction. Fans of Julie's work will definitely enjoy this shorter class which takes you through 3 rounds of the sequence, including roll-ups, gorillas and lots of pliability.

Revisiting the "flirting with Camels" sequence Julie adds a beautiful standing flow with cowboy lassoes and spirals to the floor. Put on some moving tunes and keep repeating this flow as many times as you like. You'll be dancing through the rest of your day!

Starting with a rolling flow and throwing out the mat, Julie guides you through the power of momentum to gain strength and stability. We start with a bit of rolling around on the floor in this class to initiate the momentum then combine our connection to core, through feet to find a full dynamic sequence. Moving through shapes instead of holding, this continuous flow is fun, challenging and full of "karate punches", windmills, peaceful cranes and kicking cranes!

Forward folds can be a challenge for many people, especially if you sit for long hours every day. The back of the body gets tight and weak at the same time. When we attempt forward bending we can put strain on the vertebrae or even on the tendons in the joints. But when we work with waving the spine, we create not only heat but an engaging and releasing action between the muscles in the front and the back of the spine so they work simultaneously. This also creates a massage-like action for the whole back line of the body, down through the hamstrings to the feet and up to the neck and the head. This way the connective tissue can release and find length, and at the same time, generate strength. In this forward bending based class, Julie will have you waving in and out of structures, finding length and power all at the same time.

Most modern asana practices work through a series of linear movements and shapes - forward bends, backbends and twists. However, the body is designed to move in a variety of directions, as you may notice in your everyday life. The muscles in your body spiral around the bones and the bones themselves have no straight lines. In this class Julie will take you through the dynamics of spiral actions in the spine, the arms and the legs and show you a different approach to moving in and out of asana. You’ll find new sensations in movements and hopefully a greater ease and freedom within your practice and your body.

Accompanied by the wonderful Barnaby Tree, this class is short, sweet, flowing, moving and fluid. We start standing and move through different ranges of motion. If you've got more time, just keep repeating the sequence until you feel the 'poses' are something you pass through, with awareness of sensation. Move and be moved.
