Juli Eckmeier
Studio Front Desk Manager | Yoga Instructor
E-RYT500, YACEP, PRYT
Juli believes that if you can breathe, you can do yoga. As both a Teacher and the Studio’s Desk Manager, she’s often the first friendly face you’ll see when you arrive. She specializes in making yoga accessible to all—beginners, children, seniors, and those with special needs.
A practitioner since her teens, Juli’s journey supported her through pregnancy, motherhood, and recovery from a 2021 car accident that reshaped her approach toward the body’s innate strength and nervous system regulation. Her classes blend movement, art, and music, guiding students toward resilience—not just flexibility.
Currently studying Yoga Therapy, Juli is certified in prenatal, children’s, and chair yoga, with advanced training in trauma-informed care, grief, and S.A.F.E. yoga for conditions like osteoporosis, scoliosis, and hypermobility. When she’s not teaching, she’s at the front desk helping you feel at home in the studio.
