Yoga & Mindfulness classes, retreats & workshops with Julie Lusk provide the perfect way to get exercise, gain
flexibility, add strength, and relieve stress. Focus is on opening, balancing and strengthening the body/mind/spirit connection through yoga and meditation. Mindful stretching, focused breathing and yoga nidra (guided relaxation) are combined to create a relaxed, secure atmosphere that is contemplative, challenging and fun. Alignment is emphasized to feel steady, supple and strong.

Yoga Nidra Relaxation is a soothing meditation done lying down. It relieves stress, increases heart health and immunity, and offers inner peace and balance. One hour of practice equals 4 hours of sleep. Julie is the author of both Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief and Yoga Nidra Meditations: 24 Scripts for Total Relaxation, and numerous relaxing and refreshing CDs.
