Michael Arloski, Ph.D.,
Corporate Trainer, Professional Coach, Bellevue, Colorado

”In the professions of health care, wellness, training and public speaking we are all looking for an individual who combines professional qualities with personal characteristics in a genuine way.  Julie Lusk is such a person and professional.  Her message is received by others with  openness because her very being fosters trust, love and respect.  In creating a team of presenters for an impactful training for professionals, Julie Lusk would be one of my top five choices in the nation.”

Marianella Machado
College professor and composer

Julie, I would like you to know that your books, CD’s and handy-tips-to-use from the Wholesome Resources Newsletter have been extremely helpful to me.  Since I have no time to attend yoga sessions at the yoga schools in Kentucky, your books, Desktop Yoga and Yoga Meditations have been my only way to practice yoga.  I enjoy doing your yoga exercises because you present and explain them in a very clear and easy way to follow.

Your CD’s have also been very helpful to me. For example, Power of Presence CD has been a great way to control my physical stress as well as to enhance my meditation techniques.

Moreover, all of your handy-tips to use from the Wholesome Resources Newsletter are helping me to maintain an organized plan for improving my physical and mental health, because they make me focus my attention on what I need to do to feel better. I am looking forward to your new Mind-Body Wellness eBookCollection.

I am extremely grateful to you for your wisdom, knowledge, and kindness.  You certainly are a very gifted spiritual person. May God continue blessing  you with many more gifts.

Christopher Baxter, Architect, Yoga Trainer, Wellness Educator
Founding director, AtmaYoga Educational Services and Whole Human Wellness

If you, like so many of us, are faced with enormous challenges at this time, the necessity of a self-care approach to wellness is obvious. Your time invested in reading, reflecting on, and practicing the practical methods Julie provides will bring enormous relief, inspiration and renewed strength to your entire life and all those who are in your life.

As a yoga teacher and wellness educator for over 30 years, I can say with confidence that the up-to-date information and practices Julie has presented presented in her Mind-Body Wellness Collection are of the highest caliber. As a highly qualified expert in wellness, she has assembled a terrific collection and created a brilliant synthesis of their complimentary aspects.  Any one of them, taken alone, will bring lasting benefits. Having them arranged in such a well organized system synergistically increases their transformational impact.

This is a powerful body of work.

→ Mike Sterling, Director of Human Resources
The Art Institute of Ohio writes
:

Dear Julie:  Thanks for sharing the DARE to Relax session with our staff.  I have received several positive comments about it, especially the “2- Hour Nap in 10-minutes” segment.

Our staff received several valuable tips on reducing stress and the consequences of stress at work and in our personal lives.  It was definitely time well spent.

→ Marianne Lang
Julie’s classes are a combination of challenge, relaxation and physical fine-tuning that are dramatically changing my life for the better.

→ Belleruth Naparstek Creator -Health Journeys guided imagery

Variety is the spice of life….and meditation, October 19, Milwaukee, WI

Yoga Meditations by Julie Lusk is a gem of a book – chock full of inspirational meditations for beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners. The variety here is nice   – everything from breathing meditations to chakra meditations. You don’t have to be a yoga student to utilize these as they are appropriate for anyone. As a yoga instructor, this book helps to bring more diversity to the meditations at the end of our classes. My students have been really enjoying them.

This book comes with a CD, which features some of the meditations in the book. It is a nice bonus.

Wonderful resource!, June 5, 2008

By Kathy Bingham (Los Angeles, California) –

Yoga Meditations is a wonderful book! I teach yoga and stress management at the college level and I use this book in both classes multiple times during the semester. The author Julie Lusk takes concepts that we as teachers study for years to understand (like the subtle anatomy or differing forms of meditation) and she explains them in a clear, concise and logical manner without oversimplifying them, but making the ideas accessible to teachers and students alike. She has invited other respected experts in mind-body techniques to contribute to the many guided exercises offered and the book also serves as a great resource guide.

I’d give Desktop Yoga 6+ stars if I could!, October 23

Mandatory for office workers, July 23, 2003

Reviewer: A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) –

I think this book should be in every office drawer, especially for those of us who sit at computers all day long. This book really does what the title says, you can perform many yoga poses in your office no matter what you’re wearing. This short book covers breathing techniques, proper posture, quick yoga poses that can be done anywhere at any time. If you’re always feeling tired and stiff at work, pick up this book and try a few of the suggestions. I take a 10 minute “yoga time out” every hour and I find that I’m less sluggish and less stressed.

Desktop Yoga  is a God-send,
This is a wonderful resource that helps me get through every day at work. My headaches and neck aches are better since I started using the yoga stretches and breathing techniques. It has taught me how to powernap for relief  from feeling exhausted, and has given me lots of tips on how to cope with change, handle stress, and enjoy life more. A lot of helpful information is packed into the useful book. Thank you very much.
