All Classes & Retreats | Julie Lusk | Yoga | Relaxation | Mindfulness | Creative Fun


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.

SoulCollage ® is a refreshing way to spark your creativity, playfulness and spirited self by making small collages using an engaging process. No artistic abilities needed.

Julie Lusk, M.Ed., CYT, E-RYT-500, has over 40 years experience. She is certified to teach a variety of styles ranging from gentle to vigorous yoga.  Julie is the author of six books and numerous recordings on guided visualization and yoga. See more qualifications here.

Sleep Well ~ Yoga Nidra

Why struggle to get to sleep or stay asleep at night when you can sleep well with yoga nidra?  Sleep is vital to our health and sleep experts tell us we need an average of eight hours at a shot.  Even if there’s time for sleep, many of us have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, interfering with good health and causing frustration.

Find the help you’ve been waiting for in these articles:

  • Sleep Solutions: Yoga-Style talks about the best yoga postures and breathing techniques for a good night’s sleep.
  • Yoga Nidra and Sleep explains what yoga nidra is and why it’s more restful than regular sleep.
  • Not Sleeping Soundly?  Here’s help for those nights when you feel you’re half awake and half asleep.

Listen to this specialized yoga nidra practice especially made for going to sleep (CD or digital download).  It’s from Julie’s new book, Yoga Nidra Meditations: 24 Scripts for True Relaxation

Clear the deck for a good nights sleep by releasing physical, mental and emotional tension.  You’ll love waking up in the morning feeling refreshed.

Enjoy using relaxation skills, specialized breathing techniques, mindfulness, and more.  You’ll enjoy the soothing Native American style flute music followed by the calming sound of ocean waves, Mother Nature’s delightful lullaby.

  • “I never slept better.”
  • “I love the whole thing.”
  • “I fall asleep so easily, I haven’t made it through to the end yet.”

Desktop Yoga Workshop

Chair Yoga for the Workplace keeps employees alert and productive during the business day. 

Contact Julie Lusk by email for details and scheduling to book her for your Employee Training, Conference, Workshop, and Lunch and Learn sessions. 

Simple chair exercises can help prevent chronic problems such as lower back and neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other repetitive stress injuries.

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that yoga-based chair exercise and stretches are more effective in reducing carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms than using wrist splints or no treatment (Nov. 11, 1998).   Desktop Yoga ™ can also improve morale, productivity, attitudes and attendance.

As the creator and author of Desktop Yoga ™ (Penguin Group, 1998), Julie Lusk has designed ‘do it now ‘ exercises that can be done right at the workstation that are effective, portable and easy.

During a typical session, participants will:

  1. Learn to do self-care chair yoga stretches that can be done at their own desk.  Specific stretches are done for the neck, shoulders, wrists, face, back and legs.  Sequences are also available to increase energy, improve creativity or to reduce frustration.
  2. Take a “2- hour nap in 2-minutes”.
  3. Receive a brief review on the importance of proper ergonomics.

The Business Courier featured the value of Desktop Yoga in the article “Training the Body to Coast can help with Relaxation.” (pdf)

One of the most effective ways of letting go of work stress before you get home is by taking care of it as it arises, said Julie Lusk, author of “Desktop Yoga ®.” Lusk, president of Wholesome Resources, a stress-management company in Milford, teaches people how to do stretches, breathing and relaxation techniques right at their desks to relieve tension and get on with the day.  See this article.

Don Kemper
President, Healthwise, Inc

“Julie Lusk has a unique style of presentation that seems to peer inside each member of her audience.  Her wellness workshops in yoga, relaxation, and stress management include an extra dimension that leaves an imprint of peace and mindfulness on each participant.

♥ Plan A …. 5 Yoga Nidra Relaxation – Audio Classes

  1. Heartfelt Yoga Nidra Meditation | Feel relaxed and balanced by gently moving your awareness throughout your body. Sohum breathing is used as a mantra. Calm your mind and emotions with inner eye gazing (chidakasha). Awaken your intuition and inner guidance with guided imagery. Enjoy ample time to dwell in the peaceful presence of Yoga Nidra. A heartfelt pledge (sankalpa) is used to support enduring change.
  2. Tender Time Yoga Nidra | Relieve physical tension with a light progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercise. Balance energy and awareness with the booster breath that adds a pause and an extra boost after inhaling and exhaling. Mindfulness and guided imagination easily leads you into feeling peaceful and spacious. Intuition and unconditional joy often result. A heartfelt pledge (sankalpa) is used.
  3. Yoga Nidra for Restoring & Enhancing Health & Wellbeing | Generate deep calmness and enhance immunity and cell renewal using autogenic training with a special healing breath.  Experience health-enhancing intuitive guidance for insights. Enjoy guided imagination for remembering wellness to enhance health.
  4. Drop into Yoga Nidra Quickly | Relax completely by lifting and dropping portions of the body, a good substitute for anyone with contraindications for tensing muscles (PMR).  Rinse away tension with an imaginary waterway. Intuition comes alive when an imagined animal appears to give and receive messages. Peace and joy are sprinkled down for absorption.
  5. Yoga Nidra Heart Connections | Experience an amazing Yoga Nidra journey through all the dimensions of the heart starting with the physical organ itself to the heartbeat of lifeforce energy. The windows of the emotional heart are acknowledged and wiped clean to reveal the clarity of ones’ knowing heart and and the spiritual heart connection to ones’ path with a capital P.  Live harp music is played throughout.
