about Julia

Julia McSheffery C-IAYT, E-RYT500, YACEP

Combining a strong understanding of the body’s structure and systems as well as offering extensive experience  and skill in yoga and its therapeutic potential, Julia provides her  students the opportunity to easily understand and incorporate yoga  practices into their lives in a meaningful way.  Originally interested  in yoga as a means 

of recouping some of the flexibility she lost because  of sport rock climbing, Julia quickly realized the benefits of yoga and  its healing of injury and illness in her own life.   In addition to being  educated in exercise science, Julia is certified as a yoga therapist 

(C-IAYT) by  the International Association of Yoga Therapists, E-RYT500 and certified vinyasa yoga teacher. Each year Julia continues her education in yoga therapy retreat trainings  with Doug Keller, doyoga.com. In addition to these certifications, Julia  is also thankful for her  training with David Swenson, Shiva Rea, Donna  Farhi, Amy Weintraub, Elise Browning Miller, Judith Lasater, Todd Norian and Ann Greene, Tom  Myers, SS Synth., and Ganga White and Tracy Rich of the White Lotus Foundation. Her experience includes teaching all levels of yoga in a variety  of styles throughout the greater Columbus area, leading yoga therapy and yoga teacher trainings at the 200-hr and 500-hr levels and mentoring students enrolled in YTT. She currently teaches classes at facilities throughout the city. She is also a registered continuing education provider with Yoga Alliance.
