Julia L
SHE / HER
Julia L is a yogi, DJ, and the founder of Madhura Studios. Her mission is to hold safe, loving space for people to have nourishing, embodied experiences. Whether she is leading a yoga class or DJing a dance music set, she has the same goal in mind: to help you feel alive and well in your body and spirit, also known as getting you dropped in.
Julia is proudly in recovery from substance addiction, and credits yoga as a major force for positive change and meaningful wellbeing in her life. With students she seeks to share yogic practices, ideas, and techniques that affirm each individual’s sense of wholeness and which honor yoga’s aim of offering liberation from suffering.
Her manner of teaching yoga is welcoming and compassionate, and seeks to make the idea of “practicing yoga” a truly approachable one.
Julia began practicing yoga with her mother in 2011; earned her 200 hr teacher certification from Blue Osa in 2016; has completed hundreds of hours of additional training with Prema Yoga Institute including in Ayurveda and Therapeutic Essentials; is certified to teach Yoga Nidra through Soul & Steady; and has been deeply influenced by her personal mentorship with Umayoga. She also lovingly brings her studies in Sound Therapy and Sonic Embodiment with Jessica Caplan to her practice.
She considers herself a student in the Tantric yoga lineage.
Julia has two sweet cats and is based between Brooklyn and Rockaways, NY.
