Testimonials from Children and Adults Alike...
"I strongly recommend Julie and the Sprouting Wings: Yoga For Kids program to all children’s librarians. It is due to Julie’s professionalism that this program is such a phenomenon. Her yoga expertise, combined with her patience and child-friendly classroom style, produce a great atmosphere for relaxation. She conveys confidence in her techniques and generosity of spirit in communicating with both the youngest children and the pre-adolescents."
Barbara Buckley, Head of Children's Services at the Oceanside Library
"When Julie comes into the library, children will run up to her and say hello. She is the type of instructor who is a natural magnet to children. Her smile, energy, encouragement and love for children is what is making these programs so popular and well attended."
Constance Smith, Head of Children's Services at the Massapequa Bar Harbor Library
"I take a great delight in Julie's passion for yoga and warm charm. She has a great way about her and have most certainly chosen the right career path. One of the great qualities of a good teacher is one who is willing to open and share themselves with their students. She brings people closer to her by sharing little tidbits about herself, the things that make her smile. I've had many different yoga instructors over the past year, and have seen many different styles. I think one of her strengths is that she is not afraid to reach out and touch people. Julie communicates tranquility. What a wonderful gift to give people! ~Cynthia, yoga student~
As a Muslim Buddhist, Julie has introduced me to a more spiritual form of Yoga than I am accustomed to with other instructors. Through her practice I have become more aware of my body's form and movement. I used to practice yoga, merely for physical reasons, but now I have found spiritual healing and zen."

I wanted to let you know how great the class was and how much I enjoyed it - I felt so relaxed. You were right about saying that breathing helps you do poses.

I just want to tell you that yesterdays class really helped me and made me feel good. I had a test today that I was really nervous for, and I think I aced it because of the yoga.

"I have been practicing adult yoga with Julie for almost two years. Her gentle and encouraging nature has taught me to challenge myself physically as well as to acknowledge and appreciate my inner self. Yoga has allowed me a time to let go of everything and connect with my spirit and the universe. Inspired by Julie's enthusiasm it continues to be most rewarding experience and I highly recommend her class."
