Justine’s journey into yoga began over 10 years ago in her first year of college at UCSB, where she received degrees in Global Studies and Education and a 200hr RYT Yoga Works certification. After college, she began a career as an elementary school teacher, leading programs to bring Yoga and meditation to kids and teens. Two years ago, after a back injury she felt herself waking up to her Highest Self. She was drawn more and more towards making Yoga a bigger part of her life. Through months o a physical therapy and a personal study of body mechanics she became very aware of the balancing and strengthening benefits of Pilates partnered with the freedom and spirituality of Yoga. Through her own healing, she has discovered great fulfillment and joy through helping others heal both spiritually and physically. Justine’s goal for her students is injury prevention, body awareness, and self-love
