• Learn how to write your own effective scripts for guided experiences and recognize common mistakes and pitfalls.
  

"The deep relaxation and guided imagery experiences were all very powerful.   I feel students want and desperately need this aspect of yoga.  I feel very inspired to use what I leaned in my yoga classes.  Julie has a wonderfully relaxed and soothing voice and down-to-earth and friendly approach to her teaching.   I leaned a lot and had fun doing it."                                                                                                                               -Yoga Teacher, Ottawa, Canada   "I gained clarification of different relaxation, meditation, guided imagery and yoga nidra techniques.
