Julie teaches according to what she has learned (and continues to learn!) in her alliance with David Life and Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti Yoga, always using their creative teachings as her source of inspiration. Julie teaches a class, “that she would like to take herself.” As a close friend in my extended yoga family, Julie is taking on the challenge of teaching the Level I Basics Class on Mondays at 10-1130 based on the Basic Class format of Jivamukti Yoga. tel: 845 679-3482

SUB FOR THE SUBS
JOE BARTUSIS has been teaching yoga since 2003 when he became a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. At that time he also began practicing Iyengar Yoga with Barbara. As his interest in Iyengar Yoga increased he began to take workshops and regular classes at the Iyengar Institute in New York City with Kevin Gardiner. This training and his continued practice led Joe to begin teaching Iyengar Yoga and to join Joan White’s Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training Program in Philadelphia in 2006. In 2008 Joe met Christian Pisano, a Senior Iyengar Teacher from Nice, France. He has taken a two week intensive with him in France, brought him to Woodstock in 2009 for the Winter Woodstock Yoga Intensive and has developed a sense of awe of what can be done and where we could go with yoga. Joe will be subbing for Jessica on some of the Friday Level II-III classes.
