WELCOME JULIE PEOPLES-CLARK, RYT!

Julie is certified in the Yoga for the Special Child™ and a Registered Svadhyaya Yoga Teacher with the National Yoga Alliance. She is a former professional modern dancer and teacher of professional and college level modern dance. She stopped dancing 6 years ago when her daughter Ella was born with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. Julie's search to help Ella led her to Sonia Sumar and the Yoga for the Special Child™ training program where she learned techniques to help Ella as well as beginning her personal practice of health and healing through yoga.

"The most profound message that I learned from my yoga practice was in order for me to care for Ella I had to care for myself. I find joy each day and I marvel at my incredible daughter and all she has overcome."

After two years of traveling the world volunteering with children with brain injuries and exploring many different healing options, Julie, her husband Dave and Ella moved to Vermont.

Julie is currently enrolled in a 500-hour certification program with the Silver Lotus Institute in Rehoboth Beach, DE, and she dances, teaches and performs in the Burlington area.
