Movement in the main joints and their influence throughout

Service OfferingsSchedule Group or 1:1 Sessions

"Yoga therapy is a personalized practice that leverages the principles of yoga to support individuals in enhancing their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It emphasizes tuning into the body's subtle signals—such as 'yellow lights,' 'whispers,' to prevent the body 'screaming'—to identify areas needing attention. By focusing on granular movement and simple movements, yoga therapy enhances proprioception (awareness of body position and movement) and interoception (awareness of internal sensations). The practice also incorporates elements of the polyvagal theory, helping individuals regulate their nervous system responses and cultivate a sense of safety and calm. Additionally, it involves learning to improve neuromuscular patterning in the major joints, which helps preserve the health and function of the peripheral joints. This mindful exploration fosters a deeper understanding of how the body moves and feels, promoting a harmonious connection between body and mind. This approach supports relaxation, balance, and overall well-being, facilitating natural healing and personal growth."

  • Yogi love......

    Post Op-inguinal hernia, I suffered from severe neck pain and caused me to lose 6 nights of sleep.

    I contacted Julie, she gave me 5 exercises,which took about 15 minutes to perform twice per day. The relief was dramatic even after the first session. By day 3, I was pain free full range of motion and sleeping comfortably.

  • Julie is a very passionate yogi; she underestands and practices with her heart and soul.

    I had my first yoga class with her on November 23, 2007 in Langley and her manner in teaching and encouragement kept me coming back to practice.

    Namaste

  • When Julie Cook First convinced me to try Yoga Therapy, I thought it was a gimmick. Even during her instruction, I couldn't connect how the small movements were going to make any difference. But even after the initial class, I stood differently. Posture was better, major improvement in hip and shoulder pain. Julie cook is the reason I don't live with that pain anymore. EMYT(Julie Cook) is an absolute legend in our community!

  • Julie is a caring and professional yoga therapist.  I didn't realize the benefits of yoga therapy until I began attending her enjoyable group classes and some one-one sessions.  She has helped me identify ways of improving posture and body alignment to reduce joint pain.

  • As a very beginner at practicing yoga Julie has provided the safe space to learn and grow. Julie has the rare gift of connecting with people of all ages and stages of skill with her vast and unique inter- disciplinary knowledge and experiences. Julie isn’t afraid to be real and practice with her students which brings a sense of authenticity and compassion into her small and humble studio. I look forward to re-building my strength and flexibility with Julie following a chronic illness diagnosis that has limited my ability to “move with ease”. I highly recommend Julie’s style of yoga therapy for anyone wanting to return to the body as the container of wisdom.

  • I first joined Julie's Bikram Yoga Classes and fell in love with her enthusiasm and joy for Yoga practice. Soon, she offered a yoga therapy class and I wholeheartedly jumped in. I find that yoga therapy is very very specific and it is exactly what I needed to identify the feelings I had every day in my hips and other parts of my body. With that new found information and sensations, I was able to continually work on the issues developed over many year in my body. It's a process! Thank you, Julie, for all your wise and knowledgable instruction.
