Meet Julee Yew-Crijins | Yoga Trainer
Julee has been practising Yoga for almost 25 years and has taught Yoga full time since 2007.
Guided by her mentor, noted by Yoga Journal as “one of the most influential and gifted yoga teachers of the next generation”, Julee has been invited to teach and facilitate on both his and other globally established teacher trainings. She has also taught workshops and programmes across the UK, Malaysia, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
“In this time, I have witnessed the industry change, how the range of students has changed, how classes have changed, how we market yoga has changed, and even how we dress for yoga has changed! I am grateful to be a part of this practice, this community and this job. It is an absolute joy through the ups and downs.
It has shaped me, provided for me, given me roots to grow…
It has pulled me into a lighter, brighter side of life, supported me out of chronic pain, and kept me healthy; essentially, it has sustained the vitality of my body, mind and spirit.”
“I have never been drawn to offer the full programme myself because I knew that when the time was right, it will call to me. Instead I started a Vinyasa Training & Mentoring programme, that I have loved facilitating.
This year, I started to feel the seed sprout to start a 200 hour programme and I intended to take it slow but the universe had other plans for this, so here we are! I am excited about this push and feel ready now to go the full mile.
This teacher training programme will draw from the strengths of many schools to bring to you a training that will pave the way for you to become a versatile and confident yoga teacher.
At the base of everything is Hatha Yoga. The literal translation of ‘hatha’ means ‘with force’, so it literally translates to attaining yoga through any physical practice. For the purpose of this training, I will use Hatha Yoga to mean the umbrella of all yoga practices.
At the heart of this training is Vinyasa Yoga. It is a tradition that I have embraced, lived and breathed for the past 24 years. This tradition has grown into one of, if not the biggest style of yoga practiced today. Its popularity lies in its freedom to be whatever it wants to be, but it comes at the expense of being a tradition that is not straightforward to study, which is in itself the beauty of it all.”
