Hi, I'm Julie G!

I help busy people build better balance and boundaries through Ayurvedic yoga and self-care.

Ayurveda will change your life. 

Since becoming a parent, I've been in search of the perfectly balanced schedule where work, self-care and raising kids could all live in harmony. Without the stress. Without the guilt I should be doing something else. Without the self-judgment of not being enough.

​

It wasn't until I learned about Ayurveda (yoga's sister science) that I FINALLY tapped into the fountain of wellness I had been looking for all of my life. Until that point, the dozens and dozens of exercise and wellness routines and ways to live well based on expert advice weren't exactly working for me. I FINALLY realized that WE ARE THE EXPERTS of our own lives. It's why I love Ayurveda so much. Ayurveda is a completely customized approach to well-being based on your unique mind-body constitution (called your dosha).

 

There are almost 8 billion people on this planet, and each one of us needs something slightly different when it comes to wellness based on our dosha (our imbalance), age, the season of the year and the hour of the day. 

​

As someone who struggled with and recovered from an eating disorder 20 years ago, who used to jam-pack my schedule full of to-dos just to kept me busy and feeling productive and who used to strive for perfection instead of embracing who I truly was, I FINALLY loosened the grip of my people-pleasing personality.

 

With Ayurveda, I found a kinder way to live my life, created a schedule that brought my family and I joy and built the boundaries I desperately needed to protect my time and energy.

 

Today, I'm an award-winning author of 108 Yoga and Self-Care Practices for Busy Mamas and How to Stay Calm in Chaos: An Everyday Self-Care Guide, 500-hour certified and registered yoga teacher (RYT 500), Ayurvedic yoga specialist and self-care speaker.

​

I want to help you learn the life-changing Ayurvedic yoga and self-care tips that helped me go from stressed to balanced with lifestyle routines inspired by Ayurveda. ​There's so much more I want to share with you!
