Julia Paik

Julian has been teaching in NYC and the Hudson Valley since 2003. His yoga alliance certified trainings include Yogaworks in Los Angeles, the Bay area, and New York. As well, he has had a 2-year stint living in India, where he was mentored by several internationally renowned teachers including Bharath Shetty, Sharath Jois, Ajay Kumar and Venkatesh. His classes are not of a specific style, but rather they incorporate a combination of all of his influences: Hatha, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Powerflow, Yin and Gentle Yoga. In recent years, he has emphasized the importance of meditation (both guided and self), and one of the things he is most grateful for is teaching the yoga practice to beginners.

He teaches a playful, uplifting and heat-building class with much attention to alignment and dharana (concentration).
