Bio:
Justine has been breathing yoga since 1998. Her background as a dancer, gymnast, and teacher imbue her classes with a strong sense of presence, balance, and feeling. Justine's classes are safe, yet physically challenging and spiritually cleansing.
Justine has studied various forms of Hatha yoga with Master teachers, and is grateful to them for giving her the seed from which her own personal teaching style has grown. In 2001, while
living in Santa Monica, CA, she began studying Forrest Yoga with her mentor teacher
Heather Onori. During her time in
California and at the Forrest Yoga Circle, Justine had the honour to study
directly with Ana Forrest and other senior teachers including Jonathan Bowra,
Julian Walker, and Stephanie Snyder.
In 2005, she
completed both a yearlong teacher training with Robert Boustany in Houston, TX
and Forrest Yoga Teacher Training with Ana Forrest in Berkeley, CA. She has also assisted Ana Forrest at
intensive workshops in Texas and California. In June 2007, Justine spent a month studying a gentle and
internal form of Hatha yoga with Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten in
Eftalou, Greece. In 2009 the
Houston Chronicle featured Justine in an article about Forrest yoga and her
unique teaching style.
Justine also consults with a physical therapist to ensure
that she can safely meet the needs of all her students and their various
injuries. She has worked with
a wide variety of students including artists, athletes, at-risk youth (through the Jung Center of Houston's Community Outreach Program), med center professors, musicians, and her 66-year old father
(yes, he can do a handstand!) Her
students and friends in the global yoga community are a continual source of
inspiration for the evolution of her personal practice and teaching.
Currently, when not on her mat, Justine can be found studying
for the Texas Bar Exam. Justine
has a Juris Doctorate and a Masters in Public Health; she is committed to
public health and disease prevention on the population and individual levels
through her academic career, yoga practice and teaching.
