Julie Stone
About Us
Founder & Owner
Julie is the founder and owner of Purple Lotus Yoga LLC. Julie is a 500 hr CYT private and group yoga teacher. Through Julie’s extensive training, continuing education, and self-practice she has come to the belief that slow, mindful practice that focuses on calming and resetting the mind and body is exactly what our society needs. We are under continual emotional and physical stress and we deserve a place to let go of the outside world, clear our minds and just be. When you come into the studio to take a class or have a one-on-one session you will be nourishing and honoring your body where it is at that time.
Kira
Certified Yoga Teacher & Certified Inner Wisdom Yoga Therapy
Kira is a 200 hr CYT and a Certified Inner Wisdom Yoga Therapy practitioner. Kira came to yoga at one of the most stressful times in her life. She and her husband were struggling to conceive and yoga changed their lives. Through a devoted asana practice and Inner Wisdom Yoga Therapy with Jennifer Langsdale, she was able to heal her body, mind, and spirit. Yoga helped Kira fill in the gaps that modern medicine couldn’t, and now, she is a proud momma of two beautiful little girls!
Experiencing the power of yoga and yoga therapy firsthand motivated her to teach and help others experience the benefits of yoga on whatever journey they are on. Yoga is truly Kira’s passion and life’s calling and when you come into one of her classes you can expect a welcoming, comfortable and body-positive environment where you will be nurtured, supported, and motivated.
You will feel the passion within her as she teaches each class from the heart, sending loving and positive energy to all as they engage in their practice.
Jen
Certified Yoga Teacher & Licensed Massage Therapist
Jen is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. She began her health and wellness journey as a yoga student and then as an instructor over a decade ago. Jen enjoys teaching yoga that is geared towards all levels and every body. Her slower paced classes give the students an opportunity to feel each posture and allows them to utilize their breath to settle into the posture and then transition to the next.
In addition to teaching yoga, Jen is a licensed massage therapist.
“I fell in love with massage because, like yoga, it provides peace and balance to both the body and the mind.”
Debora
Certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher
I was introduced to yoga at a young age and for a long time we were casual acquaintances. It wasn’t until I was in the midst of loss, sadness and physical pain that I came to realize yoga would be a trusted friend, confidant, and life- long companion. At first it was an exercise to ease my injuries. Then breath to lessen my stress. Over time, energy to heal and transform me. Ancient teachings to guide me. Mantras. Kirtan. Practice. Teacher training.
Through practice and training I realize it is about holding space. Holding space with the heart of compassion, without judgement or attachment. For myself and others. On and off the mat.
I am honored to be a 300-hour certified yoga teacher.
Other areas of training in meditation, plant and herbal studies, flower essences, aromatherapy, energy work and wellness enhance my practice and ability to assist others.
My “come as you are” approach allows others to walk their path and develop an empowering personal practice.
