Julia Ferguson
My name is Julia Ferguson and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500) with Yoga Alliance. I completed my 200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa and Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training in Portugal at Bend it like Buddha. I also completed my 300-hour Ashtanga and Hatha Advanced Yoga Teacher Trainning in Bali at World Peace Yoga School. Some of the courses I took include pranayama, meditation, adjustments and alignment, anatomy, and teaching methods. I learned many different breathing and mindfulness techniques, appropriate use of props, how and when to cue students, and how to sequence yoga flows. I also received an 8-hour Ayurveda Massage Training. In 2019, I furthered my education by completing a 30-hour online Yoga Nidra training through ShivaShakti School of Yoga. I have since completed my 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training (2022 & 2026-in-person in Bali) through Sampoorna Yoga and World Peace Yoga School and my 85-hour Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga teacher training (2024) through Awakened Spirit Yoga.
Experience
My yoga teaching career started out when I taught vinyasa yoga classes at SUNY Oneonta through the Intramurals Department from 2017 through 2019.
I held donation-based vinyasa yoga classes in Sunset Park in Port Washington, New York during the summer of 2019.
I also worked at Om Sweet Om Yoga Studio in Port Washington, New York. I have worked there since 2020 and our studio sadly had to close its doors on April 20, 2022 due to financial hardships brought on by the pandemic.
During the height of the pandemic, I offered free yoga classes through Instagram Live.
I am currently teaching yoga at Happy Buddha Yoga in Goshen, New York, Cedar Lakes Estate, and I am also teaching goat yoga in the Hudson Valley.
I have multiple private clients who receive individualized instruction and uniquely curated classes both in-person and virtually.
