ABOUT JULES
I never set out to become a teacher trainer.
I simply wanted to become a better teacher.
When I first began teaching yoga, I thought the goal was to know more - to memorize better sequences, deliver better cues, and learn every variation I could.
Over time, something shifted.
I realized the teachers who left the deepest impact weren't necessarily the ones with the most knowledge. They were the ones who knew how to truly see the people in front of them.
That realization changed not only the way I teach, but the work I feel called to do today.
The path wasn't linear.
I didn't arrive here through a perfect plan.
My journey has taken me across countries, through different careers, into studio ownership, teacher trainings, photography, writing, and countless conversations with students.
Along the way, I've experienced success, disappointment, uncertainty, burnout, healing, and growth.
Every chapter changed the way I understand teaching. I stopped believing that great teachers are defined by how much they know.
Instead, I became interested in how they think.
How they observe. How they communicate.
How they create spaces where people feel safe enough to learn.
That became the foundation of everything I teach today.
What continues to shape my teaching
Curiosity
I believe good teachers continue learning long after certification.
Observation
Teaching begins by paying attention before offering solutions.
Communication
Clear language creates confident students.
Discernment
Knowing when not to intervene is just as important as knowing when to act.
Presence
People remember how they felt more than what they heard.
Humility
Every student continues teaching me something.

Beyond the yoga studio
Teaching is only one expression of who I am.
I also write, photograph, mentor, and continue studying the ways people learn, heal, and connect with one another.
Those interests continually influence the way I teach.
They remind me that education isn't confined to a classroom.
It's something we practice every day through curiosity, conversation, and paying attention.
