Morning Flow
A gentle half hour to meet the day with a clear head
Rooted
wherever you are.
Live online yoga with Julia Giurleo. A considered practice that meets you in your own space, at whatever pace the day allows.
The Approach
Less striving,
more listening.
A practice does not deepen through force. It deepens through attention, through returning, through the willingness to meet your body honestly on any given day. Julia teaches with that patience in mind, offering precise guidance and generous room to breathe.
Inside the practice

Taught live, kept small, and built to travel with you. Here is what to expect before you ever roll out a mat.
Live
Taught in Real Time
Small groups on Zoom, so Julia can see you and respond while you move.

Morning Flow
- Length
- 30 minutes
- Level
- All levels
- You'll need
- A mat, and room to stand
- When
- Wednesdays · 7:00am ET
A short, unhurried sequence for the beginning of the day. We start seated, spend a few minutes on breath, and move through standing shapes at a pace that leaves room to think.
Nothing here is strenuous. The aim is to arrive at the rest of your morning already awake in your body rather than only in your head.
Half an hour is deliberate. It is short enough to keep, most days, which matters more than any single longer practice.
Live class
Foundations
- Length
- 60 minutes
- Level
- Beginner, and anyone rebuilding
- You'll need
- A mat, two blocks if you have them
- When
- Tuesdays · 12:00pm ET
Vinyasa taught from the ground up. We break the common shapes down to what they actually ask of the body, then put them back together slowly enough that the transitions make sense.
Expect to be told why, not just what. Poses are named as we go, alternatives are offered before they're needed, and there is no assumption that you already know the vocabulary.
Come to this one first if you are new, or if you have practised for years by copying the screen and would like to understand what you have been copying.
Live class
Slow & Restore
- Length
- 60 minutes
- Level
- All levels
- You'll need
- A bolster or firm cushion, blankets, blocks
- When
- Sundays · 5:00pm ET
Long, supported holds of five minutes or more in a shape, with enough props underneath you that the body has no reason to brace.
Very little of this class looks like effort. The work is in staying, and in letting the nervous system catch up with the fact that nothing is being asked of it.
Props matter more here than in the other classes. If you don't own a bolster, cushions and a folded blanket will do; I'll show the substitutions at the top of each session.
Live class
Strength & Flow
- Length
- 60 minutes
- Level
- Some practice behind you
- You'll need
- A mat and light weights, 5–10 lb
- When
- Thursdays · 6:00pm ET
Measured movement with light weights, built around holds and controlled repetitions rather than pace. The flow is familiar; the tempo is what makes it work.
Weights stay light on purpose. Strength that lasts comes from being able to repeat something well, and there is no version of this class that rewards rushing.
If you don't have dumbbells, two full water bottles are a reasonable stand-in for the first few weeks.

Private groups
Bring the class to you.
A class built around your group rather than a public schedule, with the pace, the length and the tone set by whoever is in the room.
Julia drives anywhere in New England to teach in person, or she can take the group online if you are further afield. Planning a wedding weekend? See bachelorette yoga.

What Guides the Practice.
Start where the body is today, not where it was last week.
Precision in the cue, generosity in the pace.
A practice does not deepen through force. It deepens through returning.
If you cannot breathe in the shape, the shape is not finished.
Strength and calm are not opposites. Most weeks they arrive together.
Rest is not the reward at the end. It is part of the work.
FAQs
Before you begin.
None at all. Every class is taught with options, and Julia talks through variations as she goes. If it is your first time, arrive a few minutes early and say hello so she knows to keep an eye on you.
Foundations is the natural place to begin, since it is built from the ground up. Morning Flow is gentle and short. If you already have a practice, Strength and Flow will ask more of you, while Slow and Restore offers something quieter.
A mat, comfortable clothing, water, and enough floor space to extend your arms in every direction. A laptop or tablet is far easier to follow than a phone. Blocks are useful, though two firm books will serve just as well.
Live, always. Every class is taught in real time so Julia can see you and respond in the moment. Nothing is prerecorded, and nothing is recorded afterwards either.
Nothing is lost. Each class keeps the same Zoom link every week, so the session you missed is there again seven days later. Classes are not recorded, so the practice is the live hour itself.
A private link arrives by email as soon as you book. Open it a few minutes before the hour. There is nothing to install on a laptop, and your camera can stay off if you would prefer.
Yes. A single class is $15 and commits you to nothing: no account, no subscription. Come along, see whether the pace and the teaching suit you, then decide at your leisure.
Yes, for groups. If you would like a class for family, friends, a team, a bachelorette or any other gathering, Julia will travel to you anywhere in New England, or teach the group online. Tell her about it on the private group yoga page, or read more about bachelorette yoga if you are planning a wedding weekend.
