Corporate Yoga with Ju

“Julie led an early morning workshop as part of the wellbeing offering at our national manager's conference. Julie tailored the session to suit the time of day, atmosphere of the event and the people in the group and delivered a gentle, calming and reflective session to start our day. Julie was easy to get in touch with, friendly, accommodating and offered flexibility to meet our needs. I would definitely recommend her for similar events in the future.”

“Julie takes the time to understand the business and the people within it, to ensure she delivers a session that suits our needs. It happens once a month on our meeting day as an optional event for staff and is well attended. The Senior Leadership Team hear how the team feel refreshed and ready for the next half of the day after each session with Julie. EMA team members that take part feel DruWithJu Yoga reduces their stress levels and improves their physical health. It brings the team together, enhancing team morale and team bonding — we feel it aligns well with our values and promotes a positive work culture.”

“At our residential care home Julie has provided the residents with a yoga session and a seated exercise class, both are highly recommended. The yoga had low impact routines with stretching and gentle movements helping with stiffness in the joints — the mindfulness and breathing exercises relaxed the residents so much one quoted "I nearly fell asleep at the end." Both sessions were well attended and received positive comments on how well they felt after. Julie was very kind and understood the needs of the elderly. I would highly recommend her, and so would the residents.”

“It was a little piece of tranquillity and balance in place of a busy Wednesday afternoon — we all LOVED it! Well-being and mindfulness are key for any busy business and your sessions helped me to create an agenda for staff to escape, relax and have time to breathe. Last Wednesday gave evidence that I take the College's well-being ethos seriously, and value my staff and the work that they do. It was a great opportunity to give my thanks to them, and let's hope the impact will be more mindful and resilient staff. Thank you Julie and hope our paths cross again.”

“Julie led a ‘Chair-based Movement’ demonstration with our ladies at the West Hallam and District WI earlier this month. The introduction about the importance of moving, keeping mobile, strength and balance clearly resonated with our members, and we eagerly joined in with trying simple exercises. Without leaving our chairs, we could clearly see (and feel!) the impact that repeated practising of simple moves could have, and the difference made by adding a bit of resistance with bands. Julie put us all at her ease, and stressed the importance of knowing your own body limits, so everyone took part with their own needs in mind. The guided relaxation at the end was so calming, yet positively affirming, and we could tell from the questions and interest in further details, how much members had enjoyed the session. Thank you so much, Julie — I’m finding myself doing the toe and heel raisers almost without thinking now!”
