Julia Billington
What was your inspiration for becoming a yoga teacher?
Yoga was the only thing in my life that made me feel fully connected to who I was, it made me feel empowered and free. After 3 years of regular practice, I was in a job that made me miserable and my husband asked me, ‘forget about money, what makes you happy’, the first and only thing that came to my mind was ‘yoga’. So I became a teacher!
Your favourite yoga pose if you have one?
I have a favourite pose in every asana family, but if I had to choose (can I pick 2?? lol) ….. Handstand or Pincha Mayurasana & Parsva Vasisthasana (aka Wild Thing). You’ll see these ALL the time in my classes!
What do you enjoy most about teaching?
Creating unique and creative sequences and then seeing them come to life with a room full of synchronised yogis, high energy, flowing and breathing together. This is the ultimate feeling!

About julia:
Playful, warm, cheekily irreverent, and with generous heart; these phrases have all been used to describe Julia’s classes. (Someone once said it felt like sipping a coconut on a beach in Hawaii… they may have been taking it a smidge too far!) With a background as an actor and physical theatre performer, Julia is well versed in the power of movement to express, to help us connect, and ultimately to heal. Julia has over 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training behind her under the guidance of internationally renowned teachers including Shiva Rea, Maty Ezraty, Simon Park, and Noelle Connolly. Her classes are a smooth flowing Vinyasa meditation, with creative and safe sequencing, guiding the body to open and strengthen while your insides – heart, mind, & soul – are reinvigorated, refreshed, and reminded of the wonder that it is to be alive!
