| Testimonials and In the News "Justine
is one of the most talented, delightful and sought after teachers in Washington."
"Her classes
become communities of people with shared passions... Justine's classes
draw on poetry, philosophy and deep bodywork to make a classes of yoga
postures a class about opening, exploring an knowing the body." "The flexibility
and symmetrical functioning that I lost over two years ago when I fractured
one leg, I have recovered. My work yes, but Justine's magic. " "She is extraordinarily
articulate, responsible, challenging without being coercing and extremely
knowledgeable. But the most striking aspect of her teaching and what I
never experienced with any other teacher was a feeling of being cared
for. She made us feel as if teaching yoga was the only thing in the world
she wanted to do and as if having us in her class was one of the best
things that had happened to her." "This teacher
had the voice of an angel and the skills to transform a simple room into
an inviting place to encourage body and mind to reach for the highest
fulfillment. Thanks to Justine, I have achieved a new view of my body
and headstand no longer seems like an impossible dream. There is a group
of students somewhere out there that are about to get the best yoga teacher
in the world". "Justine
is a phenomenal yoga teacher. Teaching is both art and science, and Justine's
personal mix is amazing. She's blessed with a warm, comforting voice that,
with her Australian accent, allows you to leave your busy life behind.
What she teaches is intellectual wisdom through knowledge of the body." "Justine's
compassion, humor and charm make her classes wonderful. She knows everyone's
name, she answers questions before, during and after class and she is
available to her students. Justine has a very lovely way about her and
it makes students at ease with her and with each other." "I've taken
yoga classes over the past fifteen years and I never understood why people
were so enthusiastic about yoga. I didn't get it. But when I started taking
classes with Justine, the proverbial light bulb went off. Practicing yoga
with Justine has changed my life, and that is no small thing. I learned
how to breathe. I learned to listen to my body. She took the time to explain,
to demonstrate, to encourage me to to challenge myself and also to be
gentle with myself. Justine personalizes class, brings gentleness and
her compassion into her work and builds a sense of community among the
students." "Your emphasis
on safety is vital. As a former gymnast and dancer, I definitely like
to push myself. You called me on it in my first class and that made and
impression. It changed the way I saw yoga - not as a competition to push
myself to the limit but as a process and a journey, an unfolding of the
way I discover my body's great strengths and weaknesses. For this I am
utterly grateful." "Having
studied yoga for over ten years at many studios, Justine is one of the
best instructors I've ever had. We are still lamenting her absence from
Washington and sincerely jealous of her new students in Boston!" "Along with
her eloquence and knowledge, Justine brings to her classes a beautiful,
kind and encouraging spirit - coupled with a fun and witty sense of humor.
There is a tremendous flow and synergy to her classes. At the end of class,
I always felt better and in a better place - physically, mentally, spiritually."
