"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. "
-Claire Dekle, Smithsonian Curator

"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."
-Suzanne Raitt, Professor of English

"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".
-Jilma Lasso, Lawyer

"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."
-Dan Jossen, Teacher

"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."
-Kandice Zeman, Music Industry

"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."
-Sharon Forrence, International Consultant

"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."
-Maia Magder, Speech Pathologist, Prison Facility

"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!"
-Leigh Bailey, Fundraiser

"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."
-JoAnne Bailey, Policy Analyst
