Julia Ferguson
My name is Julia Ferguson and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. I completed my 200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa and Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in Portugal at Bend it like Buddha. Some of the courses I took include pranayama, meditation, adjustments and alignment, anatomy, and teaching methods. I learned many different breathing and mindfulness techniques, appropriate use of props, how and when to cue students, and how to sequence yoga flows. During this training, I also received an 8-hour Ayurveda Massage Training. In 2019, I furthered my education by completing a 30-hour online Yoga Nidra training through ShivaShakti School of Yoga. I have since completed my 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training (2022) through Sampoorna Yoga and my 85-hour Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga teacher training (2024) through Awakened Spirit Yoga.
Experience
My yoga teaching career started out when I taught vinyasa yoga classes at SUNY Oneonta through the Intramurals Department from 2017 through 2019.
​
I held donation-based vinyasa yoga classes in Sunset Park in Port Washington, New York during the summer of 2019.
​
I also worked at Om Sweet Om Yoga Studio in Port Washington, New York. I have worked there since 2020 and our studio sadly had to close its doors on April 20, 2022 due to financial hardships brought on by the pandemic.
​
During the height of the pandemic, I offered free yoga classes through Instagram Live.​
​
I am currently teaching yoga at Happy Buddha Yoga in Goshen, New York. I have also started teaching goat yoga for Totes Goats LLC in Warwick, New York.
​
I have multiple private clients who receive individualized instruction and uniquely curated classes both in-person and virtually.
