Julie Halpern is the founder of YogaTwist and mom to two unique, ommazing daughters who have
grown to become beautiful, independent young adults! She is a certified 200 hour yoga instructor,
student of life, and has been sharing yoga and mindfulness with kids since 2007. Immediately
following her first 3 day YogaKids training, she began teaching in the after school program at her
daughters’ elementary school. Since then, she has been attending various kids’ yoga trainings and
workshops and has expanded to teaching in at schools, camps, special events, family
classes, mommy and me, prenatal, children’s boutiques, yoga studios, birthday parties, teacher trainings,
festivals, workshops, private clients, with special needs kids and even on PBS KidVision website and TV!
It is so important to reach children, and now she gives others (that means YOU!) the tools to
spread love and expand consciousness in the world, starting with the kids, our future! So…the
natural next step has been to create this Kids’ YogaTwist training!
Julie feels it is extremely important to give back and to build bridges in the community. She has been a
volunteer “wish fairy” (wish granter is the correct term, but she likes to sprinkle fairy dust wherever she can!)
for the South Florida chapter of the Make a Wish Foundation. An amazing organization that grants
wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. She has also completed the Connection Coalition (CoCo)
training, formerly Yoga Gangsters, who reach out to kids “at risk”. She has shared free classes at festivals
“Heal the Planet” and the New Life Yoga and Conscious Living Expo, as well as fundraising
festivals for children in India and other great causes at the I Love Yoga Studio.
Her trainings and certifications include:
Yoga Kids Foundations
Radiant Child (Kundalini ) Levels 1 & 2
Asana Alphabet
Connection Coalition (Yoga Gangsters)
I Love Yoga 200 hour Teacher Certification/
Chair yoga training
