About

Julia Katz Yoga About

I'm a yoga teacher and shiatsu practitioner based in London with my family. I have practised yoga for over 30 years and am passionate about sharing its many wonderful benefits.

I teach various styles of yoga - Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Hot Yoga, Restorative, Yin and Yoga for Cancer. These classes can be in person and via Zoom. I teach public classes at triyoga Camden and Down To Earth in Tufnell Park, and also private and corporate classes.

My love of yoga was kindled in 1988 when I was working in Stockholm. Instantly smitten, I've been practising ever since. Quite simply, I love yoga, and I love sharing what I have learnt with others. The benefits of practising yoga go much further than the purely physical.  

I have trained with some extraordinary teachers: my first 200 hour Teacher Training was with Bridget Woods Kramer at Triyoga. I have subsequently studied with Donna Fahri, Kristin Campbell (Hot Yoga), Mimi Kuo Deemer (Vinyasa), Anna Ashby (Restorative), Norman Blair (Yin) and Vicky Fox (Yoga for Cancer).

After my treatment for breast cancer in 2023, I had several months off work which allowed me to go very deeply into my practice. Grounding myself with yogic breathing techniques was invaluable to me as I went through all the various invasive scans and procedures. My practice became a way to still feel like I was me.

Committing to a regular yoga practice really can be transformative. You learn breathing techniques and movement patterns that over time can change how you feel in your body. Anyone can experience this wonderful and ancient practice. 

The path is made by walking.

What people say…

  • Sarah B

    “I was relatively new to yoga when I started with Julia, and hadn't loved it when I practised with other teachers in the past. I am now a major convert! Her yoga sessions have consistently been the highlight of my week, and have helped me enormously, particularly over this past year. Julia is one of the calmest, most reassuring and supportive teachers I have ever come across, for all ability levels. I leave her class each week feeling relaxed, stronger and more flexible, and generally better about the world.”

  • Julia H

    “Julia has taught me for over 3 years, initially in her group classes and more recently in private classes which were tailored to my specific needs and restrictions. These were brilliant. She has kept me moving when I couldn't do any other exercise and encouraged me to be more ambitious with my yoga. I have felt very supported by her generous teaching and thoughtful care.”

  • Annabelle W

    “Julia's yoga classes are the best I have been to. She is kind, considerate and engaging.”

  • Libby D

    “Do Julia's class once and you will be hooked! Julia is not just a great yoga teacher she is such a warm, special person.  It is incredibly uplifting and a joy to be in her class. She has the ability to support you whatever level you are, and she takes care to attend to anyone who may have aches, pains or injuries that may need some special attention. Julia has the skill to know what your body needs and how far to push it! Her classes have helped me heal from various lower back and shoulder issues, and I am truly grateful.”

  • Siobhan S

    “I have had quite a few teachers over the years and Julia just makes me feel comfortable. She has a calm, warm approach to yoga and I feel safe in her hands.”

  • Kate BR

    “I've been taking Julia's classes for the past few years and they are a firm fixture in my week. Her serene approach and humour mean that whilst I'm stretching and strengthening my body I always feel in good hands.  I particularly love the fact that she reads us poetry at the end!”

  • Martha

    “After years of me dabbling in yoga here and there, Julia was the teacher who gave me the grounding and confidence to properly commit and build my yoga practice consistently.  Since regularly attending her classes for the past few years, I can track my progress and my enjoyment of regular yoga practice.  Julia has that rare combination of knowing her stuff and taking it seriously but never too seriously.  I trust her implicitly and love the calm and relaxed, yet focussed atmosphere she creates wherever she teaches. The range and variety in the classes is always welcome and somehow her sense of pace and knowing how far to stretch you always leads to a genuine sense of accomplishment by the end.“
