I cannot speak highly enough about Julia Jonson and her teacher training program. I am currently enrolled in her spring 2022 session and it has been life changing. The level of detail and professionalism she puts into her work is unmatched. It is evident that she genuinely cares about the participants in her program, encouraging our development and offering her mentorship as we chart our own paths as yoga teachers. If you are considering taking this program or one of her classes, I highly recommend doing yourself a favor and signing up. On another note, Andrew is a gifted yoga teacher as well. His intermediate classes are challenging for both newcomers and experienced yogis alike. His passion for yoga is evident in his teaching style and he leaves his students with a lot to think about regarding alignment and technique. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to train under both Julia and Andrew and will cherish the knowledge they’ve imparted on me.

I took yoga teacher training with Julia at TBY in 2021. Julia did an excellent job in preparing me to be a yoga teacher. Her incredible breadth of knowledge of yoga as well as her warm and encouraging demeanor made for an excellent program. Although I am a more mature yoga student/teacher with a previous knee replacement, Julia helped me to develop a skill set within my abilities. I began teaching shortly after completing the program. I recommend this yoga training program highly!

I have been wanting to take yoga teacher training for years, but it was never the right time. When I heard Julia Jonson was going to do teacher training, everything fell into place, and I found that she has the hands-on experience, depth of knowledge and understanding that I was looking for in an instructor. Julia’s method of teaching yoga is relatable, compassionate, practical, empowering, fun…. I could go on and on! I highly recommend! My goal/interest was learning to teach therapeutic yoga… I got to learn that, and much more. Hoping that I will continue learning and getting insights on yoga from Julia for years to come.

Special shout-out to Carole! We have been taking yoga classes at TBY for years and can't speak highly enough about Julia and Andrew. Wonderful people and instructors. I have recently started taking classes from Carole on line- the in person times just haven't worked for me with work, kids, life, etc- so I sign up for the zoom class and Julia sends the recording to do at my leisure for the next week. Works great for my crazy schedule (would be great for anyone camera-shy too). Carole is very knowledgeable yet light-hearted and the combo makes for a great class that's just what I need after a crazy day. Highly recommend and thank you for the zoom/recording option!

I've been practicing yoga for 8 years - and Julia and Andrew have got to be the most competent, kind, and passionate teachers I have met. Their understanding of anatomy, sequencing, and yoga philosophy is top notch - combined with their sense of humor and kindness, their classes are SUPER effective and enjoyable. HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to start a yoga practice or continue their longstanding practice.

TBY (To Be You) is such an appropriate name. Julia and her team of Instructors, create and facilitate an environment that allows the participants to achieve a healthier version on themselves, body and mind...To truly "be You". Participants are able to begin or continue their yoga journey with a full selection of objective and level-based class offerings.

I have recently completed the YTT with TBY Yoga. Upon meeting Julia once prior to joining, I knew I had to have her as my instructor. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the environment that Julia sets at TBY. She is kind, dedicated, light hearted and very true to yogas roots. You can tell that she is very passionate about her practice, her teachings and her studies. I am forever grateful that I have chosen this path and chose to go under her amazing teachings. Whether you are looking to do YTT (highly recommend) or wanting to take her yoga class- look no further! She is an inspiration and I aspire to follow her lead. Thank you TBY. You truly set the stage of following the "To Be You".

Wow! Julia is truly a rare gem and I am beyond grateful I found her. My dream was to complete my yoga teacher training in India to get an authentic experience, but once I realized I couldn't be a month away from my family, I luckily found Julia's yoga teacher training and it's the next best thing! She stays true to yoga's roots - bringing in a Buddhist monk to teach us meditation, an expert on the Bhagavad Gita, and having us study yoga philosophy extensively. She emphasizes on alignment which allows me to be a confident yoga instructor, and prevent my students from injury. I cannot recommend her YTT and yoga classes enough!

I have worked with Julia for many many years. She is the best yoga teacher I have experienced. She intuitively knows what a body needs and has all the tools necessary to deal with any issues.

I had an amazing Yoga Teacher Training experience with Julia at TBY Yoga. Julia is a gifted teacher and has a deep knowledge of anatomy, sequencing and yoga philosophy. She created a nurturing environment where I was able to learn and thrive. I appreciate her heart-felt desire for her students to be successful and the countless ways she empowered us to achieve our full potential. Even after completing the program, Julia continues to be available as a mentor to her students. I am incredibly grateful to call Julia my teacher. I highly recommend TBY yoga.

If you have been looking to become a yoga teacher but haven't found the right training program, this is your sign to take that leap of faith and sign up with TBY! I received my 200 YTT certification in March 2023 and I'm so happy that I did it. Julia is a beautiful soul that genuinely cares for her students and goes above and beyond with anything and everything she does!

I took my 200HR Yoga Teacher Training with TBY/Julia and it was such a phenomenal experience. Julia was patient and thorough and a super kind teacher. I was able to leave training ready to teach and have a greater awareness of my purpose as a yoga teacher and how to make each class I teach a special event. Thank you, TBY!

Love the class and workshop I took with Julia. Amazing teacher who integrates mind and body in her teaching - and Julia’s love for yoga and continuous improvement is inspiring.

I went to the Yoga retreat with Andrew and Julia in Tuscany, Italy. It was a life changing experience for me. I highly recommend practicing yoga with them!!!
