About Julie Stephens Yoga

A yoga business on Trafalgar Street in Hall, Nelson, that runs classes, individual lessons, teacher training and retreats abroad. The website says it offers classes both online and in person, and a weekly individual lesson is available. The teacher has more than 25 years of teaching experience around the world. Teacher training is a main focus: one reviewer took a 100 hour refresher course over ten days, covering anatomy, asana, pranayama, the history of yoga and scriptures, and a full day of silence. An India Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat is listed for 1 to 8 September 2027.

Reviewers describe a calm teaching style that is still challenging. Retreats are a common theme. One describes a Koh Samui retreat with daily practice, a waterfall walk, an elephant sanctuary, temples and a night market. Another describes a Bali retreat at a comfortable hotel, with a cleanse at a water spring temple and a bike ride through rice fields. Of the yoga listings within a kilometre with ten or more reviews, none rates higher than this one. Yoga & Somatic Therapy with Chelsi-lee, 0.9 km away, is also rated 5.0.
