Julia Stewart
Every movement is a decision. Julia has brought this mantra from her BFA training at VCU into her yoga practice and teaching.
When her big brother brought her to her very first yoga class, Julia experienced her first “yoga high.” It came from the feeling of companionship and trust she felt in class. Her practice has stayed rooted in these values, and as a teacher she intends to hold space for her students to feel thoroughly supported by themselves and their fellow practitioners.
Julia completed her 200-hour teacher training with Humble Haven in early 2021, and she continues to learn from the incredible mentors at Humble Haven and around Richmond. She is guided by her deeply held belief that when we move with intention together on our mats, we become more intentional, connected members of our community off our mats.
Suzanne Burns
Suzanne’s yoga practice began in 2008 out of curiosity for the physical nature of the practice, but she quickly realized that the practice was also supporting her in reducing unnecessary anxiety, as well as, processing the recent loss of a loved one. Suzanne’s training crosses many lineages of the yoga practice - Power Yoga, Kundalini, Integral Yoga, Yin, and Hatha. She is passionate about making classes and spaces accessible to all individuals who desire to participate, particularly individuals with varying disabilities, and her advocacy extends beyond the world of yoga and into the realm of inclusive employment and education. When not teaching, you will most likely find Suzanne enjoying outdoor spaces around Richmond with friends, her husband, and three kids.
Camille Heller
As a teacher, Camille aims to help students create a balance of effort and ease, in both their bodies and minds, through the practice of moving past their physical comfort zones into a new place of discovery. Camille's teaching style is a combination of tough love, anatomy-nerd and spiritual TED talk, rolled into one, supported by a well-curated playlist.
