Yoga and Mindfulness with Justine

Hello and a warm welcome to Yin to the Yang Yoga. My name is Justine and I am the founder of Yin to the Yang Yoga. I am a yoga teacher trainer and run my own Registered Yoga School, accredited as a RYS-200 by Yoga Alliance.

I am a 500 Hours Advanced Yoga Teacher, accredited by Yoga Alliance. I am qualified to teach many different types of yoga including hatha, vinyasa, ashtanga and yin yoga. I am also a qualified pre-natal, yoga for fertility and children's yoga teacher. In addition to this, I am also a fully qualified Life Coach, accredited by NLP.

Since 2014, I have been committed to my own growth and transformation. I previously lived a life out of alignment with my true self, in a job that was unfulfilling and in an unhappy marriage. For many years, I felt lost, helpless and that I wasn't in control of my life. This caused me to live with anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis.

Luckily, I found yoga and my life situation began to improve. I implemented a daily yoga practice and introduced positive affirmations to help improve my mindset. My life began to change for the better and I had the courage to step away from the fear and judgement that was holding me back. My daily habits helped to shift my mind in to a positive state and I felt empowered to take steps towards my dream life.

I took 100% ownership and responsibility for my life and it led me to leaving the corporate world, after 15 years, to teach yoga full time. A few months later, I left my marriage. These 2 decisions were pivotal moments in my life which have enabled me to live a fulfilling life.

Yoga is a journey of endless discovery and growth, and I am wholeheartedly dedicated to this path. My passion for yoga goes beyond the mat and is deeply intertwined with my daily life and continuous learning. One of the many things I love about yoga is its vastness. There is always more to learn, more to explore and more to experience.

I believe that to be an inspiring yoga teacher, you must first and foremost be a humble yoga student. By expanding my knowledge, I also gain greater capacity to share this practice with others and to guide them with authenticity and compassion. Investing in myself as a lifelong yoga student means that I am constantly evolving. This evolution not only enhances my personal practice but also enables me to bring fresh insights and techniques to my teaching. I am committed to embodying the principles of yoga in every aspect of my life, creating a ripple effect that inspires and uplifts those around me.

Everything I have learnt on the mat, I have taken with me off the mat and I now have access to various different coping mechanisms 24 hours a day. I am so grateful for what yoga has provided for my life that I want to share this with you and give you access to these same tools wherever you are in the world and whenever you may need them.

I look forward to guiding you on your yoga journey and am always here to answer any questions you may have.

Namaste,

Justine x
