DuVine Yoga Instructor: Julie Rader
Julie Rader first discovered meditation as a teenager as a tool to enhance her gymnastics performances. She continued to study the power of the mind body connection through college and graduate school.

Julie has owned two yoga studios. The first was a partnership and the second, Mukti, was a sole ownership. After four years of yoga studio management, Julie decided to turn her focus back to teaching. Julie now manages Mukti Yoga teacher training school. Mukti Yoga teacher training school is made up of 50-hour, 100-hour, and 150-hour modules. The modules allow trainees to customize the teacher training experience based on the path they would like their teaching career to take. Mukti Yoga senior teachers lead the foundation modules and Julie leads the graduate module as well as most of the 50-hour modules.
