julie pate, YogaKids certified teacher

Julie Pate has been teaching exercise since 1989 while pursuing her degree in Physical Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She took her first yoga class in 1995, and enjoyed the way yoga complimented all the fitness activities she participated in, and grew to love the peaceful, kind person she was after each class. Julie holds certifications in personal training, pre/post natal exercise, Pilates, YogaKids, and is currently pursing her 200 hour Hatha Yoga Certification with Anusara Yoga Certified Instructor Sarah Starnes. Julie became interested in teaching yoga to children after having her own sons in 2002 and 2004. Julie believes that our bodies are meant to move, and that a love of movement is innate in children. Kids love to "play yoga", it helps them develop a strong body, gain respect and love for themselves, and to discover a place of stillness and peace. Julie looks forward to meeting your YogaKid!
