Julie Giacomini is an inspiring figure who bridges ancestral wisdom with a modern approach to well-being.
Through her centres Yogaji and Durgaji, located in the Ardèche region of the South of France, she offers a sacred space for people to reconnect with themselves and with nature.
Founder of Yogaji Academy and the French Federation of Children’s Yoga (FFYE), Julie is dedicated to sharing tools for awareness and holistic well-being.
She has trained hundreds of yoga teachers over the past 15 years. Today, as a mother, a woman, and a teacher, she fits into no box—except that of simply Being.
Initiated into Buddhism at the age of 13, Julie has integrated this spiritual vision into a path that combines discipline with wellness. As a speaker, teacher trainer, and Heart Manager, she helps individuals and organisations manage stress, make conscious decisions, and build positive, values-based cultures.
She is certified by Yoga Alliance ERYT-500, is a 300h Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, and a certified teacher of Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound).
Her yoga practice is the result of many years of devotion and deep study with respected teachers such as Patrick Torre, Sharon Gannon, David Swenson and Manju Pattabhi Jois. Her teaching is rooted in the philosophy of tantra and a meticulous exploration of asanas and sacred texts. It weaves together strength, energy, and gentleness.
Julie offers a rigorous and tradition-respecting yoga practice, which she shares throughout Europe—in Cyprus, Greece, Austria and beyond—as well as at her own centre, where she welcomes students from all walks of life.
Passionate about Nada Yoga and Kung Fu, Julie inspires others to cultivate love, joy and inner peace through a yoga practice deeply anchored in the present moment.
Sometimes known for her depth and vitality, at other times for her softness and grace, this “Lion’ Yogini” embodies sthira sukham asanam—the posture that is both steady and easeful.
Rooted in the heart, she walks beside you on the path of yoga—through retreats, trainings, and spiritual initiations.
