A Heart-Led Team
At the heart of Yogaji Academy is a team of passionate teachers who embody a vision of yoga that is alive, grounded, accessible, and deeply transformative.
We are not just instructors — we are guides on the path, united by a desire to share more than a technique: a way of being in the world, connected to oneself, to others, and to nature.
At the centre of this team is Julie Giacomini, founder of Yogaji Academy and the French Federation for Children’s Yoga. A teacher trainer and speaker for over 15 years, she has mentored hundreds of yoga teachers across Europe, combining structured teaching with deep listening and respect for the living.
Around her is a multidisciplinary team who share the same philosophy: to teach with humility and joy, while staying true to the roots of yoga. Each teacher brings their own background and unique voice, creating a learning space that is safe, authentic, and inclusive.
Our trainings, retreats, and workshops go far beyond the transmission of knowledge — they are spaces for inner exploration and reconnection to the essential, often held in our ashram in the Ardèche mountains. There, among ancient stone walls and mountain breezes, each teaching becomes an invitation to truly live your yoga.
