Meet the Team
A heart-led team of dedicated teachers
At the heart of Yogaji Academy is a passionate team of trainers who embody a grounded, transformative and accessible approach to yoga. We are more than instructors — we are guides on the path, united by the desire to share not just technique, but a whole way of being: connected to oneself, others, and nature.
Leading the team is Julie Giacomini, founder of Yogaji Academy and of the French Federation of Children’s Yoga. A trainer and speaker for over 15 years, Julie has supported hundreds of yoga teachers across Europe, combining rigorous teaching with a deep sensitivity to the living world.
Surrounding her is a multidisciplinary team, united by a shared philosophy: to teach with humility and joy while staying true to the roots of yoga. Each trainer brings their own colour and story, contributing to an authentic and supportive learning environment.
Our trainings, retreats and workshops offer more than just knowledge — they’re deep spaces of inner exploration and return to what matters most. Often held in our ashram in Ardèche, these immersive experiences allow each teaching to become a true invitation to live yoga fully, between ancient stones and mountain air.
Nos formations, retraites et stages sont bien plus que des transmissions de savoir : ce sont des espaces de d’exploration intérieure et de retour à l’essentiel — souvent accueillis dans notre ashram en Ardèche, lieu de paix et de ressourcement en pleine nature. Là-bas, entre les pierres anciennes et le souffle des montagnes, chaque enseignement devient une invitation à vivre le yoga pleinement.
