ABOUT ME

Yoga Teacher Jule Gonzales with hands in Victorious Heart Mudra

Namasté my friend, 


My name is Jule, I'm in my thirties, and I live in Berlin with my two beautiful daughters and my loving husband. You'd certainly not consider me the typical Yoga teacher: I am not vegan (and I'm not planning to become one); I love sipping a good whiskey every now and then, and I'm a little fantasy/sci-fi nerd.

Now, if you're still reading, let me tell you my Yoga story.

 

For many years, I‘ve tried to be perfect - I was an A-level student, a restless workaholic, a people-pleaser - and I actually believed that my perfectionism was my superpower. It took a while for me to realize how wrong I was. These high expectations of myself were neither healthy nor realistic. In fact, they held me back; they kept me from leaving my comfort zone because I was afraid of what people might think if I made mistakes or even failed. Yoga has helped me understand that I can only grow outside my comfort zone, that I need to challenge myself and embrace imperfection. That was the only way for me to actually master my life as a working mom. Loving myself for who I am grants me the energy and love needed to maneuver my beautiful and yet chaotic everyday life. Through Yoga I‘ve learned to fill my cup, so that I can be of service to others.

I first discovered Yoga as a student at Heidelberg university. I remember practicing Vinyasa flows in a cramped little gym with at least 40 other students, our mats almost touching. Still it was such an enriching experience, especially chanting the ohm with so many different souls. It made me stick to Yoga later in life - it accompanied me throughout both my pregnancies and here I am now: I finished my yoga teacher training at Happy Jack University and successfully graduated as a Certified Yoga Life Coach.

And yet aside of yoga philosophy, I've always had this fascination for science, for what is actually happening inside our bodies and brains when we practice those ancient techniques. I wanted to know why yogic practices have these mindblowing effects on us and how.
 

And then one day I stumbled across neuro-yoga, a rather unknown and young branch of yoga incorporating both of my great passions, combining two worlds that often seem to be conflicting: spirituality and neuroscience. It made a big difference in my life. The concepts deeply resonate with me, which is why I've decided to focus all my energy and efforts on diving deeper into the workings of the brain as we discover and practice yoga.

 

My coaching sessions are fun and may yet go very deep. Clients who are willing to share openly will experience true transformation from within.


If you visit my online neuro-yoga classes as part of my program, expect to leave feeling clear, sharp, confident, and at ease. My signature classes contain challenging as well as healing meditative elements. I encourage my students to make the poses fit their bodies, using props, modifications, and variations - not to compare themselves to their peer students, me or any of those bendy Yogis on Instagram. There is no perfect pose to strike - all we can do is to challenge our bodies and minds without straining. That is where we grow.
