Julie Aelbrecht

Julie Aelbrecht is a meditation and yoga teacher and RYT 500 certified yoga teacher and personal trainer, based in Brussels and Lebbeke, Belgium. She came to yoga at nineteen to ease back pain from scoliosis, and her practice became a daily anchor during an intense few years working in London media. She then left that career to study yoga and meditation in Asia.

Her training includes silent meditation at the Wat Pa Tam Wua monastery in Northern Thailand, Yin Yoga, and a meditation teacher training in Rishikesh, India. In February 2020 she began the process of becoming a certified personal trainer. She taught at the Marnes recovery resort in Spain until February 2020, where she designed the yoga and relaxation program with a medical team and a personal trainer, based on the Trauma-Sensitive Yoga principles developed by Elizabeth Hopper and David Emerson.

Julie now focuses her work on stress and sleep. Her classes are inspired by tradition and adapted according to the principles of Yoga for Special Needs and Trauma Sensitive Yoga, so that people can move in a kind and conscious way. In Belgium she teaches a weekly small group class in Lebbeke and works with private clients in Brussels. She streams yoga classes three mornings a week on Insight Timer and is developing an audio course, The Power of Powernaps.
