About Me

Say YES to Yourself, YES to your Passion and Dreams!

Heyy! I’m Julia, former international tennis player, economist, and sustainability analyst turned yoga teacher, tennis coach, and online entrepreneur. 

My Yoga Path




After struggling with depression and burnout, feeling completely lost in a 9-5 job, I now help young women overcome their fears, find peace within themselves, and escape the exhausting, endless cycle of chasing one goal after another.

I know what it feels like to be a workaholic, striving for perfection in every area of life. Already as a child, I wanted to be the best in school, tennis, and hockey, all at once.

After major injuries as a teenager, I gave up the dream of becoming a professional tennis player and went to the US to play college tennis instead. Great experience, no doubt, but I slowly fell apart on the inside, following that path of collecting degrees, trying to impress people, and landing a full-time job as sustainability & data analyst in an IT company.

Everything looked great on paper, but no, I wasn’t actually doing great. 

I felt exhausted and empty, scared of people judging me, unable to make decisions, and stopped doing sports altogether. I was always under current and would snap quickly. My relationship suffered, and at some point, it broke apart. That’s when I realized, something really has to change. 

Even though I was  scared of solo traveling, I booked a trip to Portugal to travel alone with a tent and a car. I was nervous. So, I booked a surf and yoga camp for the first week, not knowing this decision would turn my life upside down. I fell in love with surfing, yoga, and Portugal. I never felt so free, peaceful, and connected. Since then, I’ve been practicing yoga almost every day and completed a 200h Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka, a 300h training in India, and a 30h Yin Yoga training in Germany. I used my vacations to go surfing, built my own business on the side, and eventually quit my job to move to Portugal.  

Yoga opened my eyes. It taught me to trust the process, listen to my intuition, and not just find my passion, but truly follow it. I chose uncertainty over comfort, dreams over safety. Today, I empower women to reclaim their energy, embrace their dreams, and create a life of freedom, flow, and purpose through yoga and conscious, sustainable business. And no, this path wasn’t easy. But I chose to keep going, I chose myself – And you can, too! 

“The truest form of intelligence is designing the life that you wanne live.”

Graham Weaver

Trust that the real magic happens when you redirect your energy towards what really matters to you. How do you wanne spend your days, and who do you wanne spend them with? Stop climbing a ladder that doesn’t excite you. Stop chasing that “perfect life” and start building a life that truly feels like your own. So, tell me, do you wanne get out of this together with me? Let’s dream big, follow our passion, and build something meaningful! ✨

My Yoga Classes – What You Can Expect:

My classes are inspired not only by my own yoga practice, but also by my tennis and surfing experiences. During my tennis career, rehab and physiotherapy were like my second home, and you’ll see those influences reflected in the way I teach – through body awareness and creative flows.

Yoga is so much more than just a sport. It’s a way of life. I integrate breathing practices, meditation, & savasana (final relaxation), bringing back the traditional side of yoga that’s often missing in modern classes. Through these practices, you’ll feel more confident, manage your anxieties, and connect to your intuition. Over time, it will feel easier to make decisions, even the bigger, life-changing ones. 

You’ll build strength, flexibility, and better posture. But most importantly, you’ll learn to listen to your body’s signals. I know what it’s like when training feels like a Todo, focused on reaching the next goal. You’re overtraining, constantly injured or sick, and struggling to keep a consistent practice. Yoga changed that for me. Movement became something that gave me energy instead of draining it. 

That’s why I shift the focus from outcome over process to process over outcome. I want you to start seeing yoga as valuable me-time and fall in love with the practice itself!

Just Me – Beyond Yoga and Business

Sports Enthusiast

I love not only yoga and tennis, but also hiking, surfing, skiing, canoeing, ice skating, and much more. 

Nature Lover

Every year, my best friend and I go on a week-long canoe trip. We love the quiet time in nature and the adventure together! 

Traveller by Heart

I fell in love with solo traveling & backpacking, and had some life-changing moments and realizations on my trips in Portugal and Sri Lanka. I feel so peaceful and free, the perfect state of mind to reflect and grow. 

Food for Thought

I used to be vegan. Now, I eat more or less vegetarian, and I love cooking. I bake my own bread and Sundays are for pancakes. My favorite snacks are 85% dark chocolate, soy yogurt, and puffed lentil cakes.

My Holistic Health Approach

In my mid-20s, I integrated cleaner foods, yearly gut cleanses, and high-quality supplements. Eventually, my food intolerances and dust and pollen allergies disappeared, my period came back, and my hair grew back after 3 years (I have circular hair loss, an autoimmune condition triggered in 2021).

Music and Dance

When I want to go dance, I’d choose techno or DNB, but I enjoy all kinds of music. Who knows Fridayhappiness in Lagos? Meet me there!
