Julie Helmes

Julie grew up in Marblehead and in 2018 returned to her roots as owner of The Yoga Loft Marblehead. In 2011, while working as a studio assistant, she developed a consistent yoga practice and discovered its whole-body benefits after years of high-intensity sports. Yoga became a mental and physical escape, a new space to build balance in her life. Some of her first yogic inspirations came from Yoga Loft teachers, including Jennifer Craig, Ivana Ustariz, Vito Politano, and Lisa Faia. Over the years, her personal practice has evolved as she's experimented with different varieties of yoga.

Julie earned her 200-hour certification from Marianne Wells Yoga School in Costa Rica and returned to Boston to teach. During her teacher training, she was first introduced to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian health science and sister science to yoga. Through her own health journey, she chose to study deeper and become an Ayurveda Wellness Counselor with Kerala Ayurveda Academy. Julie now shares her passion for Ayurveda through When Living.

The Yoga Loft has been a transformational part of Julie's life, and she enjoys continuing to make it part of others'.
