Julee Snyder is a certified yoga instructor/therapist and licensed massage and bodywork therapist. She has been practicing yoga since 1995 and has studied extensively with master teachers, Lisa Clark and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. She specializes in gentle and restorative yoga individually tailored to meet those dealing with pain, injury, disease, or simply wanting a softer yoga practice. She is also known for her gentle, organic, and often luscious vinyasa practice. These classes clarify alignment principles, explore internal landscapes, deepen the breath, quiet the mind, and begin to cultivate a practice in which the flow between poses is as important as the poses themselves.

Julee holds a BA in Anthropology with a music minor from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is a Certified Practitioner of Body-Mind Centering® and a graduate Lisa Clark’s EmbodiYoga teacher training program, as well as the Body Therapy Institute’s massage therapy and bodywork teacher training programs.

She lives in Raleigh, NC where she has a private practice and teaches weekly classes and workshops at Blue Lotus and Moving Mantra.
