Julie Shaw

In 1988, Julie Shaw had back pain from her long commute to work as a corporate trainer. She looked up "yoga" in the yellow pages and stepped into a lifelong practice. After 15 years as a student, she agreed to teach a couple of friends what she knw about yoga. Ten years later, she became a certified yoga therapist, using the tools of yoga to help people stay healthy and manage the symptoms that come with health conditions. She has worked in hospital settings, physician practices, yoga studios, community settings, and in private with individuals. She is a certified Viniyoga Therapist AVI(R) and has a Master's Degree in Adult Education from Rutgers University. In addition to practicing yoga, Julie loves hiking, gardening, twirling the baton, reading, and correcting other people's grammar, which she is working on overcoming, especially after writing this book and realizing she may not have all the right answers after all.
