Registered Yoga School with the Canadian Yoga Alliance.
Perfect Balance Yoga partners with Okanagan Yoga College to bring you Mystic Mindfulness Yoga Teacher Training. Through the transformational process of yoga, Mindfulness, and Energy work you will learn how to ignite your inner healer and cultivate the wisdom and inner peace that leads to true purpose and alignment.
Inspired by Siam Reiki, Mindfulness following Zen Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh, yoga as therapy, ancient earth based traditions, traditional philosophy, Ayurveda and merged with modern tools of self study, physical alignment and safe instruction. Juliana and Andrea offer a heart centered teaching and practice style and believe that the first step to becoming a teacher and space holder is diving into your own practice to embody the teaching from a personal space. Each day is layered with practices that help you begin to notice your habits, build strength in body and mind, and ultimately a more vital, conscious way of life.
We focus on setting a strong foundation in yogic basics, both physical and metaphysical. We rebuild the practice from the ground up, allowing you to shed old habits, and support newer students in understanding from an alignment focused approach.
Rooted in the belief that every being has a purpose and a powerful message to share, this training encourages your unique gifts to be expressed authentically and powerfully in the support of a conscious community.
We invite, not only those who wish to become teachers, but anyone who wants to take their practice to deeper physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

From a young age Juliana was surrounded by yoga and alternative practices from her Mother, a fire walking Kundalini practitioner.

She naturally fell in love with the spirit of nature as she counted the many eagles that lined the treetops by the ocean near her home.
Her innate affection and connection to the natural world carried her through many transitions in life.
Her curiosity lead her to pursue education in Herbology, Ayurveda, Anthropology and Sociology. Her travels led her to many great teachers including, first nations elders and shamans leading her to sacred ceremonies with Plant Medicine Iboga and Ayahuasca.
Her passion is to remove the dogma from yoga, she teaches equality and acceptance between all races and religions, understanding that there are many rivers that lead to the same great ocean.
Diversity in practice, self study, human sovereignty and emperical wisdom are foundations of her teaching.
Juliana has hosted numerous Yoga Retreats internationally, many include Traditional Sweat Lodge or sacred ceremony with an elder.
Her teaching style can be described as graceful, awake and transformational. She is passionate about sharing the technology of Pranayama and believes in maintaining an accessible practice that is safe for the long term health of the body.

She began her teaching journey in 2011 with Moksha Yoga International's 500 hour teacher training based on yoga-therapy and the maintenance of long term health of the joints.
Since then she has completed an athletic program for Yoga and has worked with professional athletes. She travelled to Boulder, CO to attend the Boulder Circus Training Institute where she completed her Aerial Yoga Teacher Training with Aircat Aerial Yoga.
Her ongoing studies in Vinyasa Yoga, Meditation and extensive personal development inspired her to co-create Into the Mystic Yoga Teacher Training and Elevate Aerial Yoga Teacher Training
