If you’ve been kicking around the yoga world for a number of years, I feel like my guest, Jules Mitchell will already be on your radar. Jules is a Las vegas based yoga teacher and massage therapist who also holds a masters of science in biomechanics.
She blends the tradition of yoga with her extensive study in biomechanics to help teachers develop their craft and empower them with education. She regularly contributes to yoga teacher training programs and leads workshops worldwide, balancing the somatic aspects of yoga with the most current exercise science. Bringing the most useful and applicable pieces of that science into the yoga community is her passion, even when it invokes a discerning analysis of popular opinions. Her book, Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined, is now available through Handspring Publishing.
In my 200 HR teacher training programs I cited Jule’s work extensively, and really appreciate the contribution her work has made to the yoga community.
