Welcome! Are you curious about natural ways to reduce stress, discover your intuitive inner wisdom, create a healthier body and more positive outlook, but don't feel comfortable going to a busy yoga studio where everyone is wearing designer yoga outfits? Starving artist yoga aims to provide an open, welcoming, friendly environment where you don't need to know anything about yoga already. Classes are based on creating wellness and empowering the individual to know themselves deeply to be more at ease with ourselves and in the world. The sessions are based on a seasonal cycle, connecting us with the energetic patterns of the seasons so we can start to understand and work with natural creative cycles. Our practice helps us understand the connections between our breath, our attention, physical and emotional holding patterns, habitual behaviour, and how to best foster our energies to avoid burnout, improve self awareness, communication, relationships and creativity. Whether
you're an artist, a performer or simply looking for a creative, non
corporate alternative for health and well being our Monday night class could be a good fit for you. With no dress code, no attitude, no need to be flexible we aim to create an inclusive and easy going atmosphere. All levels and absolute beginners are welcome.

Morena Media, The Artists Business Digest Sept, 2010 Arts and Upstarts: Profile of Julie Gladstone & Starving Artist Yoga
Hello! Starving Artist Yoga was started by me Julie Gladstone because I wanted share the extremely practical teachings of yoga with those who might otherwise be cynical and/or dissuaded from practice. The idea is simple. Create a welcoming, inclusive environment that demystifies and de-stereotypes yoga in which you can wear your band t-shirt and paint spattered tights to class if you want to. In addition to the health benefits of increased flexibility, immunity, strength and overall improvement in digestion, sleep,and more, regular yoga practice can help individuals manage stress, reduce mood fluctuations, reduce addictive or destructive behaviour patterns, increase self awareness, and help us become more loving people.
Starving Artist Yoga believes in making classes accessible: Many of our classes and services are offered on a sliding scale price system. Based on the honour system, this allows you to keep up a regular practice at prices that align with your budget.
Classes welcome everyone including absolute beginners, yoga spectics, professionals, the unemployed, students... Starving Artist Yoga strives to maintain a non-oppressive, non judgmental and LGBT friendly environment.
Starving Artist Yoga provides work trade options for those who can't afford to pay for classes.
Hope to see you soon, Julie
