Meet The Owner

Julius is a mental health enthusiast, entrepreneur, and executive. He's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Private Practice Therapist. He received his Masters degree in Social Work, a graduate-level Certificate in Human Services Management, and an undergraduate degree in Communication. Mr. Boatwright has been recognized by Mental Health America, the NAACP, and Black Enterprise. Julius was also featured on media platforms such as Forbes, TEDx, and NBC. Above all, he wants you to know that you're loved, valued, and appreciated.

"As an entrepreneur, executive, and business owner, I have an extensive set of experiences with how to positively manage stress in workplace settings. As the go-to person in crises leadership and management situations, I've successfully overcome many challenges related to coping with anxiety. As a professional who challenges themselves to consistently strive for excellence in such a demanding field, I've overcome burnout on multiple occasions. With that being said, my holistic mental health, self-care, and wellness routines have proven to be invaluable to my success. Through weekly talk therapy sessions, I've learned how to effectively process my emotions before making critical, bottom-line decisions. My personal gentle yoga practice has helped me to heal deep-seated trauma that lived in my body for decades. Writing has also played a major role in strengthening my healing journey. I believe that all of these experiences have positioned me to support you with the utmost care, compassion, and confidence".

A Message From Julius

You Deserve to Heal

As a teacher, I'm deeply inspired to cultivate an environment where we can tap into a sense of non-striving, restoration, and self-compassion. I've discovered that gentle yoga has consistently opened up my mind, body, and spirit to a depth of healing that I never knew existed. With that being said, I'd be humbled and honored to share this experience with anyone who's ready. 

If you'd like to have public class updates sent to you directly, please let me know and I'll be sure to keep you informed. As always, I wholeheartedly appreciate your openness to continue on this light, gentle, and slow path with me. 

Take good care,

 
Julius

Namaste

"I had the chance to take Julius' gentle yoga class and was very surprised by the relaxing effect just one hour had on my body and mind. I often get lost in the hectic chaos of life and work, and take very little time to reflect, rest, and breathe for me. I also doubted the effectiveness of gentle yoga, as I have practiced various martial arts, enjoy contact sports, and expected all yoga classes to make me sweat and strain. Julius' class proved to be the experience I'd been missing. His soothing voice encouraged gentle stretching with options for modified poses and meditative breathing techniques. His class was exactly what I needed to start off my weekend centered and rejuvenated. Let Julius help usher calm into your being and wellness into your spirit!"

Client Review

"I thoroughly enjoyed the gentle yoga class led by Julius. From the start of the class, it was clear that Julius is a skilled yogi. The moves were both challenging yet simple enough for various skill levels. The class left me feeling light and energized for the day ahead. Julius' confidence and calm demeanor, along with his soothing voice and clear instructions, made for a safe and comfortable environment. I look forward to attending Julius' classes in the future."
