About Justine:
Justine is a skilled, attentive and intuitive teacher. She has over 10 years of yoga teaching experience and over 15 years in the holistic health and wellness industry overall. She has taught in many capacities in and around Center City Philadelphia in studios and for non-profit organizations. She is trained is various styles of yoga ranging from Power Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, SUP Yoga, and Hot Vinyasa to Slow Flow Vinyasa, Hot Power Fusion Hatha and Yin. In her personal practice, she has a deep reverence for traditional Hatha practices and studies Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar, Yin, Kundalini and Pranayama. Her unique teaching style reflects her own practice, and her practice is an ever-evolving and life-long relationship.
In addition to her in-studio teaching experience, she has had the honor to teach at festivals like Wanderlust and NamasDay and the pleasure of being invited to teach on national and international retreats. Justine has collaborated in creating many programs, workshops, and teacher training programs over the years with leaders in the Philadelphia yoga community, as well as, Holistic Health professionals.
Ultimately, it was her aspiration to open her own studio, which she did in September of 2018. Through her studio, Yoga Brain East Falls, Justine created community, mentored teachers, and created her own brand and programs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Justine closed her studio with a heavy heart in the Summer of 2020, after only 18 months of operations. She has since focused on her private students and rebuilding her relationship with her practice, in addition to working in Marketing.
Her focus in all of her teaching is breath centered, introspective, nurturing, encouraging and challenging. Her music choices are moving and her choreography is holistic. Her classes are designed to nourish the practitioner, honor the body and still the soul. Above all else, Justine is most deeply moved and inspired by Nature and the Great Spirit flowing through all things. She is excited for her return to the studio and what her future in teaching yoga and living holistically may hold. Follow her @justinebaconyoga on IG to learn more about Justine and her offerings.
