Some ❤️ from our students
You could not find a better yoga course! Julia and Helen have created the most spectacular curriculum – they’ve both been incredibly supportive throughout and have improved my personal practice beyond anything I could have imagined – in just 3 weeks!

Fantastic course and can’t recommend highly enough to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of yoga and take the first step to becoming a teacher.

A beautiful experience with teachers rooted in tradition and poetically translating it into a contemporary context. Julia is a Matriarch of yoga and teaching teachers.

I absolutely LOVE Julia’s classes! She creates the most incredible space for everyone to have fun collectively whilst also guiding people to explore their own inner experience! Can’t wait for the next class x

I did my 200 hours with Julia and Helen. The best experience of my life. The training was professional , challenging and fun at the same time. I learnt so much about myself, my body and, of course, about yoga and the practice.
Shirin Costa, September 2023
I joined the adjustments course in July 2023 led by Julia and absolutely loved it! The morning ashtanga practices set the tone for the day and we went through so much in just a week! Julia is a fantastic teacher and it was amazing to connect with and learn from the other new teachers on the course too.

Amazing teacher and sequence! Julia’s ashtanga was one of the greatest ashtanga class i’ve experience in Liverpool ♥️

I completed my 50 hours Ashtanga Adjustments and Alignments course with the Yoga Academy in July this year! It was SUCH a helpful course and went into a lot of alignment specifics and teaching techniques that weren’t covered in my 200 hours. Thanks Julia! 💓
Olivia Bourne
I was trained by Julia and Helen in 2021. The course was truly enjoyable and informative. I loved the anatomy section and incorporation into the yoga practice.
Jenny Mil, September 2023
Amazing course! Studied ashtanga with adjustments with Julia. Julia is full of energy and is an inspiring teacher. I feel confident now in my own practice and in hands on adjustment as a teacher.
Clare Hogson, September 2023
Julias classes invite to explore and rethink movement. Julia and her team are always happy to help, offer exact instructions and adjust the posture to your needs. Love coming back for yoga practice and trainings! 🧘🏼♂️

I did the course for me never thinking I could do something like this and I did! I loved it the support from the teachers Julia, Helen & Pennie. All super knowledgeable and encouraged us to be ourselves.
Elaine Upton, September 2023
Julia’s classes are the best! Love her energy, love her instructions, love the structure…I am super glad to be able to join online from all over the world and practice with, honestly, my favorite yoga teacher! Never feel my body more than after a good session Rocket Yoga.

Firstly, I would like to say how grateful I am for the constant inspiration and guidance, that I find in my lovely teacher Julia. We first met during my 200hrs and 300hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course in Goa, India with Julia as the Lead Teacher. I felt so at home, that afterwards I stayed with […]

My sister and I spent a week at a Yoga Retreat in Nicaragua with Julia Gavin. Julia is fantastic! We had 2 hours of energising Ashtanga Yoga practice each morning and then more of a workshop opportunity in the afternoon. All of it was wonderful and […]

Julia came to teach a meditation and chanting workshop at my studio in Cheshire. It was aimed at beginners and all students left with enough information to start to exploring other the other limbs of yoga as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Julia’s teaching style is very accessible and […]
Kate, UK, August 2016
Julia was my teacher in the 200hrs and 300hrs teacher training in India and to put it into simple words: she is my teacher and she will always be. I did a one week retreat with her in Spain this year (2016), which was amazing. Julia is a very mindful teacher. She understands students capabilities […]
Kathrin, Switzerland, September 2016
I had the opportunity to meet Julia during a week-long vacation Los Clavos Surf Camp in Nicaragua. The students ranged from practicing yoga for the first time ever to practitioners with years of practice. In a class of several people with such diverse practice backgrounds, Julia’s instruction always felt like it was customized just for me. […]

After many years, I finally took the plunge and completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Julia in Nicaragua.

I came across Julia’s teacher training and immediately signed up after a quick and thoughtful […]

During the last week of March I had the fortunate experience of enjoying a yoga retreat at El Coco Loco in Nicaragua. The instructor for this retreat was Julia Gavin.

Julia’s energy and her love for teaching Ashtanga Yoga was the perfect combination for an incredible Yoga Teacher Training experience in Nicaragua. The surf camp in Nicaragua is beautiful, clean, silent and everyone that worked there was extra kind and generous to us. There is a very chilled atmosphere, a perfect place to learn Ashtanga […]
Luciana, Argentina, June 2018
Julia is an extremely talented, experienced and educated yoga teacher that brings her personality and spirit into her classes. I was lucky enough to spend a week with Julia in Nicaragua, where she tailored classes specific to our needs. The Backbending Workshop was amazing. In order to prepare for deep back bending poses, she guided […]

“I joined Julia for a one week retreat in North Spain. I was impressed by the standard of teaching and the variety of techniques used in the sessions.
