with Juliana Barajas Ivey

Yoga and Mindfulness Workshops

Gatherings designed to support connection, learning, and shared practice.

Juliana offers single-day workshops, most frequently 1-2 hours long, that weave together movement, breath, sound, meditation, and guided reflection. These sessions are well-suited for community groups, workplaces, retreat spaces, and organizations seeking an embodied, participatory experience that meets people where they are.

Workshops are collaborative in nature. Juliana works with hosts to shape a session that fits the needs and context of the group. Themes include rest and nervous system regulation, breath as a pathway to balance, working with stress or fatigue, and relational practices that affirm belonging. Workshops can be hosted virtually or in-person.

Examples of past and recurring workshops:

  • Cultivating Grace in Relationship: an experiential introduction to the Brahmaviharas (a framework from the Buddhist and yogic traditions for cultivating compassion, resilience, and steadiness in daily life) adapted for a local women’s circle
  • Mindfulness and Intention-Setting: an introductory session offered to the community college students in STEM at the annual MESA leadership conference

Interested in hosting a workshop or would like to explore what might be most supportive for your group? Let’s begin with a Foundations Session to connect and discuss possibilities. Book one here.

1:1 Therapeutic Yoga

An hour long private session with Juliana where we’ll work together to address specific concerns and areas of desired growth. This is an opportunity to craft a personal yoga practice with one on one continued guidance. What might that look like? Here are some examples:

  • A personalized yoga asana practice (the physical poses) adapted to mobility differences that may not be tended to in a studio class
  • A breathwork session designed to calm or energize the body
  • An accountability partner in developing a consistent meditation practice

Juliana offers in-person sessions in Santa Cruz, California at a community wellness space or at your local home. Juliana also offers virtual sessions, great for those with busy schedules or those connecting with Juliana from outside the Bay Area and Santa Cruz. Schedule a free virtual Foundations Session here to learn more and discuss which option might best serve you.
