Julie Kidd

Julie is a Minded Yoga Therapist, yoga teacher, and trainee Integrative Yoga Psychotherapist with The Minded Institute. Her journey began with meditation during a time when she was seeking greater steadiness, clarity, and balance in her own life. Experiencing the profound impact of practice on her nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and sense of presence inspired her to train as a yoga teacher and later deepen into therapeutic work.

Her teaching style is compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-informed, blending movement, breathwork, relaxation, mindfulness, and reflective dialogue. Julie specialises in chair yoga as a safe, adaptable, and empowering way for people to move, breathe, and reconnect with themselves while honouring their unique needs.
