Justine effortlessly transmits yoga wisdom. While serving as a community health agent in the Peace Corps in 2007, she had the opportunity to informally teach yoga to Nigeriens in French and Hausa. Upon return to the US, she earned her certification and began working professionally. She has since taught in various studio settings as well as specialized settings including elementary schools, an insurance agency, and an organization for intentional recovery from the hardships of life.

Born and raised in Pittsfield, Justine attended a summer circus camp at Berkshire Community College where she performed balances, drops, and hangs on the trapeze. With a healthy appetite for spandex and tah-dah! her parents supported and encouraged her study of dance, yoga, theatre and science.

Her studies culminated (but did not stop) when she earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy which allowed her to return to BCC as an instructor in Anatomy and Physiology. Now, Justine opens her heart to the BYDF community to contribute to your safe inquiry of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences life generously offers. Justine gives deep thanks to all who have created this moment and looks forward to working for you.
