About Jules and Julie
Jules Febre was born and raised in a section of New York City known as the Lower East Side. He grew up in the L.E.S. during a very rough period surrounded by violence, drugs and a general atmosphere of anger. At the age of 13, Jules spent three months in India; two of which were spent in Mysore studying Ashtanga Yoga with Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois. During that time he was invited to share satsang with Swami Nirmalananda and Shyam Das, two radical yogis that have each helped to add to the progression of yoga in the West. At the age of 16 Jules began working at the Jivamukti Yoga School helping to clean, by 21 had become the general manager of two Jivamukti Yoga Schools and eventually became the C.O.O of Jivamukti Inc. in New York City. After years of working behind a desk Jules realized his need was to be with others in a more hands on relationship and took the 350 hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher training. After completing the extensive one month training, he completed a six month apprentice program and became an Advanced Certified Jivamukti teacher.

Julie Kirkpatrick has been a student of Jivamukti Yoga since its inception, about 23 years ago. Under close and patient guidance by the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, David Life and Sharon Gannon, Julie completed Jivamukti Teacher Training in 2003, apprenticed with Certified Jivamukti Teacher Natalie Ullman, and became Advanced Certified in 2005. Julie enthusiastically shares a deep understanding of the Jivamukti method, a method which at its core leads us to become liberated while being alive.
