Justine Sanchez

After the birth of her son, Justine suffered a sciatic injury that brought her to her knees and to yoga. She found her teacher, Sofia Diaz, in 2002. Ever since, Sofia has continued to bring Justine to her knees in the consistent bow that IS Hatha yoga. It is with much gratitude to her teacher that Justine offers her practice as a teacher in and around the Boulder area. Justine lives at 9,260 ft in a straw bale home built by community in the Rocky Mountains. Living in close proximity to the elements, as well as the “chop wood/carry water” lifestyle, informs her practice and her offerings. Teaching in Colorado for the past 10 years, Justine’s offerings are honed towards strengthening and maintaining healthy bodies and aging gracefully. As well, her classes offer opportunities to contemplate how a bodily practice can inform our moods, inspirations, and life challenges. Of Inner Power Yoga®, Justine writes, "IPY means deepening my relationship to the Whole of Yoga. It is the opportunity to dive in to sacred texts, the sanskrit language, the psychology of yoga and meditation, the forms and styles of practice, and deep community conversation about the play of yoga. Inner Power Yoga means Opportunity and Growth in a deep and strong River of Lineage!
