Julian has been teaching yoga since 1994 and practicing Mind-Body Healing since 1997. He studied under Ana Forrest from 1992 to 1998 and
was certified by her to teach. Influenced by American Buddhism, Tantra, and Transpersonal Psychology, Julian has led workshops across the United States and in Canada and has been training teachers and bodyworkers since 2001.

He weaves sacred poetry, world music, mythology and psycho-spiritual themes into his deep stretch and flow yoga classes and is well known for his "Funky Friday" class that includes ecstatic dance.
Julian is the creator of Open Sky Bodywork, is the author of an 8 CD audio program called Radical Transformation: A Map to Mind-Body Ecstasy, which is a modern interpretation of the chakra system. He is also currently hard at work on a book about the rich relationships between brain science, spiritual practice and embodied psychology.

Julian's online blog includes articles that have exceeded 25 thousand readers on subjects from integral spirituality to movie reviews to depth psychology - his most widely read pieces are an interpretation of the movie Pan's Labyrinth based in Jungian Psychology and world mythology and a critique of the pop spiritual culture phenomenon The Secret. As a result of this online work, he was featured in 2006 on the Integral Naked website in an audio interview with the well-known philosopher and significant intellectual Ken Wilber.

Julian co-teaches both the Living Yoga Teacher Training at Santa Monica Yoga (with Kyra Haglund and Nancy Goodstein) and (with Hala Khouri) the Urban Yogi Training in Mind-Body Yoga at Esalen Institute.
