Julia-Rose Gribble

What's your name and role at MAMA?

Hi, I'm Julia (she/her), Mums & Bubs Yoga teacher at MAMA, Kensington.

What inspired you to work at MAMA?

I began practising yoga as an aid for reducing stress and anxiety. Through these explorations, I felt compelled to delve deeper; to find more of the equilibrated state of being I experienced, by inviting yogic practices and teachings into my daily life.

What are you passionate about at MAMA?

Yoga has greatly supported me throughout my pregnancies and into motherhood, and this, along with my experience as a teacher, energises a particular passion for holding space and educating women on the benefits of yoga, empowering them to trust their bodies and innate capabilities.

What are your favourite things about your role?

MAMA holds a special place in my heart as I chose to have the support and guidance of the MAMA team to deliver my second baby at home. The team are incredibly warm. The power of a supportive community is at the core of my beliefs, to encourage collaboration, co-learning and the building of strong interpersonal connections in serving both individual and collective wellbeing.

Where would we find you outside of MAMA?

When I’m not working, you can find me outdoors with my two boys and husband - we like mini getaways and natural environments to explore together. I also enjoy baking nutritious treats and involving my kids.
