Our Story
Owner Julie Townsend purchased The Base Yoga, previously known as Yoga Plus, in 2017. While working in the busy corporate world and traveling interstate most weeks, Julie found yoga over 10 years ago, attending a gym yoga class to simply 'give it a go.' Almost instantaneously, Julie found relief from chronic back pain, greater muscle flexibility, reduced stress levels and increased energy levels. Having attended prenatal yoga at Yoga Plus, Julie found an even greater connection to her practise and continued to grow that passion after the birth of her second child. It was shortly after that she commenced her Yoga Teacher Training with the Byron Yoga Centre. After gaining her Yoga Teaching accreditation, Julie began offering general yoga classes around the community in the City of Casey as a small business which she called The Base Yoga.
