About
“You yourself, as much as anybody, in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection.”
~ Buddha
Many years after walking in to her first yoga class, Justine Zilliken feels so honored to now take the seat of the teacher in bringing the gift of yoga to students throughout Southern Nevada.
Having experienced the profound mind, body and spiritual enrichment yoga made within her life, Justine had a desire to share what she found through yoga with others. After being strongly encouraged by her own teachers, Justine signed up for her first Teacher Training. From the first day of training, she knew she had found her true passion! After completing the Vinyasa Teacher Training, Justine immediately focused on finding a program dedicated to deepening her study of yoga. This led her to graduate from the Yoga Alliance* 200-hour Teacher Training certification program at Stress Management Center of Nevada, Nevada’s only 200 and 500 hour registered teacher training school.
Justine creates a nurturing and empowering space for everyone, from seasoned practitioners to those taking their first step on to the mat, to enjoy yoga. She teaches her students how to tap into their innate strength through kindness and patience with themselves and others. Her greatest pleasure is introducing new students to yoga so they can discover how the practice brings vitality, joy and balance — on and off the mat. With her more advanced students, Justine relishes the opportunity to further deepen their practice through alignment revisions, more challenging asana sequencing and pranayama (breath work). Carve out some time to relax, renew and rejoice with Justine!
As you begin your journey along the path of yoga, Justine is delighted to share the adventure with you! With a warm, generous heart, Justine considers herself to be the “gentle Tour Guide” who happily shows you the way to a safe, fulfilling and joyful practice. This is done by creating a warm and welcoming environment where laughter is encouraged. Justine can often be heard quoting Steve Ross, Founder of Maha Yoga in Los Angeles, in her class when she says, “Yoga without laughter is just a lot of hard work!"
What resonates within Justine’s teaching style is the importance for self-acceptance and a joyful heart. Justine believes that yoga is not about placing your leg behind your head! It is about being present with your body, your breath and allowing it to unfold exactly as it is meant to be in this moment. Not as you wish it would or would like it to, but just as it is. Without judgment and expectation, but simply with gratitude and joy. That is why it is called a yoga PRACTICE and not a yoga PERFECT!
Justine welcomes forward to sharing your practice with you soon!
