Julie Nogueira is a E-RYT 500-hour yoga instructor and the Owner of Blue Lotus Yoga Studio. 

Julie's personal practice began at the Baron Baptiste Studio in Cambridge, MA, where she trained with Gregor Singleton. After more than a decade of consistent practice, she received her 200-hour certification through Charm City Yoga. 

In May 2021, Julie completed the BLYS 300-hour Advanced YTT to earn her RYT 500-hour accreditation. She also completed an additional 50 hours of yin yoga training led by TJ Maher in 2017. Locally, her teachers include Kim Manfredi and Camille Moses-Allen, and she has attended trainings led by dozens of influential instructors including Seane Corn, Baron Baptiste, Beryl Bender Berch, Tiffany Cruikshank and Kathryn Budig.

Prior to entering the world of studio ownership, Julie worked as a business consultant and later as a Marketing Manager for a large publishing firm in Boston. After the birth of her first child, Julie transitioned to a career as a freelance business writer and graphic designer.

In addition to running the day-to-day operations of BLYS, teaching yoga classes and leading retreats, Julie enjoys spending time with her husband, their three sons, and their two spoiled rotten Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
