Julia Kandah

Julia is our son’s OT and is just amazing. She became our OT after going through a few different ones over the span of a year at CSLOT (turnover) and it was disheartening each time — having him adjust to a new person. However, with Julia he’s really attached from the beginning and making great progress in the sessions. We also tried Yoga and while he’s too young, look forward to trying again in a few months. She is very gentle, caring, and understanding with him.

Julia is an amazing yoga teacher. Her love and compassion for each student can be felt even after class is long over. I have had the privilege of taking many classes of Julia’s at Square One and she has challenged me to become the greatest yogi I can be without putting pressure on myself to keep up with my neighbor in class. She makes all levels of yogis feel comfortable and very challenged. Taking her class will be the best decision you make this week!

I discovered Julia through Square One Yoga in San Leandro and have taken her Hatha Flow Yoga classes there as well as more recently her meditation workshop. Her yoga class is great! I am pretty much a complete beginner and I find it just challenging enough which I really like. She’s a great teacher, calm, friendly, approachable, thoughtful and gives great instruction and help.
If her meditation workshop comes around again I would also recommend it to anyone interested. For a beginner who had tried a few times practicing on my own I usually found myself frustrated. Her class allowed us to discuss our fears, frustrations and questions. We discussed different types of meditation and I appreciated that we actually put them into practice in class thereby allowing us a venue to openly discuss whatever came up for us and to begin finding a style that really resonated with each of us.

Julia Kandah is an amazing yoga teacher. I’ve had the privilege of attending her yoga classes, and I’m grateful for her constant loving and gentle care as she guides us through each pose. She reminds us to be compassionate to our bodies and honor ourselves on the mat. Julia teaches at Square One Yoga in San Leandro, and we are so lucky to have an authentic, gentle, caring person to guide us through our yoga journey.
Julia recently hosted a 2 day meditation workshop, and I was really impressed with how she provided different meditation techniques for us to try out. Her guided meditation was awesome as she has a soothing and healing voice.
I highly recommend that you check out her yoga class and workshops. She is also a Reiki practitioner!

Julia is truly a natural healer. She taught a free community yoga class while we were both living in Ann Arbor, and I was lucky enough to regularly attend. Her class brought together folks in the community, friends from near and far, and those who would otherwise not have had the chance to participate in such a necessary practice of health for body and spirit. She was always gentle and attentive to everyone, but also pushed us to go beyond our comfort zone and really get the most possible out of the class. I haven’t been able to find as good of a class since then — and I probably never will!
