Welcome to Yulia Forde’s site dedicated to healing by acceptance and improving quality of life by means of Yoga and Ayurveda

Hi beautiful souls!

On this site I share the methods that I've been practicing for over 20 years to maintain physical and mental health as well as help others to do so. The methods are very diverse, so the resource turned out a little like a delicious pizza. However, the essence of all the methods is one – yoga, ancient science of achieving wholeness (that's where the word "health" comes from).

I am convinced that we are here to unfold true love which we all are in our core. And for this we just need to get rid of what doesn't belong to our true nature – our illusions of separateness, insufficiency and our cherished addiction to judgements. And this is exactly what yoga is aimed at — attaining true wholeness within ourselves and with the whole Universe.

For me life itself is a path of yoga. So my practice does not only happen on the yoga mat, and not necessarily doing some super-twistasana or infinite breath retentions. My practice is acceptance and authenticity in every single moment of my life.

It is the way of developing awareness, humility and compassion towards yourself and towards the others. It is the Road to Damascus, demanding a lot of courage to open your eyes to your whole «uncensored» self with all shadows, wounds, and vulnerabilities. As long as you are ready to face your fears and ready to make stops and behold the moment as it is, without any judgement.

I've been developing both a scientific and intuitive approach to the practice of yoga and especially yoga therapy, combining them into a single yogic (=holistic) method.

How did I come to be a yoga teacher and yoga therapist? I came to this on a very winding path. From a forgotten childhood dream of becoming a doctor, through working as a lawyer and learning many painful lessons that my body taught me. And I'm still not a wizard, I'm just learning! I learn with every breath I take. I study and I thank God and Life and everyone who meets me on this path, teaches me and learns with me.

This is a study that lasts more than one life, perhaps. It happens here and now, at every moment of our lives, with every single breath we take and give. And basically - that's all you need on this path: to live here and now, on Earth, and remember Whose beloved child each of us is. And daily yoga practice helps great deal to stay present to this greatness of ours.

I wish you peace and joy.

OM SHANTI
