11Exhale, a sanctuary created by Julianne Arce, whose own path of resilience and renewal mirrors the journeys of those she guides. Julianne's story isn't just about overcoming; it's about rediscovering one's strength, embracing change, and inspiring others to do the same.
Julianne's journey began in the shadows of adversity—navigating the aftermath of military service, facing the challenges of PTSD, and embracing motherhood under trying circumstances. Yoga and meditation became her refuge, a lifeline that offered not just physical healing but a profound sense of peace and empowerment. Her transformation was not a swift change but a gradual awakening to her potential and purpose. It was this realization that led her to pivot from law school to the world of yoga, driven by a desire to share the gift of transformation she had experienced.
When Julianne moved from Washington State to California in 2017, it wasn't just a change of scenery; it was a leap towards realizing a vision of creating a global yoga community. 11Exhale became more than a studio—it became a movement. Through international yoga teacher training retreats, Julianne has since welcomed students from every corner of the globe, each with their unique story and journey towards transformation.
11Exhale's retreats are designed as a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and community connection. They are spaces where every breath is an invitation to explore deeper, where every pose is an opportunity to discover strength you never knew you had, and where every moment is a chance to connect with like-minded souls. Julianne believes that the true power of yoga goes beyond physical flexibility; it's about cultivating resilience, inner peace, and the courage to embrace life's changes.
But 11Exhale's story isn't just Julianne's to tell—it's also the story of countless individuals who have found strength, clarity, and community through their practice. It's the story of a single mother finding balance, a veteran finding peace, and a young professional finding their calling. It’s a testament to the inclusive, empowering nature of 11Exhale, welcoming all, regardless of their yoga experience, to join in this journey of transformation.
