About Jules --- Jules Schmidt has dedicated her adult life in helping others discover the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Jules' passion for well-body living began at an early age. Her father, in the mid 70's, incorporated yoga postures as a component for his high school football team's conditioning program in Daytona Beach, FL. As a way to spend time together, Jules and her mother attended yoga and dance aerobics classes on a regular basis, as well as frequent power walks on the beach. Early on, Jules was quickly energized by the obvious benefits of positive physical living. From a student to instructor to trainer, Jules quickly developed her career in mind-body wellness. Throughout the years of practice, Jules enjoyed her fitness schedule on a personal level. As a mother of three young children and military wife, Jules found peace, connection and power through her daily practice. Her enthusiasm could not be contained. She decided it was time to share her energy, knowledge and gifts as a teacher with others. Jules developed Shanti Enrichment Series to enable others to grow in their yoga practice as a student or teacher. The program connects the physical body to the thoughts in the mind, bringing peace to the heart and connection with the spirit. The goal of the Yoga Power Teacher Training Enrichment Study is to assist one in discovering their personal power, purpose and peace. In addition to her directing her own yoga programs, Jules has coordinated fitness programs at various YMCAs, yoga studios and U.S. Military Bases throughout the world.
