Hello!  We are Julie and Amanda – mother/daughter and friends for life.
Our tranquil home studio is nestled very close to Toohey Forest in Tarragindi, Brisbane, 10 minutes from the CBD.
Many many many years ago we had the spark of an idea to create a supportive safe space for friendship, learning, growth, exploration, strengthening, softening and empowerment.
What began as a tiny spark of passion many years ago has grown into Juma Health & Yoga.
JUMA combines the JU of Julie’s name and the MA of Amanda’s name (most people call her Manda) but this name does have another meaning…
Both of us read a book called ‘Annapurna’, an inspiring account about a group of women trekking together in the Himalayas during the 70’s.  Each woman carried in their backpack a ‘Jumar’ clip – a device that was used to clip one woman onto the next as a way of supporting each another as they ascended the mountain known as Annapurna.  That powerful story stayed with us and has become part of our story.  We give great thanks for those women who paved their path and countless others (men and women) who have shared these ancient and modern practices, sharing their wisdom to enrich the lives of others.  In 2023 we trekked part of the Annapurna trail, known as Poon Hill, in Nepal as part of a retreat and it was a truly amazing experience!

  • Just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for having known you. I am thankful for your extensive knowledge and your gift for knowing of what each individual is in need. I really enjoyed the class on Sunday. Especially the letting go process. I thought you might like to see my glued project. Thank you once again for your generosity and caring nature.

  • I've been a member of the Juma family for 10+ years and can't imagine my life without my weekly Yoga Practice. Amanda, our amazing teacher, puts so much time, effort and research into each of our lessons, her extensive knowledge of Yoga styles is reflected in her practice, we not only get to experience the Yoga moves, but understand which part of the body benefits from them, as well as learning about the Gods and Godesses of Yoga. Each week is different so you never get bored, we are informed, we are enlightened and we are enriched. The Venue is a tranquil tropical paradise, which immediately has a calming effect to enable you to relax and enjoy every aspect of your Yoga Practice. Thank you Amanda!

  • Where do we start, with the warm chai latte's, the friendly and welcoming smiles, too many downward dogs to count (but we did anyway), those thigh busting squats, and my favourite SAVASANA (Ahh). The food, the fun, the laughter, all within the space of JUMA, encouraged by Julie and Amanda. Retreats are another matter, with yoga practice, pottery and creative vision boards. Open log fires, sharing stories and wine of course! All surrounded by love, joy and peace. It is always worth being part of JUMA.

  • A serendipitous gift introduced me to Juma almost 10 years ago and I have been enjoying yoga classes with Amanda ever since. At the end of each session I usually float home, calm, relaxed, yet energised. Amanda is a dedicated and generous teacher who always inspires, with some yogi wisdom along the way - I hope I can continue for another 10 years...

  • Juma Health & Yoga is not just a yoga studio, it’s an experience! It’s a beautiful space to relax, learn and connect to like minded people. With so many online options available, I urge you to take the step to re-connect with real people. The benefits are amazing! I work full time in a demanding role, am a mum to teenagers and have a desire to squeeze a lot into my day, but making time for my weekly yoga class I believe, is crucial to my health and well being. Amanda is an experienced teacher and has a true passion to share the benefits and beliefs of yoga. I’ve been one of Amanda’s yogis for over 5 years and in that time, I’ve improved my balance, focus and flexibility. I have a new appreciation of breathing and relaxing. Amanda’s teaching has encouraged me become a more positive and honest version of me and I’ve met some pretty amazing people along on the way!
