Hi, I’m Urszula
In the search for answers to many of life’s challenging questions, including how to raise a child with severe food allergies, and how to heal from chronic Lyme disease, I turned my struggles into a passion and a calling. As a former professional dancer, it was easy for me to learn and practice something that felt natural to me - a creative, mindful, and healing movement called yoga. I became a certified Yoga Teacher, learned Ayurvedic healing system, and studied holistic nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and principles of health and wellness coaching. I am enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and experience as well as empowering people to take charge of their health and transform life’s difficulties into opportunities to grow.
You can find me teaching yoga classes, workshops, and retreats, giving wellness lectures, speaking at community and professional networking events, writing, and very often in my kitchen making healthy food for my husband and my two sons. I live in Colorado where I admire the beauty and power of the Rocky Mountains, but I often dream about walking barefoot on a warm sandy beach in my favorite place – St. Augustine, FL.

What People Are Saying
“I started taking classes with Urszula two years ago and continued when we were forced to go virtual because of the pandemic. Although I miss the sense of community I enjoyed from in-person classes, I continue to enjoy Urszula’s teaching style and calm and centered demeanor. I always feel calmer (and yet energized) after her classes and look forward to taking them whenever I can. She has a great set-up and the audio and visual are clear.”
— Anne Angelopulous, Longmont CO
“I had previously known about and tried Yoga but it never made my list of priority exercise goals until I was recently introduced to Urszula. She understood very quickly where I was coming from and taught me how to embrace yoga in a way that made it both constructive and enjoyable. Her emphasis on personal goals and achievement with different ways of arriving there was a revelation. I am moving forward with a whole new set of intentions (no longer goals) convinced that this newfound practice will continue to enhance the quality of my life.”
— Tony K., Longmont CO
"Urszula has a calm and direct style. She looks at you in the eyes. Urszula asks great questions and she will ask further questions to make sure she understands what the client means; she also interprets one's body language to comment on the emotional elements of one's statements. Urszula offers options when discussing a program she is proposing for a client to begin or use. She takes her time to review previous client work before proceeding to another step of the process."
