Ashleigh Bello
Co-founder
Ashleigh Bello is a 200-hour certified Power Vinyasa Yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance and frequently participates in continued education. Her love for yoga blossomed as a student. She was first introduced to the practice in South Korea while working as an English teacher in 2012, then fell in love with hot yoga in New York.
Ashleigh has been teaching in Brooklyn studios since March 2021, with the number one goal to make you sweat, smile, and leave your mat with a positive mindset. She also works as a full-time marketing professional in healthcare and is the author of six epic fantasy books: The Belvedor Saga & A Myrmaid’s Kiss. A regular yoga practice helps her balance it all—one Ujayi breath at a time.
Jules Karp
Co-founder
Jules is a 500-hour certified Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga teacher and Level 2 Inferno Hot Pilates instructor. At 18 years old, Jules fell in love with yoga at an Ashram in South India and later that year completed her first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. She has a unique teaching style that incorporates elements of various yoga traditions she has studied ranging from Bhakti Vinyasa to Bikram Yoga. Jules has taught full-time in NYC, Miami, and San Diego and co-led several international yoga retreats.
Off the mat she is an avid traveler, moonlight DJ, freelance visual designer, and tea shop owner (spring-affair.com). She co-founded YBP with Ashleigh in 2023 and loves sharing her passion of movement and music with the Brooklyn community and beyond!
