Funky Yoga

Since a kid, Juliano developed drawing and writing skills that later he put in practice, when he designed his first collection of Galapagos products that included t-shirts, coffee mugs, travel bags, hats, posters, postcards and maps. In the mid-nineties he moved to Florence, Italy to study painting, sculpting and design. There he designed a T-shirt... line for an Italian Company featuring typical Italian topics such as animals, art, architecture and food.

After spending 3 sabbatical years in Europe and Costa Rica, he moved to Florida and circa the end of 2004 created a successful t-shirt line call Funky Urban Klothes inspired by South Beach elements and its vibrant summer colors and diversity.

He had the chance to practice almost every kind of yoga available in the USA and also studied to be a Yoga Teacher of a new modality called Skanda Yoga .

Since then, hundreds of people, studios and spas have enjoyed this fun line of garments. He has developed many non-profit projects to create community and give back to different NGOs, like Funky Yoga Ambassadors.
