New Year Blissful Recharge

A soulful yoga retreat for healing, rest, renewal, play and adventure.

As teachers, Nicole and Julie see the incredible opportunity that multi-day yoga retreats offer. Ultimately, we are offering a way of reconnecting to the deepest and innate part of you. A week of keeping life pretty simple, with room for release and inspiration from the wisdom teachings to connect to what is most aligned for you, in the present moment. And receive the blessing of being at home in this wild and rugged nature haven, to reconnect to wonder, possibility, and your innately creative and joyful spirit.

Along with thoughtfully designed movement sessions and yogic philosophy, you can look forward to dharma talks, journaling, and inspired conversation. Of high value is creating an environment of inclusivity, healthy inquiry, and exploration of mind, body, and spirit (and don’t be surprised if we have some FUN while we’re at it! 🙂

Come and immerse yourself in this remarkable opportunity to retreat and receive the nourishing benefits of yoga, meditation, reiki, and community on the jungle coastline of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Indulge in a full week of renewal at the stunning oasis of tranquility that is Blue Osa luxury eco-retreat center. We will have (at least) 2 group sessions to surf at an incredible local beach – great for beginners and all surfers, ride horses on the beach, repel down waterfalls, and adventure to your heart’s content 🙂

Upon waking at Blue Osa, you can walk just a short distance to the ocean and watch the sunrise. The beautifully designed, 2nd story spacious yoga shala has wide panoramic views of the ocean. After yoga, or throughout the afternoon you can slip into the warm, refreshing glorious ocean- with views of mountains all around, and scarlet macaws and other jungle birds flying by.

We so look forward to meeting you here and relishing this beautiful opportunity together. Every retreat transforms and renews us in deeply nourishing ways. We are SO grateful to get to do this, and with you! We look forward to welcoming you here and on this adventure 🙂

About Your Yoga Instructor:

Julianne

“I draw on the contemplative traditions of classical yoga, reiki, Ayurveda, positive psychology, and an integrative approach to wellness – addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

I guide individuals and groups towards thriving through classes, workshops and retreats with the tools of yoga, philosophy workshops – my favorite!! and mindfulness practice that elevates the inner environment. We release stress, become aware of thoughts and habitual patterns, support the nervous system, and soak in the greatness of being supported in the community. We free up energy – expanding our comfort zone, we come to know our own great potential.”

“Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Thank you Julie and Kirin for drawing such great people to your retreats and creating such a special week with incredible yoga, adventures and all of your care. I will definitely be joining you on another retreat.”

“A spiritual journey of growth and self discovery and friendship enabled by a yoga retreat that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The location (Blue Osa in Costa Rica) was peaceful, inviting and liberating. The logistics were exceptional, and the communication was clear throughout.

The yoga sessions were wonderful, comprehensive, challenging, but still doable for all levels. Julie and Kirin are an inspirational dynamic duo, and incorporated yoga philosophy in a way that gave substance and foundation to the daily practice of yoga . There also was plenty of time and opportunity for deep reflection throughout.

I formed powerful and meaningful friendships in such a short time, as we were collectively and irrevocably bonded by this experience of yoga practice, growth, and ubiquitous healing. After a week, I leave with newfound strength , resilience, flexibility and growth; not just physically but - perhaps even more importantly - spiritually. Would go ahead in a heartbeat. Namaste!”

“Julie created something so beautiful and beyond what I even knew I needed. I have no words. It was literally everything I had hoped for and more. My soul is still so alive from this time here. Julie is a true teacher, to herself and the yoga practice she shares, and creates such a safe and fun space for everyone, no matter where they're at in their yoga journey. The location and resort were the perfect setting for such a MAGICAL experience. Alex and his team at Blue Osa really take care of you and are aligned with making sure your experience is nothing short of pure bliss. Only endless praises. Seemingly impossible I know, but for real, it is truly life changing!”
