Relax ✨ Reset ✨ Recharge
In a world fixated on doing, you need time to simply be. To get away. Invite space. And see YOUR life from a new perspective.
When’s the last time you took a real-life “time out”? Not a few minutes, but a few DAYS to learn something new about your journey and focus on YOUR well-being? Time to breathe, clear your mind, nourish your body. To let go of that inner critic and release what's holding you back. And be inspired by other beautiful souls who needed a break, just as much as you do!
On retreat you'll experience simple self-care techniques that can make a big difference. We'll explore the secrets YOUR personal astrology holds (the energy of the cosmos that's in you and knows why you're here). And learn to elevate your energy and step into the personal power that's your birthright.

Taking time for self-care is not a luxury.
Self-care is essential to your physical, mental and emotional health. Especially these days, with "burnout" being so common it's classified as an official medical diagnosis. You deserve time. To feel your best. To remember what matters most. And to shine bright, for you and everyone who counts on you.
Ready for a care-free, expertly guided adventure inward?
Picture this. A nourishing weekend away, entirely dedicated to YOUR well-being. Intentionally infused with just the right yoga, insights and introspection to shake something loose. To awaken your curiosity and creativity. Gain a fresh perspective. Discover what's holding you back. And study YOUR personal astrology to reconnect to your inspiration. To start habits that reduce stress, improve your focus and feel more joy and gratitude. So you can return home, well-rested, refreshed, and confident that you can rise above it all and shine bright!
-
Arrive, check out your arrival gifts and settle in to your beautiful suite. Explore the lake front, enjoy arrival snacks, then reconnect mind and body with Yoga to Unwind.
-
Ease into new possibilities with Fit & Flexible, the yoga tailored to your unique needs with the right props and expert advice for all the benefits, without the strain. Intentionally designed to help you connect to your authentic energy, to release stress and uncover the inspiration you need most.
-
This retreat is a fantastic way to learn yoga (even for brand new beginners!)
Imagine how you'll feel after being pampered like this:
You know that fabulous "after-yoga" feeling? Relaxed, recharged and ready for whatever comes?
-
Grow your yoga skills confidently, backed by friendly guidance from a certified Yoga Therapist in our optional hands-on Interactive Yoga Workshops
-
Learn to adapt yoga poses and alignment in real-time to fit your unique needs, so your at-home practice gives you just the right challenge, without the strain
All practices & sessions are optional on retreat. Do as much or as little as you need.
-
The afternoon is yours. Read. Relax. Hike. Bike. Enjoy an amazing massage, right onsite. Or take in a Yoga Workshop to get answers & advice about deepening your yoga practice
-
Enjoy a pre-dinner practice to invite the energy you need most and release the rest, little by little. Yoga that literally calms your body, so it can benefit from the delicious nourishment ahead.

In our discovery and self-care sessions, discover tools and techniques you can do everyday on your own to stay aligned and balanced in "real life".
-
Discover what insights YOUR unique natal chart holds about who you are and why you're here. It is said that the planets and stars aligned at your birth to imprint the energy you need for your journey. I'm fascinated by that energy. Once you feel into your unique energy, it's AMAZING how with every lunar cycle, there's more to learn, understand and appreciate about who you are and why you're here. And so beautiful how it opens love and compassion for all of you (especially the parts you've wanted to disown for so long!).
-
Learn how Ayurveda (lifestyle as medicine) suggests to balance your unique system. How intentions and mantra can help you avoid the pitfalls of unrealistic expectations and negative self-talk. How perfection gets in your way. And the power your story holds in manifesting your best life.
Brand new beginner? Perfect! Start off right, with in-person expert coaching to adapt the yoga to fit you.
Ready to upgrade your practice? Wonderful! Deepen your practice and grow your skills with confidence.
What my students say
Leah Brown
My Mom & I took our first yoga retreat together! In the opening yoga practice Julie asked "What does it feel like to do less than you can?" As someone who's spent most of my life trying to achieve the next thing, that really spoke to me.
This retreat was a gift I gave myself. It was so nurturing to be away from all the "To-Dos"at home, eat delicious food (made & cleaned up by someone else!) and take space to dream about the life I want for myself and my family. I left feeling more aligned with my own priorities. And I'm learning things like how to do less. Quite an accomplishment for this overachiever!
Terry DeGroot
As a Type A it can be difficult for me to take time for myself. But I decided to make that a priority, and signed up for my first retreat ever. There I met amazing women from all walks of life and was surrounded by positive energy. We ate amazing healthy food and went home with great recipes. But even better, I learned to appreciate my body for what it is. Julie taught me how focusing on my breathing can be so calming yet powerful when I'm stressed, anxious or can't sleep. In fact, yoga has been so calming for me that my sister recently asked me why I was so chill. My answer: “Yoga with Julie”.

Molly Fischer
Julie’s spring retreat was an amazing reprieve and gift to myself…an opportunity for total self-care and a much needed reminder that I am “enough” just as I am; worthy and deserving of abundance. I left that peaceful lakeside setting feeling cared for on a deep level, both physically and emotionally…and inspired to carry that feeling forward to the everyday business and demands of life.

What my students say
Judith Anderson
No matter your age or yoga experience, taking time for a retreat rejuvenates the mind, body and spirit. I'm in my late 70's wasn't the oldest one there. I enjoyed the yoga, health topics and meditation for looking inward. The meals were delicious and healthy. This was a much needed get away to relax, meet new people and enjoy lively conversation.
Jeanne Eggert
With the challenges of pandemic and a fast-paced, demanding career I was feeling stressed and a bit overwhelmed. But until I came on this retreat I had no idea JUST HOW MUCH I needed this! Time to decompress, really relax and let go of tension I didn't even realize I had. And it was SO FUN to make new friends who felt more like family by the time we left. In fact, we all wanted to stay longer!
Don't miss out! Join the amazing women who carve out time from their busy lives to say YES to self-care. Because your health matters too.
Nothing is more important than your health
Let’s face it. You can only give what you’ve got. Truly, there's never been a better time to invest in your health.
The human system simply wasn't built to endure the on-going stressors of living through pandemic. Medical experts (like the Mayo Clinic) say that stress may be impacting your mind, body, mood and behaviors even more than you know. And left unchecked, this can lead to health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Yet, it's completely manageable. You just need the right tools, and time to use them.
You deserve time time away. To relax. To be inspired. To receive the care you so readily give to others. And to build your resilience. For yourself, and for everyone who counts on you.
