About this trip

Nature Camp for women of all ages to come play, rejuvenate and celebrate being alive!


What you can expect.. Soulful yoga, morning guided practices with liberating movement so you can breathe and move intuitively, gracefully, powerfully... 

Afternoons recharging and powering back up with cold river dunks and relaxing on the rocks together! Late afternoon song circles. Mouthwatering meals, enjoyed slowly. Campfire Songs. Dreaming under the stars... 


Nature, embodied yoga and movement practices, breath, song and sisterhood are the medicine for this weekend retreat. And I'm giddy with excitement for this opportunity for a magical weekend together.


The set and setting is so important to me.. as I want retreats to feel like we are in celebration of life with this beautiful earth, with the waters, with fire - sitting around the campfire, watching stars, in healthy rhythm with movement and music, and really rejoicing in co-creating with nature. Like kids camp, for us. To me that's spiritual!


It will be lighthearted, peaceful, playful, and a great time to reconnect to you and with wonderful people. And as always, with space to arrive perfectly as you are, and that all parts of us are welcome - the grieving, the sweet, the bitter, the undigested, the fear and love. 


This retreat is open to all ages of women, and some yoga experience is recommended.    


The incredible space:  

- Indoor cathedral space for yoga 

- Sauna, hot tub and cold plunge!!  

- A variety of unique, rustic sleeping arrangements that feel like plush camping 

- Beautifully prepared, organic plant-based meals for the weekend. Including a treat of brick oven pizza (gluten free available) on Saturday night. 

- Boat ride during the day on Saturday to private little beach with hiking  

- Evening campfire hangs!   



About the Property:

We have an epicurean, peaceful, partially permaculture backyard garden orchard and entertaining event center. We are nestled in the sierra foothills 5 minutes from the middle fork of the yuba river and Bullards Bar Resivoir either direction from Old Toll Rd.


 The hub of the outdoor entertaining area is the kitchen and patio surrounded and including pizza oven, restaurant stovetop, sauna, bathouse, multiple outdoor tubs, 3 outdoor showers as well as private facilities inside the cabin with a flushing toilet. The outside facilities is an outhouse to share amongst the guests that are residing in all the glampsites other than the main cabin.

More Details..

- This will be a group of just 18 women.  

- I've held many retreats over the years, and the coming together of kind-hearted, creative people has resulted in so many beautiful friendships and circles of friends. If you are looking for more community, this may be perfect for you. 

- All meals will be plant-based, gluten and dairy free. Meat and dairy options will be available at some meals. 

- Alcohol will not be served. If you'd like to enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, you're welcome to bring and enjoy 1 or 2 drinks with dinner.  

- If you don't have a car, there will be a spreadsheet where you can ask for a ride. I can't guarantee a ride will be available, and at the same time, we've never had someone book and not be able to find a ride. 

- This includes lodging, 6 meals and snacks, all classes, and our coordination of this experience to make it really special for you!!   


Bonus -- I have heard many times over that people make really wonderful friends on retreats. Wonderful groups come together, and if you're looking to build community, it's here/ we're here for you.

I draw on the contemplative traditions of reiki, meditation, yoga, nutrition, positive psychology and integrative wellness to address the entire human experience - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I teach a steady, strong and spirited vinyasa class. Classes are thoughtfully designed to the seasons and time of day. You can expect to chant, sweat, feel your heart come alive and learn new elements of yoga philosophy in each class. I also love teaching restorative yoga and yoga nidra in late afternoons and evenings on retreat.

Julie and Kirin facilitated a fabulous week at Blue Osa and I feel unbelievably grateful for the safe and inviting space they created in a very magical part of the world. I didn't know a single other participant taking the trip and found that there were many other women in my shoes who joined the retreat. There was an incredible age range and women who had a wide variety of job types and life experiences to share. We all got along so so well and Julie and Kirin did an incredible job teaching yoga classes to match student's needs as well as opportunities to connect and be held in a safe and supportive environment. Our time together went far beyond yoga classes. Dance and barre classes were offered and beautiful, heartfelt and tender chants were sung together at the yoga shala with a harmonium and those songs filled my soul in a powerful way. I would love to attend another retreat with Julie in the future!!

This all-women yoga retreat was definitely food for the soul: highly recommend to those who want to spend a week at a retreat where you nourish your body and spirit. Most of us woke to greet the sunrise; there was silence until 9:30 am, meditation at 7:30 followed by a flow class. In the afternoons was another class, usually more restorative. Julie Aiello is a wonderful person and was a fantastic instructor and leader. Most of us were strangers to each other but we quickly connected to create an inclusive and beautiful circle of friends.

I had the amazing opportunity to travel with and for a yoga retreat with Outdoor Yoga SF to blue Osa. Both the retreat and the location was everything I wanted and needed. The blue osa resort is gorgeous and right on the beach for little to no travel once you land there. It’s close to the airport and excursions aren’t far either. I did a horse ride excursion to a waterfall and repelled down and it was only down the street and an unforgettable memory! The food is divine and delish as well as nourishing. The staff are kind and intentional. The spa was also rejuvenating and the salt scrub left me smooth and relaxed. So many wonderful things I can say about this retreat and resort ! It was everything and more!

Julie and Kirin create a space where everyone feels comfortable regardless of age or level of yoga experience. We had people from age 26-73 and we all bonded deeply because Julie and Kirin create warmth and openness for all. And the fact that the retreat is in beautiful Costa Rica doesn’t hurt. Blue Osa is beautiful and the food is healthy and yummy. I highly recommend this retreat.

I recently returned from an incredible 7 day retreat at the wonderful Blue Osa in Costa Rica, hosted by Julie and Kirin. The community formed in a week amongst 15 women, ranging in age from 23-73, without expectation, and trusting something was there for all of us, was truly magical and something I have never experienced. Julie and Kirin created a safe space for us to share our grief, tender spots, goals and vulnerability. This retreat was long overdue for me, as a mom of two young girls, it truly was one of the best experiences of my life. The retreat gave me the space to be held in nature, by new friends, through delicious healthy meals and most importantly fill my cup first so I can give back to my family and those around me. Julie and Kirin are authentic, loving and inspiring in their own unique way, it was truly a gift to be able to practice alongside them and a group of beautiful women. I highly recommend any retreat with Julie and Kirin as it will change your life forever!

Julieanne and Kirin's retreats are the perfect blend of soul food style movement, downtempo relaxation time in a gorgeous environment, friendship, delicious healthy food and fun. I can not provide a higher endorsement for a trip with these women and feel so lucky to have experienced multiple yoga vacations. Honestly, the most relaxing, deeply nourishing and low stress trips of my life. If you are reading this.....just book the damn trip. You will not be disappointed.

Since returning from Kauai, I have felt a sense of retreat throughout my days. Peace and serenity weave through my day, easing the stress from work and everyday tasks. I am motivated and inspired to continue what I have learned on the retreat and bring it into my daily life. This retreat showed me what it was like to take care of myself and ultimately how that will help me to take care of those around me. From eating healthy meals, to practicing yoga regularly, to calming my mind and practicing kind observations. A huge thank you to Julie for her care and support during the retreat. It was a treat being able to spend this time with her guiding our group. She was prepared and had lots of information and goodies to share, yet was flexible and open to changing the itinerary based on the needs of the group and the weather. Her knowledge of yoga, the island, cooking, and many other great things kept us inspired and in awe. I would recommend a retreat with Julie to anyone with a curious mind, an open heart, and anyone who wants to truly relax and retreat in a healthy and rejuvenating way.
