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. 


In every dwelling we provide 1-2 beds clean sheets and warm blankets, pillows, table and chairs at least one outlet and solar lights for the canvas tents. Our extra communal space we call the cathedral it has been used as a yoga chale, workout space or late night dance area.

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.

This was a more beautiful experience than I ever could have imagined! Thank you Julie and Kirin for creating such a wonderful atmosphere. I met a lot of amazing women here. The yoga classes and other programming were excellent all week.
By Magdalena F for Soulful Yoga Retreat from Women on Feb 22, 2024
A fabulous experience—Julie and Kirin did such a good job creating a safe space for us to feel rejuvenated and connected to ourselves and each other. There was a good mix of standard yoga flow classes with other uplifting and empowering experiences including a pose lab, yoga nidra and hypnotherapy, and an introduction to the practice of somatics. The retreat center environment was stunning—we saw macaws every day and ate delicious, healthy food for every meal. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough and I hope to be able to return again next year!

It was wonderful! Fabulous yoga instructors/leader and great group of people. The resort was divine and Costa Rica was magnificent! Thank-you thank-you for a restful recharge.

I have been involved with Outdoor Yoga SF for around five years, attending local yoga classes at the beach and have now joined for two international retreats. Both in Costa Rica and both have been amazingly refreshing and rejuvenating. Even these words do not really do justice to how my body, mind and soul feel after spending time with only women and in such beautiful lush scenery. The Outdoor Yoga community is so special and attracts people of all backgrounds and various personalities all of whom value nurturing and nourishing our bodies and souls. The founder Julie and teacher extraordinaire Kirin make the retreat experience unique and special! My favorite parts of the retreat have been the level and mix of yoga and other exercises such as Barre or partner yoga, dance, reiki and background/education on foundational yoga poses. There are always opportunities to learn more such as with a somatic overview, tapping or hypnotherapy. My favorite part about these retreats is that there is no pressure for joining every single thing offered, but usually I want to go to everything! I am already over scheduled in my regular life that I don't want to feel that way on vacation. I honestly don't have a lot of feeback on ways to make these retreats better because Julie has already made them so special and will continue to eb and flow with new and fun opportunities. The food was great and healthy and the amount of exercise feels really good and a privilege. I will also say, when you travel you cannot guarantee anything and sometimes there may be issues; Julie is a strong advocate for her retreat members and will support you if there are any issues at all. The excursions offered were also a nice perk to this experience. Last year I rode a horse on the beach and on a hike to a waterfall and repelled down the waterfall; it was EPIC! Riding the horse through the fields with parrots and toucans all around felt very magical! The music and singing/chanting was also one of my favorite things about this space! The music is soothing and inspirational. Thank you so much Julie and Kirin for this abundant opportunity! I look forward to more <3

Absolutely life-changing! Julie and Kirin are truly one-of-a-kind human beings and it was one of the greatest joys of my life to spend a week learning from them and practicing with them. The picturesque location, nourishing food, and beautiful accommodations really set the stage for an unforgettable experience. The workshops, meditations, and yoga practices were all incredible resources I could seamlessly integrate into my daily life. The other women attending this retreat played a pivotal role in making my experience exceptional. The group radiated grace, vulnerability, acceptance, and openness. I am profoundly grateful for the connections formed during this retreat, and having these incredible individuals in my life is a true blessing. Julie and Kirin have a remarkable talent for bringing together like-minded and like-hearted people. It felt like every single persons' attendance was fateful and that this group was really meant to be there together. We had women join from all over and though a lot of us came to the trip solo- there was an immediate soul connection. This retreat served as a genuine reset for my life, and I believe it's such essential priority for our well-being- one I knew I needed but didn't realize how much I needed it until I was there and afterwards. To those hesitant about investing in such an experience, I can confidently say that the returns, in numerous and unexpected ways, are tenfold. The impact on your life is truly well worth the investment!

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.

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!

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.
