I started my Italy trip on 10-16. The retreat started on 10-31. All I could think of was that I was honored to be part of this retreat in Puglia. Karen & Julie don’t miss a beat. They prepare such a beautiful practice leaving nothing out. We had lots of pure bliss in the studio practicing Yin & Nidra. We had lots of fun, laughter, and experiences that can never be forgotten. A retreat that Karen & Julie put together is a must. They fill your mind, body, & soul with such beauty & love. I will be looking forward to the next one.❤️

Hello Sherrie, how amazing that you could join us again in another beautiful part of the world! Thank you for your lovely feedback on our wonderful time together, in Puglia. It's always so special for us to create the space for these yoga retreats and the best part is getting to share in the joy of yoga, meditation, and genuine connection with everyone. Making memories together means the world to us! Thank you for being part of that magic. Grazie mille 💜 Julie e Karen

What an amazing retreat with Julie & Karen. They planned the most wonderful yoga practice for us in a very special place.They surprised us everyday, with so much abundance of heart opening love. A trip with them should not be missed, no matter where you travel. You can be sure this leads you to emotional, spiritual & physical well being.

I have enjoyed four separate retreats with Karen and Julie. All have been wonderful! It is clear the time and effort that they put into planning the trip, accommodations, excursions, and of course, the yoga practice. The daily practice is always just perfect and what you need for that particular day. I have also met wonderful people along the way. Thank you, Karen and Julie for creating such wonderful retreats with special memories and the perfect safe space and environment!

Hi Lisa, it’s been an absolute joy to have you with us on four different journeys now! Amazing! Thank you for trusting us with your time and your practice over the years. We put tons of love into ‘architecting’ these retreats … and then it’s the wonderful people like you who show up and turn a trip into a community. We are grateful for the special memories we’ve built together and can't wait to see you on your fifth retreat with us!

What a special experience with two amazing retreat leaders. Amatierra was so lovely. A beautiful yoga shala, delicious food mostly from their gardens - and freshly laid eggs, just the best. I highly recommend a retreat with Julie and Karen. It was my second retreat with them, and my first time in Costa Rica and I will definitely be back!

Hi Karen, thank you for your lovely review! We couldn’t agree more … we take time to choose locations that feel as special as AmaTierra, and we're thrilled it hit the mark for you. We’re thrilled you joined us again. Thank you for adding your joyful Pura Vida to our Costa Rica retreat!
