What This Retreat Is All About
Whether you’re a serious practitioner, a movement teacher or just want a deep re-set for yourself, this weekend will fuel you with the power and inspiration for personal growth. Throughout my years of experience in yoga, movement and meditation practices I’ve learned that we can find ourselves in moments of stagnation. What used to light us on fire now just feels like a fading flame. We can get wrapped up in the busyness of everyday life and forget we need to nourish and nurture our personal growth and creativity.
In this weekend workshop, held at the beautiful Casa Gatti in Ticino you will be surrounded by a small group of like minded people ready to dive in and uncover what makes us feel stuck and allow our true nature to rise to the surface. (Max 10 participants)
Through asana, meditation, journaling, Brahmani Sacred Dance and self examination exercises you’ll feel like you’re stirring in the cocoon, ready to burst out in all your colours and vibrancy.
You’ll return home feeling inspired, vibrant, and ready to thrive.

Register"It is years since anyone has inspired me as you do, Julie. Both in my personal practice and as a teacher. I
am so grateful to you for rekindling my fire and expressing my yoga heart in everything you communicate, on
and off the mat."
"After a week-long retreat, I feel grounded, connected and grateful. It was a week that allowed me to think only about me and the strength of the circle of women around us. This allowed me to get a sense of what I want to manifest in my life. Your teachings were clear, sometimes challenging sometimes cheerful, but always with an end of great life lessons. I thank you for so much beauty you give us and ready for new retreats."

About Julie
I'm here to invite you into a practice that embraces your individuality and curiosity. An EMBODIED Yoga based on a sensory experience, free from outdated dogma and limited linear structures.
Raised as a Vendatist, I grew up immersed in the philosophy of yoga. In my 20's I began to practice asana and research different ways of moving while studying the history of yoga. The resulting discovery is that yoga is EVOLVING and always has, so we have permission to explore these practices, challenge the myths, and move forward with knowledge and awareness.
My mission is to EMPOWER your practice. To help find your own pace, fluidity, and strength in a structure that is an invitation, not a rule. Tap into your curiosity and trust your experience to take charge of your practice on and off the mat.
