Testimonials

info

Could not have asked for a better experience. The retreat location in Martina Franca welcomed us as family. Karen and Julie have a special talent for finding these gems. The food was astonishingly good! The side trips were great fun! Then, we enjoy Karen and Julie's special yoga; what an amazing team! Thank you! K and J are my favorite essential vitamins!

What a fabulous way to discover a new region of Italy!! I have been on many yoga retreats with Julie and Karen and not only have I never been disappointed, they seem to find a way to exceed my expectations, every single time. Their attention to detail, whether it relates to location, accommodations, cultural trips and activities, local food and delicacies, is remarkable, impeccable. And we have not even talked about yoga yet. Each yoga session is calming yet totally energizing, and there's always something new to learn, feel or grasp. Julie and Karen create a safe and peaceful haven, where everyone can just be, and feel, and connect.. They create such an inspiring, welcoming space to practice in. All in all, you will discover a way of traveling that will appeal to all your senses and you will create amazing friendships and long lasting connections. I have been on yoga retreats with Julie and Karen since 2018 and I can't wait for the next one.

Julie and Karen created a fabulous trip for us. Every detail had been meticulously planned and executed. Lake Atitlan was truly magical and beautiful. The yoga classes in the gorgeous room looking at the lake were unbelievably spiritual and moving. The food, accommodations and the special bond with a great group of people made for a very special trip. Thank you Karen and Julie for a wonderful time

Judy B., USA

I am still basking in the sienna afterglow of the Umbrian hillside!! This trip was incredible!! Julie and Karen were amazing and our practice in the peaceful setting of Locanda de Gallo was spectacular. We grazed on fabulous farm to table meals with fresh ingredients from Fabrizio’s garden, saw the most breathtaking sights in neighboring Gubbio and Assisi and most of all met the fabulous women to share the experience with! Can’t wait for our next journey together!! Namaste🧘‍♀️❤️❤️

Reminiscing on how extraordinary this yoga retreat and adventure in India has been for me. And you two, charming and competent yogis and femmes d'exception (get your French dictionary out) made it a smooth and enjoyable ride. Thank you for this formidable experience.
