I recently returned from an incredible 7 day retreat at the wonderful Blue Osa in Costa Rica, hosted by Julie and Kirin of Outdoor Yoga. 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 and classes at Outdoor Yoga with Julie and Kirin as it will change your...
Read moreJulie, our teacher, in a word is lovely. This is only my 2nd outdoor yoga class w/her at Baker Beach, but definitely not my last. Both have been for private birthday parties which is a fabulous way to gather friends and celebrate those you love! Julie’s class was well paced, calming, connected and let’s talk about those views! It felt like I was on holiday. It was a gorgeous, summer day and the glistening sunshine on the sea, spouting whale in the distance and pelicans flying overhead really added to the whole experience. She made the birthday girl feel so special and brought all 15 of us together beautifully. The music she chose to accompany her class was perfectly peaceful and fun. After class my body felt less sore, more energized and stronger! Julie’s also quick to answer questions prior to her classes and retreats which always helps. I so look forward to more beach yoga and may even do an outdoor yoga celebration for my next birthday at Golden Gate Park or...
Read morehad 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 ! The yoga everyday was also so good for my body and the switch ups for Barre were so fun! The organizers Julie and Kirin are beautiful souls who understand humanity and healing. I will definitely be doing this retreat again!! It was...
