The world we know is large and vast.
The eyes we see show black, gray, and white with the dedication of Svadhyaya to see the rays uncolored.

Our core self rooted and unstoppable not wavering from who we are and where we’ve been. Keeping strong for the unexpected journey ahead.

Our aspirations fulfilled by our continuous actions that transpire a positive dharma.

And our heart leading us the way through the tunnel of life.
Each beat excited to be living life from a place that keeps us steady, and in-focus, within this ever changing paradox of life.

Hello There! This workshop is dedicated to the beginner practitioner or anyone who is interested in learning the basic principles of asana.

This 4 week introduction series will provide a better understanding of what yoga is, how this practice can help reduce stress, and to experience basic yoga postures pain free! You will learn alignment principles that will become the foundation for a strong and healthy practice in a safe, supportive and fun environment with time for questions. This series prepares you to start or continue your practice with a foundation of knowledge that will increase awareness of your body and mind.

Julia Allshouse discovered yoga in 2008 and has been captivated by it ever since!  Within those 5 years Julia has studied Anusara & Vinyasa Yoga.  Before moving to Puerto Vallarta she engrossed herself in Anusara 100 hr Immersion instructed by Sarah Faircloth, preparing for her Anusara Inspired Teacher Training Certification.  When she moved to Puerto Vallarta she began to deepen her understanding of the ancient tradition and spirituality of Yoga through Vinyasa Teacher Training in San Pancho, Nayarit with Sarah Walsh & Carri Uranga, receiving her RYT 200.  She has also engrossed in workshops with Kelly Haas, Desiree Rumbaugh, and Allison Modaferri.   Julia plans to continue her education for completion of her RYT 500.  She is able to teach many styles from strenuous to restorative and understands Yoga as an energy-based healing art for the integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit.  She brings to her unique themed classes a knowledge of the physical and the energy bodies combined with an understanding of the philosophy of Yoga and has the ability to adapt to individual needs. The insights and affirmations she shares come from both guidance from spirit and from her own experiences.  Julia encourages her students to listen and lead from the heart, which gives them the opportunity to discover their inner teacher and pure potential.

We strive to give you the very best of what we know, by helping you to become your BEST SELF through Vikara! What is Vikara??  Vikara is a Sanskrit name standing for mental transformation or change. This is our exact approach! BREAK THOSE PATTERNS!

Integrative Nutrition looks at how all areas of your life are connected.  Nutrition is the foundation of how you are each and every day. It is the catalyst that either makes you feel fantastic, or not. It is what creates your mental clarity, mood, energy, ambition, creativity, body mass, and much much more!! This is the foundation of the Vikara Wellness Practice! Our approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, we work with our clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding. Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

Vikara Wellness is an outdoor yoga environment that focuses on teaching yoga classes in a private setting to individuals and small groups.  We are conveniently located in the heart of the Nuevo Vallarta intercostals just 15 minutes from Puerto Vallarta.  Our goal is to keep classes private or very small to retain the teacher’s attention on everyone involved and thus allowing the sequences and overall flow of the class to focus on your own personal goals and intentions.

Not only will you be able to choose the flow of the class; whether you’d like a traditional Hatha or a faster paced Vinyasa.. but we will also come to you and your own private setting. Whatever your preference you can choose!

Private Sessions

Yoga was originally taught from teacher to individual student and was especially designed to meet the student’s specific physical, emotional, mental and spiritual disposition and needs. This is why there are so many rich and diverse schools of yoga today. While group classes are a wonderful and accessible introduction to yoga, working privately with a knowledgeable teacher is the best way to deepen and integrate your practice as it becomes more and more a part of who you are.
Yoga is an expansive path of self-study, self-compassion and self-empowerment. In our lives, as in the yoga postures, we are constantly given the opportunity to stretch, strengthen, shift, embrace, and awaken! Private sessions may include instruction in yoga postures, guided meditation, pranayama and/ or discussions on how to apply the wisdom and clarity of yoga philosophy in your every day life. Julia’s approach is holistic and comprehensive.
If you would like more information or to schedule a session with Julia, please call or email julia@vikarawellness.com today to sign up for your private yoga lesson!

If you would like to share this experience with friends, small group sessions are also available. Please ask Julia for more details.
