HAVE YOU BEEN EXPERIENCING A FULL LIFE?

One that is busy, and adventurous, but hectic and stressful at the same time? A life full of eating, breathing, watching, touching, and hearing all that it has to give you?

And now you've decided that it's time for a full body reset to relax your nervous system?

Join us here in Yelapa, Mexico, where I will be holding a very beautiful sacred space for those who are interested in connecting to the voice of their body through therapeutic tremoring to reset their nervous system, yoga philosophy & it’s practices, transformational mentoring, spiritual ceremonies, plant-based meals, eco-adventures, sound healing, and deep restful meditations & somatic-based practices.

This type of somatic based retreat is to reset the nervous system, bringing it closer to rest/digest, by working with the physical alchemy of the body. Reducing any cortisol/adrenaline charge that the system may be experiencing, bringing you into homeostasis.

Why do we do this? To balance the triune brain/body connection, so we can experience the stressors of life in a more balanced way. Not having our decisions be souly driven by our emotions, or survival brain, or thinking mind.

Living in a chronically dysregulated state can lead to compromised immunity, poor sleep patterns, challenged digestion, difficulty concentrating, strained relationships and more.

Calm your nervous system, and let go of sympathetic activation at our Raw, Real, and Ready nervous system regulation retreat.

The main focus of this retreat is therapeutic tremoring, a somatic based practice that focuses on regulating the nervous system by working to release deep layers of muscular tension due to tension, stress, burn-out, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD, that everyday exercise isn’t able to release.

This long held tension could be effecting your mental, emotional, and physical state of being, not realizing that you are living each day in a state of chronic stress/hyperarousal.

Just like how animals tremor and shake to regulate their nervous system from a stressful event, we too need to embrace this natural response.

We have grown in a society where tremors and shaking is something that we want to suppress by obtaining some kind of composure, when it should be a part of our natural way in moving through what just happened from a physical level, directly working with the mind/body connection.

At this private retreat you will:

✨Learn how this practice integrates with the poly vagal theory

✨Tap into soft ecstatic movements to guide the body into spontaneous connections of release

✨Transform the subtle body into releasing any stuck, stagnant, or patterned energy from the joints, muscles, and autonomic nervous system.

✨Bring the autonomic nervous system into a state of homeostasis through involuntary shaking, quaking, vibrations, or tremoring through different parts of the body, breaking through deep muscular tension that is embedded in the body from anxiety, tension, stress, trauma, or ptsd.

✨Learn how to walk away with this knowledge to be able to understand how you can intertwine this type of somatic based practice within any kind of physical practice you do.

✨Understand the importance of the “pause”, and how it connects you into understanding your body’s presence.

✨Be embraced with deep rest for integration, as I work with crystal sound bowls, and my voice, pulling in ancestral energy and the frequency of mantra.

After the retreat, deliberately look for new growth in your day to day life:

  • Stress levels

  • Tension & pain

  • Freedom of movement

  • Energy levels

  • Sleep & dreams

  • Emotional expression

  • Mind & thinking

  • Creativity

  • Relationship with others

  • Groundedness & Centeredness

  • Presence & awareness

  • Sense & vitality

anything else you notice…

This retreat is perfect for anybody who:

1. Wants to have a private small group, one-on-one, or couple wellness experience, where the intimate, and nurturing environment gives you the ability to have a customized and extremely personal reset, working on the entire mind, body, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual aspects of yourself.

2. Needs a reset of their nervous system that has been taken over by a busy lifestyle that has created tension, stress or anxiety as a normal way of living.

3. Wants to cleanse their body in a gentle way by adopting a whole-food vegetarian diet, along with juices following liver cleansing protocols. Optional depending upon scheduling: Co-prepare meals to learn new healthy recipes. Ask us to coordinate.

4. Would like to cleanse their physical, emotional, and mental states of consciousness through the practices of transforming their subtle/energetic body through yoga philosophy and holistic wellness modalities and their practices.

5. Is interested in incorporating holistic health coaching as a part of their reset, so they can become empowered through self-awareness, tackling other aspects of life that also needs to be recognized, and transformed.

6. Who is tired of struggling, and ready to be supported by an experienced certified yoga teacher, therapeutic tremoring teacher for nervous system regulation, and holistic health coaching in nutrition, and mindfulness practices.

private-wellness-retreat-in-yelapa-mexico

Includes daily yoga in the morning and evening for 1.5 hours each session.

The evening sessions will consist more of breathwork and meditation. You will experience different styles of yoga from hatha, kundalini kriyas, deep stretch, and yoga nidra. Each class will have a theme rooted in yoga philosophy, diving you deeper into how yoga integrates with your everyday way of life.

TARGETED & SPECIALIZED YOGA SESSIONS

 
 

Apana Vayu, Navel Center, & Elimination Practices

Daily, you will practice specific yoga & meditation kundalini kriyas that will work with apana vayu, the energy governing the removal of waste in the physical body, operating in the genitals, lower intestine, colon, rectum, kidneys and bladder.

Aging does not start just with years; it begins with nutritional deficiency, intestinal problems, untended emotional and physical stress, and an inflexible spine that disrupts the flow of meridians and the rejuvenating flow of your spinal fluid.

Signs of an unhealthy or imbalanced Apana Vayu can range from laziness and dullness to confusion and indecisiveness.

Balancing the vayus through practicing yoga and meditation not only promotes physical strength, but also helps the practitioner move closer to their spiritual path.


Yoga philosophy threaded throughout

We will discuss the yoga sutras of Patanjali, the 8-limbs of yoga (1. Yama · 2. Niyama · 3. Asana · 4. Pranayama · 5. Pratyahara · 6. Dharana · 7. Dhyana · 8. Samadhi)

We will discuss the koshas, the 5 layers of consciousness and how to integrate them into your yoga practice, connecting your movements/asanas into deeper layers of philosophy for a full embodied practice.

Kundalini Tantra philosophy will be shared, embracing the intellect of our emotional/mental body and how it directly integrates with the health of our subtle energy system, the chakras.


Transformational coaching and/or energetiC cleansing

Includes 3, 1.5 hr Individual or group sessions

3 private or in group transformational coaching workshops (workshop focus examples: yoga philosophy in the 8-limbs of yoga to embrace a yoga lifestyle, wheel of life exercise as a guide towards balance, intro to chakras in recovery and behavioral development, codependency vs. interdependent relationships, trauma triggers & troubling times somatic based practices, intention setting and sacred space) 3 topics are chosen.

or you can choose bodywork/massages instead, this option is only available for one-on-one retreats, and would take place instead of the transformational coaching session.

For couples or small groups, you would follow the group format in attending the group workshops, with an option to add-on bodywork/massages. (Bodywork/massages are paid separately) in this instance.


NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION WORKSHOP (shaking medicine)

Includes 3, 1.5 hr group session

You will be taught and guided by a Shaking Medicine embodiment teacher. The class comprises of embodiment movements that have been created to release tension, stress, anxiety, ptsd and the effects of trauma from the body by triggering neurogenic tremors/pulsations/vibrations(a natural human response) to discharge stress, releasing the fight/flight cycle that we didn't allow happen & is being stored in the body. The benefit of the session is to connect to your state of safety, so you can bring yourself back to the rest/digest state, connecting to the triune brain to create a brain/body balance of homeostasis.

While in Mexico, Julia started her own Yoga Studio & Wellness Practice called Vikara Wellness based out of her home in Puerto Vallarta in 2012. During that time, she also began an ambitious venture by working side by side with the owner of Moffitt Wellness Retreat, a Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program, as the Operations Director & Yoga Teacher.

With inspiration through spiritual ceremony, Julia began expanding out her wellness movement to create a unity between community yoga teachers, transformational and trauma informed coaches, spiritual guides, and students a like, specializing in creating holistic wellness programs for recovery in Yelapa, Mexico, along with destination recovery & holistic wellness retreats & custom programs for those who are passionate about expanding their physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral blueprint towards personal transformation.

Julia has a passion in educating people who struggle with mental illness and all kinds of addiction, because she comes from a family who have had to navigate the world of mental illness and addiction, and always knew she didn't want to trigger the possibility of repeating the same pattern.

There came a time in her life, when unhealthy relationships were affecting her deeply, causing depression and an unhealthy lifestyle, not knowing how to overcome.

It actually took her years to make the decision to attend a yoga class, and when she did, it all went uphill from there. It changed her life forever, and she wants nothing more than to inspire yours!

Julia was introduced to Shaking Medicine while she was in the process of becoming a TRE Provider, and felt that the expansive knowledge of movements, shapes, and unique techniques to tap into therapeutic tremoring, fit the mind/body/spirit connection in a deeper way, as well as gave a broader range in motion to explore the body. She decided to complete her certification in therapeutic tremoring for tension, stress, anxiety, ptsd, and the effects of trauma with Shaking Medicine, and incorporates the somatic-based classes in her retreats and local community.

Julia is a certified holistic health counselor from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, a E-RYT 200hr, & RYT 500hr Yoga Alliance Certified experienced teacher with trainings from Drishti Yoga International, & Samadhi Yoga Ashram, based out of Rishikesh, India, specializing in traditional tantra kundalini & hatha yoga rooted in Himalayan yoga tradition, a certified Shaking Medicine Teacher with education in TRE, and have completed her Anusara 100 hr immersion training based in hatha tradition with Sarah Faircloth.

The insights and affirmations she shares comes from both guidance from spirit and from her own experiences. She encourages her students to listen and lead from the heart, which gives them the opportunity to discover their inner teacher and pure potential.
