About this trip

Let’s meet in Malinalco! On this very intimate Ayurvedic retreat for just five guests, you and I will have lots of time to connect one-on-one and in our small group to enjoy the joys of sattvic human connection.


We’re staying at a gorgeous villa in the little town of Malinalco, considered one of Mexico’s Pueblos Magicos or magical towns. It’s a charming pueblo just two hours outside of Mexico City, surrounded by mountains and rich with Aztec history.


We’ll spend most of our time hanging out in the villa, doing our dinacharya, practicing gentle juicy yoga, following an Ayurvedic daily flow, sharing Ayurvedic meals together, swimming in the (heated!) pool, relaxing in the gardens, and cozying up by the firepit before bed. We’ll also prepare dinner together one night in an Ayurvedic cooking class.


As part of the retreat, you and I will meet for a one-on-one Ayurvedic consultation to assess your constitution and create your personalized health plan. You’ll also receive one of Ayurveda’s most beautiful bodywork treatments, abhyanga, to make your vata happy after the travel.


And on Saturday afternoon, we’ll venture out to town for French pastries, a little shopping, and to explore the ancient Aztec pyramids of Malinalco.


I absolutely love creating experiences where good people can connect in beautiful places and immerse themselves in an Ayurvedic rhythm. There’s nothing more enriching than positive, sattvic human connections! I can’t wait to meet/see you again in person.

This was an amazing retreat in every sense of the word! We gathered at an exquisite small private resort on the sea of Cortez and basked in the gorgeous view of the sea, the sunrise, the stars and the sound of the sea. We had the perfect blend of scheduled time for Ayurvedic teachings and practices and free time for swimming, relaxing and making new friends! The Ayurveda-based meals were an incredible treat made with fresh ingredients and lots of love. I truly just had to show up and everything else was taken care of! This was my first retreat with Julie and it will not be the last! She has truly mastered the art of arranging a thoughtful and inspiring introduction to the Ayurvedic lifestyle.

5 Stars! A truly exceptional retreat experience. The location was perfect and having the resort booked exclusively for our group was so nice. It was like being in our own little cozy cocoon for a handful of days. The yoga and ayurveda workshops were fun, practical and easy to follow. The free time was a perfect balance to the flow of the schedule. The expeditions were fun, and we got to see the little town of Cabo Pulmo. Like Julie said, this is more than just a vacation ❤️

The trip with Julie was an exceptional experience. Everything was so well organized and thoughtful in its sequence. The accommodation was excellent, the food was superb and the atmosphere was infectious. I cant wait to attend another experience with Julie as I am sure it will not be disappointing. Jean

5 Stars! Julie is a fantastic host and it was an incredible experience. The resort is beautiful, food and service was great. Our schedule had a good flow with enough space in between to have time for ourselves or other activities.
