Julie Murphy Yogaressa: originally from South Africa. Decades ago, yoga and meditation helped to bring balance and reduce stress in my former life as a busy exec. And here I am now; grateful to be creating content for the world’s most loved meditation app, Insight Timer (search “Yogaressa”). Yoga Nidra meditation is my calling. My dear friend (and Yin Yoga goddess) Karen Pagano, and I, are excited to have created dozens of enriching and joyful yoga retreats in soul-filled destinations around the world. Join us on the next one!

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.

My experience at the retreat was amazing. Julie and Karen each bring something different to the experience of yoga in ways that truly complement one another. They both share a love of yoga and bring a variety of styles, which allows for the experience to be enjoyed at any level. They are a joy to be around with their bright outlook, beautiful hearts, joyous smiles, and sense of humor. I look forward to the next retreat with them. 💓 Our villa was simply gorgeous, set in the hills of Gubbio, offering a peaceful and calming experience. We were well cared for; the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, personable, and pleasant.

Aaahh, Stacey Rae, thank you for your kind review! It was a delight to share this little slice of Italy with you and to immerse in yoga in yet another beautiful part of the world. We're both so thrilled that you enjoyed the yoga retreat so much. And we're excited about meeting you again, on our next yoga adventure, in Croatia! Thank you for your sunny smiles, and your joy for life.

This was my first trip to Italy. I never would have known enough to find this slice of heaven. This was my second yoga retreat with Karen and Julie. I do know enough to follow them. We were marvelously cared for here: classic food, fun side trips, massage and pool. I like the yoga best--this is what makes the retreat truly healing. Karen and Julie attract a fun group of participants so I leave with new friends. In true Tao form, I arrive needing to retreat and leave ready to meet, and maybe shift, my world.

Such beautiful feedback, Kim. Thank you. This is what makes our retreats special; for Karen and I, and for our participants: a connection with others, and the chance to let the yoga “do the work” of healing, restoring, shifting. Thank you for joining us in Umbria and we look forward to seeing you on another retreat soon! With love, Julie and Karen.
