A yoga retreat with Juliet will not disappoint!! I had the pleasure of accompanying Jules to Tuscany in Italy in 2019. The retreat experience was phenomenal! Every day was filled with morning and evening yoga sessions, day trips to explore the surrounding sites, and time to just be still and meditate. I came away from the experience refreshed, rejuvenated and oh, so blessed! Nothing is better than yoga in a magnificent setting! Juliet truly knows how to make the magic happen!

With Juliet, I embarked on a life-changing retreat in Panama. Juliet's expertise and gentle guidance during the yoga sessions left me feeling rejuvenated, centered, and deeply connected to my practice. Surfing the waves became a powerful metaphor for embracing life's challenges and finding inner balance. I truly had the time of my life!

Juliet's yoga retreats are incredible! I’ve joined her on two so far, and I can’t wait for the next one! Her attention to detail, her amazing classes and her general joyful spirit is everything you could want on a trip abroad! You won’t regret it!

The whole experience was far beyond anything I had ever imagined. Getting to the location was easy and beautiful. The week began with connection and intention, and it was included throughout the experience. Juliet isn’t just one of those instructors that does a practice at the front of the room… she is a wholesome, well rounded instructor that meanders around the room making minor adjustments so that we get the most out of the practice and keep our mind, body and spirit safe and enriched. Her energy and helpfulness was exactly what I needed to stay encouraged. I can’t believe I am saying this out loud, but the acrobatic yoga was probably my favorite. It was light hearted and seemingly everyone accomplished things that we had never thought we would be doing. All in all, everything was so much more than I expected. The practice, the food, the beauty! And most importantly the connections with the amazing people that also participated. I recommend it to anyone curious about exploring not only yoga but the innerworkings of our heart, and the beauty of all the locations that are available for Jem Yoga Retreats,

There are so many reasons to LOVE JEM yoga retreats. The communication, meals, location, and excursions were all excellent- but that’s not what made the retreat magical. It was Jules herself- her range as a yoga teacher, her storytelling, her ability to connect others, and her calm demeanor when balancing the roles of a teacher, leader, travel agent and friend. I found myself learning more about yoga, reflecting on my own practice and just having a really great time. It was my first time attending a full week yoga retreat, and if I could encourage anyone to try this way of travel I would emphatically say- DO IT! and DO IT NOW!

We weren’t sure what to expect when our daughter invited us to join her on a yoga retreat led by Juliet and Rachel in Nicaragua. In addition to being with our daughter and visiting a new part of the world, we chose to go because of her high regard for Juliet’s approach leading yoga classes. The retreat was all that we hoped it would be and more.
The setting, food, and local cultural activities available were great, and, at 80 years old, we enjoyed connecting with the other group members of all ages. Juliet and Rachel were knowledgeable, creative, and intuitive, allowing each of us to personalize our own practice and experience without judgment or unrealistic expectations. We encourage anyone interested in a unique, enriching experience to check out JEM Yoga Retreats!

Nicaragua was my first trip with JemYoga and my first time meeting Juliet. She treated me like a friend from the first moment. I am in my 70s, so I had lots of questions. She made me feel very capable. When we arrived, we were a multi-generational group that blended beautifully. There were always many yoga levels presented, and it felt very inclusive. Rachel and Juliet complemented each other's styles with grace and beauty. I look forward to joining them again on another adventure.

My experience at Juliet’s yoga retreat in Guatemala was truly unforgettable. The setting was absolutely beautiful; peaceful, grounding, and deeply spiritual. Juliet herself is the heart of the retreat. She embodies the perfect balance of soul, strength, warmth, and love. Her guidance created not only a transformative practice for me and my two children but also a space where we felt connected. We left feeling renewed in body, mind, and spirit. I cannot recommend Juliet enough!
