One Class Inside the Weekend
A single session dropped into a programme that is otherwise full, usually a morning, before the day fills up.

A Yoga Instructor
for the Retreat You Have Planned
You have the house, the dates and the group. What is missing is someone to teach. Rooted with Julia works as a yoga teacher for retreats already in motion: one class inside your programme, or a session every morning you are there.
This is not a retreat Julia is running. It is yours, and she teaches the yoga in it.
Why organisers book it
The Part of the Weekend Nobody Wants to Improvise
Most retreats are organised by one person who is already handling the house, the food, the drive and the group chat. Yoga is on the schedule because everyone wants it there. It is also the one thing that cannot be pulled together from a phone at the last minute.
Bringing in a yoga instructor for the retreat takes that off the list. It also means the person who organised the whole thing gets to be in the class rather than running it.
You keep the retreat. Julia teaches the yoga.
That is the difference worth naming. Booking a retreat yoga instructor is not the same as booking a retreat. Julia is not selling you a destination, a room or an itinerary. She is the yoga retreat instructor inside the one you have already organised.
The same approach she brings to private group yoga anywhere else, only here it sits inside a schedule you have already built.
Ways to book
How Yoga Fits Into Your Programme
Private yoga for retreats works four ways, and any of them can be adjusted once Julia has seen your schedule.
Daily Yoga Across the Retreat
A class each morning you are there, so the days have a shape to them and everyone knows where the group starts.
Opening or Closing Session
A class that marks the beginning or the end: a way to get everyone in one room on the first evening, or to land the group before the drive home.
Virtual Retreat Yoga
A live online class for a retreat that is happening remotely, or for the group to practise together in the weeks before they travel.
Retreat types
The Retreats Groups Actually Plan
Retreat can mean almost anything. In practice, groups of women tend to plan a handful of the same trips, and of all the wellness retreat activities that end up on the schedule, yoga is the one that fits into every one of them.
The friends’ weekend away
A rented house, no fixed agenda, and a group that only gets together once a year. Add a teacher and it quietly becomes a private group yoga retreat, without anyone having to call it one.
Wellness retreats
Movement, food, sleep and quiet, planned deliberately. Of the retreat wellness activities on the schedule, yoga is usually the spine the rest of the programme hangs off.
Milestone birthday retreats
A fortieth or a fiftieth turned into a weekend rather than a dinner. Often a morning class before whatever has been booked for the evening.
Bachelorette weekends
The gentler half of the weekend. A class on the first morning sets the tone, and a class on the last one repairs it.
Women’s circles and sisterhood retreats
Groups that gather to talk. Yoga gives the day a physical starting point before the conversation begins.
Mastermind and business retreats
Founders and small teams who booked a house to think in. A morning class is the difference between a working weekend and a fourteen-hour meeting.
Mom retreats and postpartum getaways
A weekend away from the house. The class is usually slower, and the point is rest rather than effort.
Church, faith and community group retreats
Established groups with their own programme, adding a movement session that everyone can take part in.
Grief, healing and recovery retreats
Small, careful groups. Breath and stillness, taught at a pace that leaves room for the rest of the weekend.
Format
At the Venue or Live Online
Most retreat yoga is taught in person, at the house or venue the group has booked. Live online classes cover the retreats that happen remotely, and the weeks of build-up before an in-person one.
In-Person Retreat Yoga
Julia travels to your retreat and teaches in the space you have, across New England.
Virtual Retreat Yoga
A live class the group joins together, taught in real time rather than played from a recording.
How Julia teaches
Built Around the People in the Room
A retreat group is never one level. Someone practises weekly. Someone drove four hours and has never been on a mat. Someone has a knee that objects to kneeling.
That is the normal shape of a retreat class.
Julia teaches it herself and adjusts as she goes. Every posture is offered with options, so nobody is corrected across the room and nobody sits the class out because they assume it is not for them.
Tell her who is coming, what the rest of the schedule looks like, and where in the day the class sits. It gets built from there. Her live online yoga classes are the easiest way to see how she teaches before you commit to anything.
The class itself
What a Retreat Class Can Look Like
Morning Flow
The class most retreats want. Enough movement to start the day properly, nothing that costs you the afternoon.
Slow Restore
Long holds and breathwork. Good for the second day, or the evening before everyone travels home.
Something Stronger
For groups who would rather move properly than be eased into the day.
Opening or Closing Practice
Mostly breath and stillness. A way to gather the group at the start, or to close the weekend deliberately.
Across a multi-day retreat the sessions do not have to match. Send Julia the schedule and she will suggest what belongs where.
How it works
How It Works
Send the Dates and the Venue
Where the retreat is, when it runs, how many people are coming, and how many sessions you have in mind.
Fit It to the Schedule
Julia will work out where the classes sit, how long each one runs, and what the space needs in order to work.
She Teaches, You Take Part
The organiser gets to be a participant for once. Julia handles the class itself.
Taught by Julia
Why Rooted with Julia
Julia Giurleo is an RYT 200 trained yoga teacher, registered with Yoga Alliance, who works directly with every group she teaches.
Her classes are personal rather than scripted. She watches the room, adjusts the pace, and creates an environment where people can take part without feeling watched or assessed.
On a retreat, where the group is together for days rather than an hour, that matters more than usual. You can learn more about Julia and how she came to teach this way.
- One teacher, start to finishThe person you email is the person who arrives, and the same person who teaches every session of the retreat.
- Mixed-ability groups are normalA first-ever class and a ten-year practice sit in the same room comfortably.
- Your retreat, not hersJulia works inside the programme you have built rather than asking you to rearrange it around her.
- In person or live onlineIn-person classes across New England, and live online sessions for remote retreats and the weeks beforehand.

Retreat yoga FAQs
The usual questions.
Pricing depends on the size of the group, where the retreat is, how many sessions you want, how long each one runs, and whether it is in person or live online. Send over your dates and a rough headcount and Julia can give you options.
Yes. That is what this is. You keep the venue, the dates and the programme, and Julia comes in to teach the sessions inside it.
Yes. A single class and a class each morning of the stay can both be arranged. Across a multi-day retreat the sessions do not have to be the same style.
Friends' weekends away, wellness retreats, milestone birthday retreats, bachelorette weekends, women's circles, mastermind and business retreats, mom getaways, faith and community group retreats, and small healing or recovery retreats.
That depends on the group, but the ones that work tend to be simple, need no equipment, and include everybody regardless of fitness. Yoga, walks, unstructured rest and shared cooking do more for a weekend than a packed schedule does.
Anywhere the group has room to spread out. Rental houses, retreat centres, barns and lodges, hotel function rooms, decks, lawns and porches can all work depending on the size of the group and the weather.
No. Retreat groups are usually mixed, and the class is planned that way. Every posture is offered with options, including for people who have never been on a mat.
In-person retreat classes are taught across New England. Send the location with your enquiry and Julia will tell you straight away whether it works.
Comfortable clothing and a mat each is the whole list. Most groups already have some mats between them, and Julia will tell you plainly what is worth borrowing and what you do not need at all.
Yes. A live online class works for a retreat happening remotely, and also as a session for the group before they travel or after they get home.
As soon as your dates and venue are settled. Weekends fill up, so it is worth asking about availability early rather than once the rest of the programme is finished.
