Vikara Wellness Retreats & Holistic Health

01/01/2026

There is so much that has been experienced, felt, and transformed in all the ways. Not just this past 2025, but in the several years leading up to this new turning into 2026 of the horse year!

When I sit back and reflect, I am so proud of the woman I am becoming. I don’t tend to openly express intimate details about myself, or family, but our new family form that took place 3 years ago was one of the biggest and most courageous steps I could have ever taken to not only connect to my inner truth, but to honor the unfolding of inner truth for others I so dearly love.

Huge, life changing transformations can be one of the trickiest to navigate, with some bits of unthinkable mess here and there, but that is how we find ourself receiving the lessons that so dearly want to unravel within us to heal those parts that haven’t had the opportunity to be healed. And so the universe creates it to be so, and so it is.

It isn’t about conformity, honoring conditioning, keeping things safe, or even loyalty. For me, my inner opening showed me that living my truest and most authentic self was to shed, release, and become best friends to the center of my soul. To challenge and even transform how loyalty can still be honored in a new and loving way.

Growth can be so powerful if you embrace it! I send so much love to all of you. Don’t be afraid of anything. Take each step, shift and rise!

From my heart to yours! Happy New Year! 💜

Hi there my friend, I come to you today with peace in my heart, as the past couple of weeks have been full. And within this fullness, I have been asking myself, and more so aligning myself towards the presence of inward harmony. This is not as easy as it sounds as we tend to have dis-ease with parts of life, judging, analyzing, or choosing to do things in support of our ego or to satisfy the judgements of others.

I am not saying that I have achieved a stable harmonious state, but I am working on it day by day or should I say moment by moment, by first stating that this is my intention, along with many others ;) that are entering my field coming into the new year..

The connection to inward harmony, is at the root of our human needs:

to belong,

to be safe,

to be seen as worthy.

When we lose our inward connection to any one of these, we begin to lose harmony with one’s self. It can be felt as anxiety, chronic self doubt, disconnection from intuition, and self censorship.

In yoga philosophy, this tension is often described as:

Avidyā (misunderstanding of the self, mistaking the temporary for the true), and

Asmita (over-identification with roles or labels).

Peace towards inner harmony arises not when judgments disappear, but when they lose authority over your inner life. This is the practice!

To Practice Avidyā:

On the mat
Notice when you define yourself by performance: “Am I doing this pose well?”

Gently redirect attention to sensation and breath rather than appearance or outcome.

Let the pose be an experience, not a statement about who you are.

This trains the mind to separate being from doing.

Off the mat

When judgment arises, ask:

What am I assuming about myself right now?

Question the belief: Is this absolutely true, or is it a story?

Clarity weakens misunderstanding.

To Practice Asmita:

A daily inquiry

Silently notice how often the mind says:

I am successful because…
or will be successful if I do…

I am failing because…
or will be a failure if I do…

I am valued if…
or will be a valued if I do…

Then reframe:

I am experiencing success…

I am experiencing difficulty…

You are the awareness having the experience, not the experience itself. By changing the mind’s perception through the practices of yoga philosophy, we being to have agency over ourself and our inner strength can be felt & seen by the world around us.

Join me in January for the next Full Body Presence online community session on
Monday, January 5th @ 6:00 PM CST. 💚

Experience a grounded connection to your breath, body, emotions, & mental space.

Let the remembrance of therapeutic tremoring melt away deep muscular tension, leading you towards the gateway to your soul.

When you release tension, what remains is not emptiness, but presence.

When awareness is contracted, it becomes localized, “I am this body, this feeling, this story.” This localization prevents recognition of the deeper self, which is spacious, witnessing, and unbound.

Yoga philosophy shares how tension is not merely a physical inconvenience, it is a veil over awareness, a contraction that obscures direct experience of the soul. 😮

Be curious, be aware, be enlightened going into the New Year of 2026!

As we move into the full swing of the holiday season, the collective energy around us shifts.
Whether you personally celebrate or not, you can feel it, a sensory experience that lands in the body.

And depending on your history, your relationships, and your current bandwidth, that experience can register as safety or as threat.

🎄When the holidays feel safe, your body may experience:

✔️A soft, open chest
✔️Warmth spreading through the torso
✔️Steady, easy breathing
✔️A sense of groundedness in your feet
✔️ Relaxed facial muscles and a natural half-smile
✔️ Playfulness, curiosity, or lightness
✔️ Feeling connected to yourself and others

🔥 When the holidays feel like a threat, your body may notice:

✔️ Tightness in the chest or throat
✔️ Shallow or rapid breathing
✔️ A knot in the stomach
✔️ Feeling on edge or overstimulated
✔️ Tension in the jaw, shoulders, or low back
✔️ A sense of collapse, shutdown, or wanting to hide
✔️ Irritability, dread, or emotional heaviness

None of these responses are wrong, they’re simply your nervous system doing its best to protect you. And you don’t have to navigate that intensity alone.

✨ You’re invited: Full Body Presence, a TRE® Somatic Shaking Medicine online ritual for nervous system regulation

Join me online for a guided tremoring session designed to help your body discharge stress, melt stored tension, and return to your naturally regulated, vibrant state.

We’ll move gently, safely, and intentionally, supporting your nervous system to unwind and reset so you can meet the season with more ease, spaciousness, and clarity.

If your body is asking for relief, grounding, or reconnection, this session is for you.

Tomorrow evening, register here: https://www.vikarawellness.com/online-offerings/december-8th-online-ritual-pranayama-tre-somatic-shaking-medicine-visualization-meditation-for-healing

📹 Recording Available: Can't attend live? All registered participants receive access to the recording within 24 hours of the session.

Come and join Julia online in November to experience a ritual into the breath, and somatic movements, leading into TRE® therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation, transforming emotions, and stuck or stagnant energy. Through these practices, you are setting a strong energetic foundation so

Hola hola dear friends, come join me tomorrow at 7:30 PM @ La Casa del Jardin Puerto Vallarta - YOGA for a relaxing evening in the somatic practice of therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation.

It is an experience where you will connect to the involuntary shaking mechanism in the body, through focused embodiment movements of the pelvis, to decongest it’s tension and any limited mobility so that the body can naturally move itself into safety.

This deeply somatic release supports the body to relax chronic muscular patterns of tension caused by life experiences, which could also be identified as trauma. (Mental or physical)

In rest you will enjoy a very relaxing soundscape of crystal sound bowls, drumming & chanting to integrate the adjustments that have been made.

Awaken rested, in peace, with less anxiety, stress, or tension in the body. Less pains, inflammation, and the support in transforming emotions.

Hope to see you there!

Supporting, loving, and releasing into peace during this Thanksgiving. I had the absolutely pleasure to hold a TRE Somatic Shaking Medicine session at .precision.health for nervous system regulation.

Right before bed, so much gratitude to be supporting humanity in their process. It is time to make those big changes you’ve been daydreaming about, and to support your nervous system while you do it! Love. Life. Compassion.

Deeper Awareness through TRE®
Experience Deeper Awareness & Healing with Julia Allshouse

Deeper awareness allows you to truly listen to the signals of your body, mind, and emotions, often for the first time without judgment or resistance. As you slow down and tune in, you begin to recognize that your body isn't working against you; it's been holding your experiences, protecting you, and waiting for the right conditions to release and heal.

From the comfort of your own space, you'll be guided into a state of deep relaxation, allowing your breath and body to settle into the parasympathetic "rest and restore" state. This creates the ideal condition for neurogenic tremoring to come alive, a natural, therapeutic shaking response that helps release held stress from the nervous system.

As your body gently unwinds, you'll begin to access a fuller sense of presence, clarity of mind, and emotional ease. This practice opens the door to a deeper connection with your body’s innate intelligence, cultivating a renewed sense of trust, joy, and resilience, right where you are.

Come and join me (Julia) online in November to experience a ritual into the breath, and somatic movements, leading into therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation, transforming emotions, and stuck or stagnant energy.

Through these practices, you are setting a strong energetic foundation so your authentic, courageous, and connected self can shine through. A beautiful embodiment ritual during this time of the new moon, creating sacred space to invite in the rebirthing of something new (new beliefs, habits, direction, perspective)

This would be a great time to meet, if you have been eyeing my holistic wellness retreats or online offerings. Let’s get to know each other!

Hi there my friend, I come to you today with love in my heart to be sharing the first announcement to the first upcoming retreat in Yelapa, MX in the new year of 2026.

In all honesty I was only going to host two retreats in 2026, as I am expanding my private practice in TRE® Somatic Shaking Medicine, but have felt the pull to offer my usual annual February retreat at Naranjos Eco-Retreat in Yelapa, Jalisco, Mexico

🌿 Hope you can join us! Early Bird ends on December 1st.

🌿 Jan. 31 • Feb. 5 | 2026 | 6 DAYS

The world today is moving at a relentless pace. Political turmoil, technological upheaval, economic uncertainty, and global conflict is leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected from our own bodies. In the rush to meet demands, care for others, and navigate constant change, we are losing touch with the most important relationship of all, the one we have with ourself.

Ask yourself:Are you moving through life with full presence in your body, or are you living on autopilot, carrying tension, stress, and trauma from both your inner world and the chaos outside?

🌿 A Sanctuary for Reconnection and Renewal

Join us in Yelapa, Mexico, along the river and in the lush jungle, for a transformative sober week where you will slow down, reconnect to your body, and reset your nervous system.

Here, in a safe and nurturing environment, you’ll learn to inhabit your body fully, releasing old patterns of tension and stress, while discovering the calm, clarity, and love that lives within your heart.

Through somatic-based practices, you’ll cultivate full-body presence, awakening awareness in every cell, sensing and releasing held trauma, and reconnecting to your body as a source of wisdom, safety, and vitality.

Our practices include: gentle somatic movements, yoga asanas, breath work, meditation, mantras, sound/frequency, eco-adventures, and therapeutic tremoring (TRE® Somatic Shaking Medicine). Each modality is designed to help your nervous system release stored tension and reclaim a natural state of ease & calm.

And by integrating heart-opening Anahata (Heart) chakra practices, you’ll feel what is means to access your higher self, respond to life with calm and clarity, and reclaim the ability to act from love rather than fear or stress.

During our Wellness Retreat, You Will:

🌿 Rest for 6 days / 5 nights in a single room eco-casita experiencing minimalism and the simplicity of nature.

🌿 Reset your nervous system through somatic-based practices in TRE® Somatic Shaking Medicine , releasing stress, trauma, and tension

🌿 Open and align your heart with a sacred cacao ceremony with the lovely Rachel & Matias

🌿 Embark on a journey of self-discovery through ancient yoga philosophy and heart-centered practices

🌿 Participate in transformational coaching workshops to uncover and release emotional blocks

🌿 Nourish your body with nutrient-dense, plant-based meals

🌿 Set intentions and transform inner patterns through spiritual ceremonies

🌿 Expand consciousness with eco-adventures, sound healing, and superconscious meditations

This all-inclusive sober eco-retreat has been thoughtfully curated to help you cultivate full-body awareness, restore balance, and reconnect to your inner self, even amidst the stress and uncertainty of today’s world. All in the lush Yelapa jungle.

✨ Bonus: Retreat participation includes FREE lifetime VW Alumni access to our monthly online events, allowing you to integrate your experience and continue cultivating inner calm, clarity, and strength long after the week concludes.

Hi there my friend, it has been a bit since my last communication. Life has been busy with year-end retreating, and we have been able to wrap it all up with the sacred closing of our October Bacalar Blue Lagoon Retreat in Mexico!

It was my very first time in Bacalar, as I answered a soul calling last year through my dear friend, and aquatic therapist & certified trainer, Diana Bolaños. The calling was to collaborate the elements of earth & water, between TRE Somatic Shaking Medicine therapy & AguaQiFlow aquatic therapy for unparalleled healing in nervous system regulation & rejuvenation.

But the week was so much more than birthing a collaboration of therapies. As soon as we all landed in the estate venue, I realized that the elements of nature around us, were calling for a deep inner communion with one’s self, getting us out of our comfort zone, and into deep presence, so we can fully confront all parts of ourself. What a blessing. 🙂

Right in our back yard, was the beautiful blue lagoon, inviting us to play, enjoy, and to reunite with her. To reunite with the sacred water’s of the feminine within and to come into honoring it’s vital existence.

We opened the week with a sacred water ceremony to charge the waters within us through intention & attention in an element that is asking for our love and respect. Within her, is vital healing energy to be invited and to pay attention to, and so we did, and it was fully received.

To express the rest of the week, I feel picture imagery along with a poem from my heart, is how I would like to express this one:

Clear skies with murky eyes is how we arrive
A tunnel through the selva bringing us closer to our center
A center that keeps moving, floating, like shapeshifting clouds
Always morphing and transforming, divinely being held

Glass, blue, green, and black, a mirror upon us, no turning back
A calling answered, weaving medicine into tapestry
Bones shiver and shake, blood and body join crystalline waters
A renewal once known revived, shivering, shaking, removing shackles

Bending, breathing, connecting to one’s aliveness, not yet an empress
Sculpting mind into matter, bending conditioning, belonging, betraying
Shedding skin, iguana spirit, a hybrid is born, primordial
Toning, vishuddha vortex released, parts lead into the deceased

Met one’s self once again, hands held, hearts high, at a ten
Wild glass moving, flowing, divinely holding our skin, sweet
Fire, ancestral homage embracing black night
No longer a worry in sight
