Serenity Within is a retreat-style training held February 17–21, 2027, at our intimate retreat home in Sedona, Arizona. This experience invites you to step away from everyday distractions and fully immerse yourself in learning, restoration, and embodied practice.

Rather than simply studying the methodologies, you'll have the opportunity to experience them firsthand. Our days blend educational lectures, hands-on workshops, guided practices, self-inquiry, meaningful connection, and spacious moments for rest and integration.

Opening and closing ceremonies create an intentional beginning and end to our time together, while the intimate group setting allows for personalized guidance and deeper connection.

We believe the most impactful teachers are those who have experienced the practices themselves. This immersion is designed to help you move beyond intellectual understanding and into embodied wisdom, enriching both your personal practice and the way you guide others.

Serenity Within welcomes both certified yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, ZenYasa, and somatic movement.

For Yoga Teachers: A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification through a Yoga Alliance-registered school is required for participants seeking a teaching certification upon completion.

For Dedicated Practitioners & The Curious Mind: No teaching certification is required. However, we recommend a consistent yoga practice and a solid foundation or prior exposure to yoga, particularly Yin and slower-paced styles.

Whether your intention is to expand your teaching offerings or deepen your personal journey, come with curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore.

• Pre & Post Group Integration cal

40 Contact Hours: Completed in person through lectures, workshops, guided practices, hands-on learning, discussions, and teaching practicums.

10 Non-Contact Hours: Completed through pre-recorded coursework, guided home study, and integration assignments.

Two catered nourishing meals are included as part of our welcome and closing ceremonies, offering opportunities to gather, connect, and share in community.

All other meals are the responsibility of each participant. Our daily schedule includes ample breaks, allowing time to prepare your own brunches and dinners at the retreat home.

We encourage you to bring your preferred snacks and supplemental nourishment to enjoy whenever needed throughout the training.

Our intention is to create a balance between structured learning and personal freedom, allowing you to honor your individual needs while remaining fully immersed in the experience.
