Four days to step into something extraordinary.
Surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs, flowing water, and vast desert sky, Wild Serenity: Zion is an unforgettable immersion in yoga, meditation, adventure, and the restorative beauty of nature.
For four days and three nights, we'll make our private home at Nama-Stay in Springdale, just minutes from Zion National Park. Our days will unfold with morning yoga and meditation, extraordinary landscapes, beautiful chef-prepared meals, and spacious afternoons and evenings for connection, restoration, and rest.
One day, we'll explore Zion together on a guided experience created especially for our retreat. Another day, the adventure is yours to choose—from canyoneering or an e-bike ride to hiking, exploring Springdale, or simply slowing down.
Throughout our time together, we'll weave yoga, meditation, breathwork, Fascia Flow, restorative practice, and immersive sound baths into the natural rhythm of our days.
There will be adventure. There will be stillness. There will be laughter, connection, incredible food, and time simply to take it all in.
Come alive in the wild.

Nestled in the heart of Springdale, Nama-Stay is a peaceful retreat village where adventure and stillness meet.
For four days and three nights, we'll have this intimate sanctuary all to ourselves. Thoughtfully designed rooms, spacious suites, and a welcoming Retreat House are surrounded by gardens, shaded pathways, and inviting outdoor gathering spaces.
Our days will begin with yoga and meditation in a beautiful, light-filled practice space, with time to explore Zion's extraordinary landscapes, gather over delicious meals, and settle into the simple pleasure of being together.
Just five minutes from Zion National Park's south entrance and within walking distance of Springdale's charming cafés, galleries, and shops, Nama-Stay offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
A place to feel at home, slow down, and come alive in the wild.
My intention with Wild Serenity Retreats is simple: to invite you to the family reunion you wish you were having.
A gathering of awesome humans who come together to rediscover the awe of nature, deepen their yoga and spiritual practice, share meaningful experiences, laugh a lot, and remember not to take themselves too seriously.
And to come away with a little potent medicine: a renewed sense of wholeness, the courage to be hopeful, and a deeper appreciation for the simple magic of being present, together.
Moments from past Wild Serenity Retreats
I've been leading retreats since 2007, and after more than 40 retreats around the world, I still find something extraordinary happens when we step away from our routines, immerse ourselves in nature, and come together with open hearts and curious minds.

Wild Serenity is for people who love yoga—or are curious to explore it more deeply—and feel inspired by nature, adventure, and meaningful connection. It's for those who want to move, breathe, explore, and step outside their everyday routines. People who appreciate a beautiful meal around a shared table, an unexpected adventure, a great conversation, and plenty of laughter along the way.
You don't need to be an expert yogi or a hardcore adventurer. Just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to participate.
Come for the yoga. Come for Zion. Come ready to feel alive.
Move like you love your body.
Wild Serenity Yoga Flow is Alex's signature approach to practice—an evolving blend of breathwork, mindful alignment, flowing movement, and fascia-opening techniques.
Rather than moving simply to achieve a pose, the practice invites you to move with curiosity and awareness—building strength and mobility while creating more space and freedom in your body.
Each practice is shaped by the energy of the day and the people in the room.
Wild Serenity welcomes a range of yoga experience, with options offered throughout our practices.
Because this is a flow-based practice, you should be comfortable bearing some weight on your hands and wrists and moving between standing and seated positions with relative ease.
You don't need to be especially flexible or master advanced poses. The spirit is simple: move like you love your body.
Our included guided Zion experience will accommodate a range of abilities, with smaller groups where appropriate. Some walking and uneven terrain should be expected.
On our free adventure day, you can choose an optional guided experience with Zion Guru, such as canyoneering or an e-bike ride, at an additional cost, at your own expense——or explore independently or simply relax at Nama-Stay.
Nama-Stay is located at 111 Juniper Lane, Springdale, Utah 84767, just five minutes from Zion National Park's south entrance and within walking distance of Springdale's cafés, galleries, and shops.
