Experience the empowerment of Soulful Calibration
The Smarana Yoga Retreat is a two-week immersion designed as a guided journey back to your essence. This is the perfect opportunity in a perfect setting to renew the soulful inspiration that drives our most cherished desires and deep inner purpose.
Carefully curated as a yoga and meditation intensive, this immersion supports those who feel the call to return to their truest nature. You will be guided through a complete deep dive into yoga, meditation and self-reflection —daily morning and afternoon practices, lunchtime Yoga Nidra, journaling, creative writing exercises, and nature walks—all held within the quiet rural beauty of Bali’s magical landscapes.
Led by Everett Newell, the founder of Zuna Yoga®, this retreat offers an unforgettable experience of self-remembrance. Through practice, reflection, and presence, you’ll illuminate insight, rediscover inner guidance, and reconnect with the compass that orients you toward a more meaningful life.
This is not a teacher training but for registered Yoga Alliance teachers YACEP credits are available.
Smarana {sanskrit}:
To remember; Self-remembrance
This retreat is built upon that remembrance — coming home to the true self that lives beneath conditioning, roles, and the noise of daily life.
The first week is all about awareness. Through yoga, journaling, meditation, and Yoga Nidra, you’ll begin to see your patterns with compassion and clarity. This week helps you understand your programs and map your inner landscape.
