2026 Immersion Dates

MARCH 7–21
DECEMBER 5–19
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.

Smarana {sanskrit}: 

To remember; Self-remembrance

Week 1

Seeing Your Patterns
& Inner Landscape

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.

This is not a teacher training but for registered Yoga Alliance teachers YACEP credits are available.

Week 2

Direction, Clarity
& Soulful Alignment

The second week turns insight into direction. You’ll deepen the embodied practices of Week 1, refine what has surfaced, and choose your path forward with clarity and confidence. This week supports integration, intentionality, and soulful alignment.

This immersion is an empowering opportunity for you to return to your true nature, the soulful remembrance we all desire and deserve. We invite you to come home to yourself, that self beneath the conditioning and the noise of daily life.

What You Will Experience

ENERGIZING SUNRISE PRACTICE

Each morning opens with a finely tuned Zuna Yoga® sunrise masterclass, where intelligent asana sequencing, conscious breath and bandha, meditation, and evolving themes are woven into a cohesive daily practice.

These mornings are an invitation into Soulful Calibration—aligning body, breath, mind, and intention—so life can be met with greater clarity, courage, and presence.

YOGA NIDRA

Before lunch, you’ll be guided into deeply restorative Yoga Nidra. This midday practice helps release accumulated tension, downshift the nervous system, and integrate insights from the morning.

Think of it as a daily reset for body, brain, and soul, so you re-emerge refreshed and receptive for the afternoon program.

CREATIVE WRITING

Throughout the immersion, you’ll be guided through creative writing and journaling exercises that act as a mirror for your inner world. The intention is to bypass the over-analytical mind, access intuition, feeling, and imagination, and clarify values, priorities, and unspoken desires.

Through writing, you learn to give language to what you sense but cannot yet fully name. In doing so, patterns, longings, and directions emerge.

GUIDED NATURE WALKS

You’ll experience guided walks through the lush jungle and rice terraces surrounding the retreat centre. We provide the perfect setting to slow down, experience movement as meditation, and feel your connection to the natural world.

This is an invitation to awaken your sensory intelligence, allowing the landscape to support your inner process and guide you back home to your body.

INSPIRING LECTURE / DISCUSSION
Everett Newell , founder of Zuna Yoga®, will lead daily sessions explore key tantric and yogic philosophies that help you understand your inner landscape and rediscover your true nature. The teachings offer practical clarity and insight into the deeper questions we all carry:Why am I here? What is my true purpose and passion in life? How do we illuminate the path to a life lived with courage, beauty, and a sense of empowerment?
EVENING RELAXATION

We close each day with Nourish®, our yin-style class dedicated to softening patterns of tension in the body and deeply tending to the nervous system. The class is followed by an evening meditation, where you refine your ability to sense and tune into the subtle vitality of life within and around you.

Together, these practices create space in both body and mind, allowing what you’ve experienced during the day to sink in, make sense, and become part of you, rather than remaining a fleeting idea.
