WILD SERENITY: ZION
YOGA · MEDITATION · NATURE · ADVENTURE
May 20—23, 2027
Zion National Park, Utah
Come Alive in the Wild
Four days to step into something extraordinary.
There are places that invite us to see things differently.
Surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs, flowing water and vast desert sky, Wild Serenity: Zion is a four-day immersion in movement, mindfulness, nature and adventure.
We’ll begin our days with yoga and meditation, explore the extraordinary landscape of Zion, gather around beautiful meals, and make space for the practices that bring us back into our bodies—and back to ourselves.
There will be adventure. There will be stillness. There will be laughter, connection, incredible food and time simply to take it all in.
This is Wild Serenity.
Move · Explore · Restore · Connect
MOVE
Morning yoga, meditation + breathwork.
EXPLORE
Hiking, adventure + the extraordinary landscape of Zion.
NOURISH
Beautiful seasonal meals shared around the table.
RESTORE
Fascia Flow, restorative practice + spacious downtime.
SOUND + STILLNESS
Meditation + an immersive sound bath.
CONNECT
Community, conversation + the unexpected moments in between.
Practice that meets the moment
Our practices will move with the rhythm of the retreat.
Some mornings will be energizing. Some evenings will ask us to slow down.
We'll explore yoga, meditation, breathwork, Fascia Flow and restorative practices—not as another thing to accomplish, but as ways of becoming more present for everything around us.
And one evening, I'll transform our practice space for a full immersive sound bath—an invitation to rest, receive and simply be.
One day together. One day your way.
Part of the magic of retreat is sharing an experience together. Part of it is having the freedom to follow what calls you.
One day, we’ll explore Zion together on a guided experience designed for our group.
On another, choose your own adventure—perhaps canyoneering, an e-bike ride, another hike or simply a slower day to wander, rest and enjoy Springdale.
Adventure when you want it. Space when you need it.

Your Retreat Leader ~ Alex Dawson
I've been leading retreats since 2007, and after more than 40 retreat experiences around the world, I still believe there is something extraordinary about what happens when we step away from our routines and immerse ourselves in epic nature together.
Words from the Wild
“Alex brought so much depth and intention to the experience through her teachings, while still allowing the trip to feel fun, adventurous, and very human.”
“Alex has a gift for bringing people together and creating experiences that nourish the body, mind, and spirit.”
“The retreat was unforgettable, and I always felt well taken care of. Alex’s attention to detail, positive attitude, and passion for creating a great experience really stood out. I would absolutely recommend traveling with her and would gladly book another trip in the future.”
Our private home at the edge of Zion
For three nights, we'll have Nama-Stay entirely to ourselves—a peaceful private retreat property in Springdale, just minutes from the entrance to Zion National Park.
Tucked beneath the red-rock landscape, Nama-Stay gives us something I especially value on retreat: the ability to come together when we want to—and find space when we need it.
Our home includes private cabins and spacious suites, a dedicated yoga and meditation studio, communal gathering spaces, outdoor patios and a beautiful pavilion where we'll share meals.
And when you want to wander, Springdale is just a few minutes away on foot.

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.

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.
I love you. Keep going.
❤️
Alex
