Yoga retreats that give you…
Yoga is a practice for all people. We’re redefining what a retreat means and that starts with accessibility.
Meet Your Teachers
April Denning
Just a gal who found this practice at a time really needed it. Being as authentic as I can be in hopes I inspire others to do the same.
I’ve dedicated myself to a consistent yoga practice since 2015 and decided to enroll in a 200HR YTT program.
I now teach both in person and online to students all over the world. Today I strive to always remain a student by taking continuing education courses.
Keirst Ferguson
I have completed two 200-hour RYT trainings, with an additional 20 hours in Katonah yoga.
My practice incorporates elements from Ashtanga and Katonah, with a focus on individual empowerment, nervous system regulation and alignment.
I teach an intuitive style yoga practice where I encourage my students to place emphasis on their own energy level, bodily cues, and general mood.

I had such a great time with this group. They are great facilitators that bring together lovely people. Give yourself a treat/break and go on a trip with them!

Simply say YES to YOU!! Joshua Tree was my first retreat of any kind! My daughter had been asking for me to join her on an adventure… when things finally aligned I blindly said YES! This leap of faith changed my life!

I’ve done a few wellness retreats over the years and what April and Keirst are doing with Rooted Renewal retreats is something special. Expect authentic yoga practices, integrated wellness activities (hiking, cacao, cold plunges), community building and personal journey guidance — all of the items to curate a holistic wellness journey.

Transformative. This retreat really sparked a year-long journey of self-discovery. Through the modalities that Keirst, April, and Cody taught, i learned so much. About myself, my coping skills, and my tolerance. Thanks to each one of you for reminding me about my power.

Being new to the yoga practice, I was a little hesitant on going at first because this was a new experience for me. But man, I am so glad I went. They truly put so much love and effort to make their retreats comfortable, fun, challenging and educational.

Empowering, supportive and kind...this yoga retreat settled my spirit, fed my soul, and inspired me to do hard things. I knew no one when I arrived and left with my yoga practice invigorated & with dear friends. Be courageous and just GO--you are worth it!

This retreat brought clarity and peace in my life! From the facilitators coming in authenticity and raw, to the in house private chef, I could not imagine a better place to recharge and recenter. 12/10 recommend to anyone wanting to deep dive in their yoga practice and find a place to rest and renew.

Not only did we get to do yoga in the most beautiful atmosphere, but the organization of dinners and excursions were so thoughtfully planned, I couldn’t have embarked my 2024 with a better trip than a rooted renewal retreat.
