ESenEM Yoga Retreat - Apr 30-May 3 2026

---

Join us for a four-day, three-night getaway in beautiful Williams, Arizona! We’ll be staying on a beautiful property surrounded by acres of forest, ponds, and wildlife, all with iconic views of the San Francisco Peaks. This retreat offers a fun, glamping atmosphere with the comfort of luxury accommodations, AC, and WiFi. Each day, we’ll practice a combination of yoga, Pilates and meditation, share delicious meals crafted from local ingredients, and gather around the bonfire each evening for stars and s’mores. In between practices, we’ll explore Backland and the surrounding areas and immerse ourselves in the tranquility of nature. This trip is a chance to deepen your practice, calm your mind, and reset your spirit in the presence of supportive community.

Our Retreat is lead by McKenzie S. and Elena S. of ESenEM Yoga Scottsdale, with a special class lead by Bailey W. of ESenEM Yoga Flagstaff.
