Yoga retreats that give you…
*domestic & international yoga retreats
Yoga is a practice for all people. We’re redefining what a retreat means and that starts with accessibility.
Meet Your Teachers
April Denning
After discovering the practice of yoga in 2019, April decided to dive into Yoga Teacher Training by completing her 200hr.
With over 8 years of experience and countless continued education courses, teaching yoga has become her life’s purpose. But not just teaching yoga. She’s motivated by the opportunity to help others find their way into a sustainable and realistic yoga practice.
April’s teaching style is inspired by the traditional practice of yoga with a modern spin. Incorporating elements of both effort and ease, expect unique strength-based transitions balanced by consistent breath patterns.
Her goal is to help her students turn the repetition of their practice into a ritualistic experience.
As a recent certified Animal Flow L-1 instructor, she incorporates even more mind-body awareness to help you take that off your mat and into daily life.
Catch April teaching at various studios and events around the Phoenix, Arizona or connect with her on Instagram @yogawith_april
Keirst Ferguson
Keirst began practicing yoga almost 15 years ago.
What started as a draw toward the hard, disciplined practice of Bikram Yoga quickly grew into a love of Somatic practices, freedom and strength-based movement patterns that build stability, mobility and ultimately, longevity.
Keirst has 5 years of experience leading a classroom and building community spaces that encourage accessibility. Over time, she discovered her passion for helping others connect deeply to themselves by making connections between mind, body, soul and community.
Her teaching style encourages intuitive movement, stress release techniques, breathwork and a mixed movement modality.
The idea is that the body thrives off of a mix of form, fluidity and function. She weaves this into every class with the goal of leaving students feeling grounded and deeply connected to themselves.

Our Retreat Formula is proven.
8 International & Domestic retreats
Since being established in 2023, we’ve hosted 8 retreats around the US and Central America. The best part? We’re just getting started and actively planning our 2026 schedule. Every retreat we host has it’s own unique experience based on location, time of year, group size and other factors.
25 % of attendees return for more than 1 retreat
We design experiences that keep people coming back. It’s super special to see the personal growth that takes place over the course of multiple Rooted Renewal retreats. This is perhaps our biggest motivator. When you decide to invest in yourself, it pays off.
OUr integrated offering is something special

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.

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.
