Ancient practice in a mystical place.
“I’ve been doing yoga for years, and Desert Reset has high quality yoga sessions!”
Yoga + Joshua Tree = Nirvana
The sweeping Joshua Tree desert landscape offers the mind and body a unique and mystical stillness not found anywhere else in the world. It's astonishing what the expansive desert can do for your yoga practice. The fresh High Desert air, the endless blue skies and abundant starry nights, the unusual plant and animal life all inspire a yoga session like you've never experienced.
Words are inadequate for what is an indescribable feeling of yoga in Joshua Tree. Experience it for yourself. And bring a refreshed practice and perspective back home with you.
Namaste is a Sanskrit word meaning “I bow to you." It’s the idea that there is an eternal light within every being. The word Namaste is used to acknowledge that the light in me honors the light in you.
Our Yoga Philosophy
Yoga means "union." Its purpose is to unite. You could say that's our goal at Desert Reset: To unite like-minded seekers who would become lifelong friends, to join you with the magestic desert for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and to blend you with your own highest self. Our desire is to create unions of all kind. Yoga is one of the powerful ways we do that.
We believe in the potentiality of yoga to faciliate union and awakening. We begin each day with Morning Mindful Hatha Yoga to awaken the mind/body connection, and we have a relaxing evening Yoga Nidra, as well.
Our yoga teacher Corinne is exceptionally trained (500 hours), and holds a vast knowledge of yoga, providing precise instruction, as well as modifications for a safe, comfortable experience at any level.
All yoga is done at your own pace, and, additionally, private yoga sessions are available.
Morning Breathwork
FRIDAY @ 8:00AM • 15 MINUTES
SATURDAY @ 8:00AM • 15 MINUTES
SUNDAY @ 8:00AM • 15 MINUTES
Breathwork is a therapeutic modality that utilizes conscious control of breathing. It is meant to influence your mental, emotional and/or physical state, often by removing blockages of painful memories or experiences. Breathwork can be a powerful tool of self-exploration and healing. There is much to be gained in a breathwork class as controlled breathing has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness and boost your immune system. Let’s get to breathing!
Morning Hatha Yoga
FRIDAY @ 8:15AM • 45 MINUTES
SATURDAY @ 8:15AM • 45 MINUTES
SUNDAY @ 8:15AM • 45 MINUTES
Experience awakening and rejuvenation with this active, all-levels alignment-based yoga class, using yoga poses to build strength, stamina and grace. Modifications will be used to enhance the experience and to create accessible yoga for every body. This is an energizing mindful morning practice to help stretch and strengthen the body, calm the mind, and leave you ready for the day’s retreat activities.
Evening Yoga Nidra
THURSDAY @ 8:30PM • 30 MINUTES
The desert environment, in and of itself, lends itself to deep restful sleep, add Yoga Nidra to that and you’re bound to sleep like a yogi. Also known as dynamic sleep, Yoga Nidra guides the body to relax deeply while the mind remains inwardly alert. Yoga Nidra pioneer, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, refers to it as “reaching the border between waking and sleeping states.” It is very similar to the hypnotic state, and it’s the perfect modality for the close of the day to lead you into a deep yogi night's sleep.
We do reserve the right to change the type of yoga class offered and the teacher, due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you for understanding.
