The EDM Yoga community, on the beach
Invite Only · August 28–31, 2026 · Marina del Rey

The EDM Yoga® Teacher Training Retreat.

A weekend of embodiment, connection, celebration, and stepping fully into your power as an EDM Yoga® teacher.

A little note about meals

We intentionally kept the retreat investment as accessible as possible, so nourishment throughout the weekend isn't included. Each guest simply orders and covers whatever feels best for them everywhere we dine together — freedom to choose exactly what you want, while still enjoying all of our beautiful group meals and experiences side by side.

Day One · Arrive & Open

Friday, August 28

Arrival, Welcome & Opening Ceremony

3:00 PM

Check-In

Marina del Rey Hotel

Arrive at our beautiful waterfront home for the weekend and settle into your room. Take a moment to unpack, get comfortable, and land in the energy of the retreat — Christina will be coming around to welcome everyone.

5:00 PM

EDM Yoga® & Sound Bath Welcome Ceremony

The Beach

We head to the beach together for the most magical opening ceremony alongside the LA wellness community — a dreamy mermaid-style practice in the sand, followed by a deeply restorative sound bath as the sun sets. Our moment to arrive fully and open the retreat with intention, movement, and sound.

Open to the community

This session is free and open beyond our retreat group — friends, students, and the wider LA wellness community are welcome to join us on the beach.

Evening

Welcome Dinner

Day Two · Methodology & Beach Day

Saturday, August 29

Methodology, Movement & Beach Day

Morning

Breakfast & Lattes

Alfred Coffee

Rise and shine — breakfast, coffee, lattes, or Christina's favorite Coconut Cloud Matcha to start the day together.

Late Morning

EDM Yoga® Methodology Class

Azzurra Yoga Room

A full EDM Yoga® class taught by Christina, who guides the complete experience while explaining her teaching methodology, sequencing, energetic transitions, and the intention behind each part of the practice. Feel the full power of EDM Yoga® in person while learning how Christina builds and holds the journey from beginning to end.

Lunch

Walk to Erewhon

Lunch, smoothies, and anything else your body is calling for.

Afternoon

Beach Day — Scheduled to Do Absolutely Nothing

On purpose. Time to ground, rest, connect with nature and with ourselves, and enjoy being together without needing to accomplish anything. Swim, sunbathe, journal, talk, walk along the water, or simply be.

Evening

Dinner at UOVO

Christina's favorite pasta spot

Home to shower and reset, then dinner at UOVO — the marina view is out of this world, and we'll capture plenty of content before we go. Dress as your highest self, in your personal brand identity.

What to pack Saturday morning

Wear your yoga fit, and pack one bag for the full day:

  • Bathing suit
  • A change of clothes, if desired
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat
  • Water
  • A very lightweight yoga mat, blanket, or Sand Cloud Towel
  • Anything else that helps you feel comfortable at the beach

Christina highly recommends a Sand Cloud Towel — it doubles as a meditation seat, beach blanket, and swim towel. Your mat and props can stay at Christina's home or in the Azzurra Yoga Room all weekend, so you won't need to carry them to the beach.

Day Three · Graduation & Sunday Funday

Sunday, August 30

Graduation, Collaboration & Sunday Funday

Morning

Graduation Collaboration Class

Your official graduation collaboration class — every graduate teaches one portion of a seamless EDM Yoga® experience, sharing their own voice, energy, and teaching style. As each graduate completes their section, we pause to recognize their journey and officially honor them as a certified EDM Yoga® teacher. The class flows into a certificate meditation and graduation ceremony — a celebration of everything you've learned, completed, and become.

After Graduation

Change & Reset

Back to the hotel to change into bathing suits and get ready to celebrate.

Afternoon

Sunday Funday Pool Party

Marina del Rey Hotel

EDM Yoga®, EDM Breathwork®, breathing to the beat, meditating to the music, and good vibes all day. Since the party's right at the hotel, everyone can head back to their room anytime. Pool towels provided — just bring your bathing suit, sunscreen, sunglasses, a cover-up, and your happiest pool party energy.

Evening

Graduation Dinner

SALT Restaurant & Bar

Shower, reset, and get ready for another beautiful dinner together. Dress as your highest self, in white, as we celebrate completing the training and honor the new chapter everyone is officially beginning.

What to wear & bring for graduation

Everyone wears their EDM Yoga® bras with coordinating bottoms that make them feel confident, powerful, and completely themselves — the bras are black & white with gold & silver sparkles, so wear black, gold, or silver leggings.

This is also our main opportunity to capture content of each graduate teaching and stepping fully into their role as an EDM Yoga® teacher. Please bring a very lightweight yoga mat, blanket, or Sand Cloud Towel to sit on during meditation and the ceremony.

Stepping into your power as a certified EDM Yoga teacher
Day Four · Integration & Closing

Monday, August 31

Integration & Closing Ceremony

Morning

Slow Start & Integration

Spacious and intentional. Sleep in, journal, enjoy your room, walk by the marina, or simply allow yourself to integrate everything you experienced this weekend.

Morning Matcha

One Final Coffee Together

Alfred Coffee

A final matcha, coffee, or breakfast together. Dress in bright neon cozy/workout clothes.

Before Departure

Closing Meditation Ceremony

Burton Chace Park

We gather at the park for a final closing meditation — grounding everything we experienced, reflecting on what we're taking home, and intentionally closing the retreat container together. Bring your lightweight yoga mat, blanket, or Cloud Towel to sit comfortably.

11:00 AM

Hotel Check-Out

Collect your belongings and check out. You'll leave not only as a graduate, but as a certified EDM Yoga® teacher ready to lead, create, and share this practice with the world.

An extra gathering · Open to the community

Reset @ The Regent — In-Person Breath & Sound Experience

Regent Santa Monica Beach · Monday, August 31 @ 5:45 PM PT

This is the official launch of RESET — the newest DEN Wellness Residency at Regent Santa Monica Beach — closing out National Wellness Month with something special.

Christina Joy guides a meditation and gentle breathwork session to help guests arrive fully present. Kiki Matoba leads an expansive crystal bowl sound journey, while Sebastian Casper and Jessica Lissette build an immersive soundscape with hand pans, crystal bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments. Together, the evening is designed to help everyone slow down, reconnect, and leave restored — ready for the week ahead.

Open to the wider community, not just retreat guests.
