There’s something magical about preparing for retreat.
It’s not just what you bring — it’s how you show up.

Whether this is your first yoga retreat or your fifteenth, packing for Sedona’s red rock beauty requires a blend of function, comfort, and spaciousness (because you’re not going to want clutter — in your suitcase or your mind).

Let’s make it simple. Here’s exactly what to pack for your yoga retreat in Sedona:

Essentials for Practice & Presence

• Comfortable yoga clothes — think breathable layers that allow you to move freely. Sedona mornings can be chilly and afternoons warm.

• Cozy layers — a soft sweater or shawl for early morning meditation and cooler evenings.

• Lightweight jacket or windbreaker — perfect for sunrise hikes or sitting under the stars.

• Yoga mat + props (optional) — we provide everything, but if you have favorites, bring them.

• A journal + pen — for reflections, insights, and morning pages.

• Reusable water bottle — staying hydrated is key at Sedona’s elevation.

Gear for Adventure

• Hiking shoes or trail runners — supportive, broken-in footwear is a must.

• Hat + sunglasses — that desert sun doesn’t play.

• Sun shirt — protect your skin with a lightweight UV blocking sun shirt

• Daypack — something simple for hikes, with room for water, layers, and snacks.

• Sunscreen + lip balm with SPF — protect that glow.

For Rest, Ritual & Comfort

• Comfy clothes for circle time + downtime — think soft pants, cozy socks, easy layers.

• Any personal items for ritual — a small stone, essential oils, oracle deck, etc.

• Earplugs / eye mask — if you're a light sleeper or just want deeper rest.

• Bathing suit — if your keen for a creek dip

The Inner Packing List (optional, but powerful)

• An open heart

• A willingness to unplug

• Space to just be — not perform, not produce, not plan

• Curiosity about what you’ll discover when you slow down

Final tips:

• Sedona weather in spring can vary — layers are your best friend.

• You don’t need a ton of stuff. Simplicity creates space.

• If you forget something, Sedona has plenty of cute shops for essentials.
