Inner Healing Immersion
Private Spiritual Retreat with Danielle Matthews
Step out of momentum and into a private retreat designed for healing, inner clarity, and transformation through personalized Yoga Therapy, Yoga Nidra, and guidance rooted in the Integrative Amrit Method.
Meet Danielle Matthews
Danielle began practicing Yoga Nidra regularly after a traumatic brain injury pulled her away from the life she once knew and initiated a profound inner awakening. Through daily practice she experienced relief from anxiety and depression and discovered a deep sense of peace within, inspiring her to study the practice more deeply and share it with others.
In 2015 she completed both the I AM Yoga Nidra™ Certification and Advanced Certification at the Amrit Yoga Institute and became a regular assistant in these programs. In 2021 she moved to the institute to immerse herself more fully in the teachings of Gurudev Shri Amritji and the Integrative Amrit Method.
In 2023 she traveled to Iceland to complete I AM Yoga Therapy™Certification with Kamini Desai, where she experienced a powerful initiation into the therapeutic impact of this modality.
Danielle now offers personalized Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy sessions, as well as private retreats designed to help students reconnect with the same inner stillness and insight that transformed her own life.

This retreat is designed and thoughtfully customized for anyone seeking to go deeper in their spiritual practice. Yoga therapy resets the nervous system, freeing your life force and bringing about soul-level healing. The personalized private yoga therapy sessions guide you beyond the thinking mind and into the energy body, where old patterns and energetic residue from the past can finally be released.
The sessions open the door for insight into situations currently creating stress or inner conflict including your relationships, health challenges or life events.
Each session is guided by what is arising for you in the moment, allowing the retreat to meet your unique needs and intentions. Yoga Therapy sessions provide a sacred space where deeply held patterns and past traumas can surface and begin to release, allowing you to finally let go of that which is no longer serving you.
Quiet walks in the forest and visits to the nearby springs are woven throughout the retreat to support integration and create space for reflection. Your stay also includes opportunities to explore the philosophy of the Integrative Amrit Method to help illuminate the deeper principles behind the practices as you experience them directly within your body, mind, and spirit.
Offered within the energetic vortex of the Amrit Yoga Institute, the combination of private yoga therapy sessions, relaxing in nature, Florida’s natural springs and personal time with a living yoga master creates the potential for a truly life-altering experience.
This retreat includes Darshan with Gurudev twice during your stay. Additionally, you will have the rare opportunity to meet with him privately to ask the deeper questions on your heart and receive direct and personal guidance.
During these four days, enjoy beautiful accommodations in the heart of the Ocala National Forest, a space shaped by the presence and teachings of Gurudev.

TESTIMONIALS
Step out of momentum and into a private retreat designed for healing, inner clarity, and transformation through personalized Yoga Therapy, Yoga Nidra, and guidance rooted in the Integrative Amrit Method.
For a long time I felt imprisoned in my own body by painful experiences from my past. No matter how hard I tried to move forward, something always seemed to pull me back. I came to this retreat searching for freedom from that weight, and what I discovered was not just theory, but practical tools to release what had been living in my body. My time in the forest was wild in the best possible way. It is truly powerful to finally understand how to let go of the past—not just in the mind or emotions, but where it had been held within the body.
I am incredibly grateful that I made the trip and strongly recommend this program. The experience was thoughtfully customized to meet my goals and needs.
As someone who has always had a very active and imaginative mind, the time onsite felt almost like being introduced to my body for the first time. I experienced what a truly quiet mind feels like. It was one of the most peaceful and calming experiences I have had.
I am deeply grateful to Danielle and the AYI team for this experience and hope to return again someday. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in exploring a deeper connection between mind and body.
Prior to this program I had been grieving the recent death of my husband, my confidence was at an all time low, I was uncertain and doubtful. What Danielle taught was absolutely marvelous – I feel like a whole new person. I am more calm, kinder, more balanced and have never felt such peace.
