A friend of mine referred me to Zen Den Yoga School. These classes have helped me find my peace. After taking many of Ira's classes, I was able to learn how to focus and most of all let go of my stress. I was never really a big yoga person, but now I have converted and it feels amazing. The restorative class is the most popular (and I can tell); well of course, after a hard day of work we need to be restored physical and mentally!
All of our classes during our teacher trainings and retreats start on time, so we appreciate that our students are on time as well. We do understand that from time to time things do happen, so please do not hesitate to call us before class starts so we can properly prepare for your late arrival. Otherwise we lock the door at the time class starts so not to be interrupted as well as keep our front store and office area safe.

I came to Zen Den to learn yoga and kick my sugar addiction. I left addicted to yoga and healthy eating!

I went for the Yin Yoga and restorative Retreat. From the moment I arrived I knew I needed to be there. Val and Ira were so welcoming. All of the other guests were beautiful people. And I am blessed to have met them all. I was at peace there. The experience is very zen and go with the flow. You have a few scheduled things but plenty of you time to do as you please. I loved the Tia Chi and meditation especially. Val made learning it easy. Ira helped me through a panic attack due to recent health reasons. There are really no words, no review I could ever write that would properly describe my spiritual

Had a lovely time at the disconnect to reconnect yoga retreat. Valerie and Ira are very welcoming and accommodating. The retreat is conveniently located within walking or biking distance of the beach and wonderful restaurants (great recommendations)! The space is very relaxing, we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Smoothies were delicious with fresh ingredients supplied. I enjoyed all the yoga classes and the difference in the different styles. The massage at Aloha spa was just amazing and was included with the retreat. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway this is it!

Valerie is awesome - what a great yoga instructor. Learned so much. Ira was also terrific - I liked him leading our morning meditation and his thoughts on healthy living. I enjoyed the simple and comfortable accommodations. They provide the veggies and fruit for smoothies for breakfast/lunch and then (having eaten especially healthy in the first half of the day) you can choose from their list of favorite restaurants in the area - and there are many. I also liked the firepit the first night where everyone at the retreat got to know each other. I recommend you check out ZDY - it was a great "reset

Completed my 200 HR YTT at Zen Den... what a whirlwind of an experience. Appreciate Ira and Val's attention and knowledge that they brought into the program as well as their ability to create a safe and happy space for us students. This is a very intense experience all around so really appreciate the support!
This YTT is an experience that I wouldn't have ever asked for (and wouldn't have known all that goes into it) but would definitely recommend to anyone that is hoping to get a quality and robust training but also open minded to exploring new things and having some fun! (Located in Boca is

I want to thank Val & Ira for the wonderful retreat I had. I did the 2 weeks of juicing for my birthday in May. I didn't know what to expect and I was feeling very anxious especially after 2 years of traumas back to back, my anxiety and health were at a different level.
Learning how to juice, the knowledge I learned from Val about nutrition, the colonic prior to the beginning of my juicing, the massage therapy, Val's energy work, the daily yoga practice and meditation, the 20,000 steps every day to the beach and back, the friendships of likeminded full of light humans, Ira's wisdom and beautiful

Wow, wow, wow!
This is my first yoga retreat experience, but Valerie and Ira set the bar really high! I will definitely be back and tell more people about Zen Den Yoga Retreats!
I’ve been doing yoga on and off for a few years now, but just got serious about my practice three months ago. When searching for a yoga retreat, I was looking for a place where I could strengthen my knowledge about yoga, improve my practice, and RELAX. Not only did I get all three of those desires met, but I also received great guidance on eating healthier while I was there. Plus, the other guest were amazing too.

I had a great time... Ira and Val are awesome. I learned a lot. I was extremely nervous sand I was way out of my comfort zone but they made me feel at ease. They treat you like family and I had a all around great time and I learned so much. So many things that I didn’t know about the Yoga lifestyle and philosophy. I definitely recommend checking them out of your thinking about become a Yoga instructor or if you want a yoga retreat.

I want to thank Valerie and Ira for holding this space for an unforgettable month. Spending the past four weeks here has been more than I ever could have imagined or asked for, and I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity. Each day at Zen Den is a new adventure filled with learning experiences and great energy. Beyond the physical yoga practice, you dive deep into discovering your Self and how that reflects on the world around. It is a beautiful place for people to come together from all over and have a sense of family to learn from & connect with. The things you learn here (whether they

I had an amazing retreat experience at Zen Den Yoga School. Val and Ira were very accommodating. They've created a really beautiful space here. I love how they make it open and tailored to each person's own experience. I was able to get exactly what I needed from my retreat, and I appreciate that. They also did a great job pairing us up for roommate options and had great recommendations for dinner spots and afternoon activities. I enjoyed Ira's fireside chats and morning meditations as well as Val's afternoon yoga classes. There was a bit of miscommunication on one small event, but understandable
