Magical Sedona

Selected by the Readers of USA Weekend as the most beautiful place in the country, Sedona Arizona is truly magical. Red rock spires, dramatic sandstone towers, and wind shaped mesas rise from the desert floor to create a mystical setting. Views are breathtaking and you'll find a new one around every bend and hill. The warm red/orange light at sunset will surely ignite your spirit while Sedona's rich history will capture your imagination. Sedona is also famous for it's vortex sites -- places where electromagnetic energy fields naturally collect creating energy whirlpools which are said to have healing properties.

Deepen your practice of yoga

Something magical occurs when you can practice yoga in a setting as beautiful as this. The spectacular scenery combined with the special energy (prana) which Sedona is known for can dramatically deepen your physical and spiritual practice. Additionally, the ideal warm weather will soften your muscles, like minded people will help support your practice, and delicious fresh food will nourish you. And without the usual everyday distractions you're able to focus on your regular practice of yoga for an extended time in an environment that supports deepening and opening.

Yoga classes will be twice daily and include time for pranayama and meditation. Our asana practice will be primarily in the Iyengar tradition however we will also do some vinyasa (flow).

Your body and mind will de-stress, come into balance and you can expect to feel radiant and alive. All levels are welcome.
