Emails from Sedona Vortex Hike Participants

About Kate’s Hike--

Thank you very much for arranging a wonderful Yoga hike for myself and my husband Michael.  Last Monday we were led by Kate on a beautiful journey full of discovery.

Her knowledge of the environment around us, and the sacred traditions of the peoples here before us, helped us open our hearts to each other and the universe.

Our week in Sedona began with this memorable experience and allowed us to truly appreciate how fortunate we were to be in this magical place.

My husband was able to do some photography while we had a yoga practice.  I thought you might enjoy his picture of us.

Peace,

Cindy

About Nanci ’s Hike--

Hi Johanna!
My sister and I had such a wonderful time hiking Cathedral Rock this past Saturday. Nancy was fantastic, and such a great leader and teacher. The day was absolutely amazing!
I am so glad that I found your site, met you and experienced Sedona the Yogalife way!
Thank you... Namaste...
peace and love,
Sue

About Ed ’s 6-Hour Hike--


Dear Johanna,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much Jolanta, Kathy and I enjoyed our 6 hour hike with Ed. I guess I was expecting a "Grizzly Adams" kind of fellow  who may not have had a tolerance for three middle aged women on a personal quest for who knows what.  Ed was perfect! He had so much knowledge about the land and history and shared this information with us making the hike even more interesting.   

And though the climb was rather strenuous at times, his faith in our ability never faltered. This was a BID DEAL!  We climbed that mountain!  (insert TAH DAH!) I am especially grateful for the experience of walking that last hundred feet in silence and with mindfulness. The exhilaration of being at the top, heart pounding, almost brought me to tears as I thought of my accomplishment and the glory of God around me.  (Catholic girl, Ed knows.)  On our way down the mountain Ed made a medicine wheel. He revealed things to us that a stranger could not know...we nodded in agreement as he told us of our journeys. 

We also enjoyed the labyrinth and the Tibetan Stupa. My sister and I carefully planned what each of us would give to Buddha and I know that I came there with a heavy heart filled with the stress and restlessness of working and having a family, feeling as though I had lost some sense of myself. So what you have on your hands, are three "Chakra Khan Chicks" who are mad about ED! (Our nickname!) Please pass this email along to him. Let him know that I will be making a medicine wheel in my garden soon. Thank You,

Wanda

About Johanna's Hike--

Dear Johanna,

With immeasurable gratitude, I thank you for taking me and Sue on a beautiful hike to such spiritual and healing locations.  I am grateful that our paths have crossed.  Through your teaching, I learned how important it is to see beyond challenges to solutions, and to grow beyond limitations into new revelations.  I felt embraced with such comfort as you guided us on our own personal spiritual journey. 

I came across this quote which reminded me of you:  "Some people are truly angels on earth.  They fill our hearts with gratitude for who they are and the wonderful ways they express love and caring to us and to the world."  - Doreen Virtue

I will always cherish this experience in my heart, and i look forward to seeing you in the future.

With Love & Gratitude,
Tracy Gordon

Johanna is overflowing with incredible positive energy. Not only was she my yoga instructor, she also became my tour guide, holistic healer, spiritual guide and friend. Our Sedona vortex yoga hike experience was so healing that when my dear friend Sandy returned home, her cancer was in remission for months. A year later, as she passed on, Sandy requested that we scatter her ashes on the site where we had done yoga with Johanna in Sedona. Johanna led our family and friends in a Sedona farewell celebration of life for Sandy that we will always cherish.

6 Great Yoga Hikes
After attending a Sedona Spirit vortex yoga hike led by Johanna, author Gina DeMillo, cited Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking as one of six outstanding hiking adventures in the United States. She wrote—“Sedona Spirit will guide you through several vortex sites on yoga-hike trips ranging from a four-hour jaunt to a five-day retreat.  You’ll brush through fragrant fields of sage and juniper, past flowering prickly pear cacti, and dip into canyons below red rock spires to explore ancient Native American cliff dwellings.   Along the trail, you’ll stop to learn gentle Hatha yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, meditation and chakra balancing.”
