Your path to longevity and strength in mind
and body through yoga can take you through some of the
most breathtaking environments in the southwest.
Imagine a sunrise yoga session overlooking the Colorado
River or among the world-famous Red Stone Towers of
Monument Valley. With this special 5-day tour, you
can enjoy an enhanced yoga experience in places that can
helo you put the rest of the world on hold for a while.
Day 1 -With a morning departure from Phoenix, our
tour gains 6000 feet in elevation as we climb through
the ever changing life zones that line the route to
Flagstaff and the nearby Wupatki/Sunset Crater National
Monument. This National Monument offers Ancestral
Puebloan dwellings dating back to 44 A.D. and are set
against the backdrop of the San Francisco Peaks to the
South and the Painted Desert to the North. Welcome to
the first yoga session of our journey. An after-session
lunch at the cameron Trading Post on the Navajo Nation
is next, on our way to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal
Park for a tour and our sunset session. Monument Valley
is a spectacular time capsule, a place where the Navajo
lifestyle of 100 years ago has changed little. We have
found a special site to enjoy the sunset. Dinner and an
overnight stay are in Kayenta.
Day 2 -Today begins with a trip through a
dramatically sculpted sandstone region to Page and Lake
Powell. our introduction to Page is a private slot
canyon called simple, Canyon X. This region of Northern
Arizona and Southern Utah is riddled with dramatic
sandstone canyon systems. Some of these slot canyons are
over 100 feet deep, with only 3-4 feet of width at the
bottom. We cannot think of a better way to feel at one
with planet earth than Canyon X. After a 4 wheel drive
approach, we have a short hike to the bottom of this
pristine sanctuary od sculpted red sandstone. Following
our session in the canyon, your guide will share some of
Page's best scenic views and the history of this remote
outpost that has become a world famous playground for
active outdoor travelers. Our sunset session can take
place either overlooking the 186 mile long Lake Powell
or from a peaceful vista above the Colorado River.
Dinner and overnight in Page.
Day 3 - After a short trip from Page, we will
drive to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, to the banks of
the Colorado River at Lee's ferry. The ferry site,
abandoned in 1928 with the completion of the massive
bridge upstream in Page, is the zero mile of the Grand
Canyon. All river float trips start here, and this is
the site of of today's first session. We will then
follow the path of the river and travel south to the
South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Your guide will
lead you to the best views that the south rim has to
offer. Our sunset session will be along the rim tonight.
Dinner and overnight stay in grand Canyon National Park.
Day 4 - Today we greet the sunrise at the south
rim of the Grand Canyon for our morning session. The
Grand Canyon is 277 miles long and is 4800 feet deep and
14-17 miles across where we are today. As we say goodbye
to the Grand Canyon, we move south to enjoy one of the
country's best scenic highways through Oak Creek Canyon,
just before our arrival in Sedona. Sedona has become a
haven for artists, hikers and spiritual pilgrims from
all walks of life. The picture perfect setting at the
foot of the Colorado Plateau lends itself to solitude
and private outdoor exploration. Our second session of
the day will be sunrise from a special overlook. Dinner
and overnight stay in Sedona.
Day 5 - The morning session today is sunrise in
Sedona followed by a scenic tour of the area on our way
back to Phoenix. We arrive in Phoenix at approximately
3:00pm.
