GUEST COMMENTS ABOUT MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES
Attending Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking Vortex Retreats
Johanna,
The retreat was a joy in so many ways, from the fabulous backdrop of Sedona's red hills to the sacred space that you created for us each and every day. The yoga, meditation, hiking, Buddhist temple, were all so lovingly arranged and delivered. Thank you for showing me a path to sacred places, both within and outside of me. You are a great teacher. I left feeling more at home in the world than I can ever recall, so I hope to return again some day.
All my best,
Ann, IT Management, Arlington, VA

Dear Johanna,
I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart and my husband Ed's for such an enlightening weekend. If anyone is doing the Spirit’s work, you are:) We meditated to your CD last night. How relaxing. Thank you and may God continue to bless your "helping" journey.
Ed and I still talk about our "honeymoon" retreat. It was an awesome experience and a perfect way to start a marriage.
Elaine Buehner, Flight Attendant, South Plainfield, NJ

A Yoga retreat in Sedona with Johanna is a unique experience. The Yoga classes were amazing; Johanna is a gifted teacher who makes students of all levels feel comfortable. Most memorable were Phoenix Rising sessions and Yoga among the red rocks. Come prepared to laugh, feel free, and be energized.

6 Great Yoga Hikes
Author Gina De Millo, cited Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking as one of six outstanding hiking adventures in the United States. Gina 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 hike trail, you’ll stop to learn gentle Hatha yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, meditation and chakra balancing.”

Head Trips
Writing about a dozen “Holidays for Body and Soul,” author Katy Koontz included Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking vortex retreats as one of the spiritual vacations that “have a more lasting impact than your typical see-all-the-sights or lie-on-the-beach getaway that leaves you will little more than some souvenirs and a tan.” Recommending our Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking vortex retreats, Katy wrote—“Adventure with Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking includes American Indian spirituality rituals (medicine wheels, etc.), plus daily hike to power vortexes in Arizona’s red rock country.”

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
November 2001
More Than Skin Deep
Alternative Medicine Magazine sent author Dawn Gallager with her photographer to attend a Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking retreat yoga class and go on a private vortex yoga hike to Bell Rock with Johanna.
In her article about the experience, Dawn wrote—“With a soft, clear voice, Johanna gently led us into triangle stands, the plough, cobra and more, making sure we did the poses correctly. Then we went to Bell rock for hiking and yoga stretching amid views that were absolutely breathtaking…. Johanna believes that yoga is so much more than postures; it is a way of life that can lead to vibrant health, well-being and peace.”

ESSENCE
January 2001
Sojourns for the Soul
Essence Magazine sent Author Akissi Britton to attend a 3-Day Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking vortex retreat following a stressful time in her life. For their Lifestyle and Travel Section, Akissi Britton participated in and wrote about the retreat experience firsthand. In her article, Akissi wrote—“After settling in, Johanna led my two fellow participants and me in a guided yoga meditation.
As I inhaled and exhaled deeply, visualizing my breath entering and leaving my body, I imagined the defensive barriers I’d erected for survival slowly crumbling. In the stillness that our meditation encouraged, I began once again to hear my inner voice whisper that everything would be okay.”
Akissi went on to describe the positive impact of the Sedona Spirit vortex yoga hikes, and a healing didgeridoo concert. She ended her article saying—“It wasn’t until later that I realized how carefully planned the retreat had been. Each activity took me further and further, as if to say, “Now you’re ready for a little more.” And I am ready—ready for a new year of love and healing.”

VALLEY GUIDE
Summer 2005
Soothe Your Soul
Northern Arizona Single-Day Getaways to Rejuvenate the Spirit
Author Amy Abrams was happy to spend a day with us doing research for her article. She wrote about how she benefited from a psychic reading and three-hour vortex yoga hike with our Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking team. About her yoga hike, she commented that she was “impressed with the heightened vitality from postures at this exquisite vortex site…and the beauty and power of this sacred spot.”
Amy’s long Sedona adventure ended with a late yoga therapy appointment with Johanna, about which she wrote—“Johanna Mosca was eager to facilitate my spiritual growth with a one-on-one session in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy—a combination of classical yoga and mind-body psychology that promotes a powerful release of tension from emotional issues held within the body. With Mosca assisting me through yoga postures and guided breathing with the aid of specifically chosen aromatherapy oils, I release old, deeply stored body memories. This is a profound process providing valuable insights and dramatic release of tensions form a difficult period in my life. I am so tired following the session that it is not until the next morning that I realize how light, peaceful, and free I feel. Now weeks later, I am enjoying the positive results of clearing deeply rooted negative emotion.”
