Following the circle, we will enjoy special munchies, and do intimate one-to-one sharing.  About a half hour before midnight, we will enter the silence in group meditation.

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.

Chiropractic Staff Retreat:

"Our Sedona experience was magical.  Our office went to Sedona with the hopes that each staff member and myself might experience physical, mental, and spiritual renewal.  A close friend had insisted we contact Maheshvari (Johanna) to lead us on our retreat.  I must say that each of our experiences were beyond anything we had imagined.  We each left with a new sense of purpose and vision not only in our working lives, but in our personal lives as well.  Upon returning, our practice ignited. We had the two biggest months in our ten year history.  I still treasure the memories experienced while in Sedona and am thankful for Maheshvari's guidance, patience, and intuitiveness that led to tremendous breakthroughs that have made me a better person and physician."
Dr. Dennis A. Harris, D.C.

Our Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking Vortex Retreats are
for anyone who wants to expand aliveness
and cultivate ongoing contentment. 
Have a lot of fun sharing the depth of yoga and hiking amid Sedona’s majestic red rock vortexes.
Beginners are most welcome!  

Dear Johanna,    
What can I say but WOW!  Your leadership of our 4-day Sedona Spirit Yoga and Hiking Vortex Retreat was superb.  From your expertise in hiking the Red Rocks of Sedona, to your extensive knowledge of yoga, to your attunement to the energy of the ecosystem---you are a masterpiece of nature!  The first time we spoke on the telephone, your vivacious personal energy immediately established rapport. I was delighted to experience four glorious days in spiritual renewal and rejuvenation with you in beautiful Sedona AZ. As a result, I am amazed at my newly-found clarity of purpose.  I highly recommend you, your heartfelt presence, your passion for helping people, and your awesome retreat to anyone needing a well-being boost!

Much love and appreciation to you, Cathy
