What makes our Sedona hikes special is that we help you make a deep connection with the sacred energy of the land. On our three or four-hour hikes to Sedona vortexes, we walk somewhere between a half mile and two miles, round trip, depending upon your preference. We can refer you to associates if you would like a longer, rigorous hike. On our leisurely vortex yoga hikes, we guide you to “Relax, Release, Receive and Renew!”  Our Sedona yoga guides lead you to awesome vortex sites and guide you in a meditation to clear your mind, body and spirit, and then set intentions and launch them with powerful energy. We guide you amid the best hiking trails and can make your experience a very gentle, short nature walk, a moderate hike, or a lively jaunt amid Sedona hike trails.  In just one hike, we help you access the inner peace and higher consciousness that Sedona vortexes are known for worldwide.

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.”
