Transformational & Life Changing~
“I highly recommend it! I experienced Johanna in a small group setting during a family girls trip. It was a deeply powerful experience. Outside of the beautiful teachings, meditation, and yoga she led, just being in Johanna’s presence is a profound experience in and of itself.”
–Bianca
Spiritual Harmony~
“From my initial phone call with Johanna, I was drawn to her authentic spiritual nature. I knew my family and I were in for an experience to remember. She carries a familiarity, comfort, peace and wisdom… making you feel right at home. Our Rainy Day yoga practice was the perfect blend of introspection, meditation and a gentle yoga flow. Prior to your arrival, Johanna takes the time to get to know those attending… preparing, studying and gearing the practice to best fit the needs and desires of the group. With love and wholeheartedness, I recommend any and all to sign up for Johanna’s classes/workshops. Truly the best around!”

1972 University of Illinois Friends’ Reunion at a Sedona Spirit Yoga Event~
“Johanna is an excellent teacher and leader. I was with 7 women friends from college. We learned about the vortexes, meditation, did some yoga while walking to a few special places in Sedona. She took the time to learn some things about each of us as well as our group dynamics which made the event very personal, rewarding, and bonding. I highly recommend Johanna’s events.”

Birthday Celebration Vortex Journey~
“Booked the vortex journey with Johanna for my sister’s birthday. It was an incredible journey! Johanna thought of everything to make this experience personal, healing, fun, comfortable and beautiful. She really provided us the full experience including meditation, nature, yoga, as well as history of the area. She was kind enough to extend our time together as well. So much more than what I expected! My sister and friends had a fabulous experience. Absolutely recommend!”
–Asterisk
Unforgettable and Magical Event!
“A MUST do while in Sedona. Johanna was wonderful and led us through a very spiritual and powerful day we will never forget. I booked this day for my best friend as part of her bachelorette party, we did a bridal blessing with Johanna. A quick hike with amazing views, tuning in with the Earth, yoga and sound bath under a beautiful tree, and giving the bride our best wishes for her. It was magical, beautiful, and something none of us will ever forget!”
–Kristin
Family Vortex Hike and Meditation~
“Our family’s first trip to Sedona and we were looking for a yoga hike in the energy vortex. With our group though (2 teenagers, 4 kids, and 6 adults) we had to alter our idea a bit and go with what Johanna suggested… and it was a perfect experience! Johanna brought a friend along who took the kids and teenagers on their own journey (they hiked a bit, local plants were described to them, yoga poses, and their spirit animal cards were read). Johanna took the adults in our group and we participated in a guided meditation and read our Shaman Oracle cards. We weren’t able to practice yoga due to the ground being wet and muddy from snowfall the night before. It was a wonderful family experience. We learned a lot about the area, the local energy vortexes, and having our cards read was an added bonus! We highly suggest this for a fun and different family outing.”
–Claudia
Vortex Yoga Hike~
“Our time with Johanna was great—it truly encompassed our “Sedona experience”…the Creekside meditation was wonderful – the stream provided a beautiful setting to calm our minds. The yoga site with views of Cathedral Rock was gorgeous. Even when it started to rain, she did her best to accommodate us and really took her time with us – especially since we were a group of 10! The shamanic reading was a nice touch as well. Thank you, Johanna, for making our 40th birthday celebration a memorable one!”
–Neda
Fantastic!
“We can’t say enough about the time we had with Johanna. She led us on a wonderful journey during our time in Sedona. We found a hidden gem of a spot to take in the amazing red rocks and all Sedona offers. The best part was the personalized attention we received with what each of us had set as an intention. Johanna is very insightful and full of wisdom which we totally took in every second. We are grateful for her time, the connections we made, and her experience.”
–JCT
Bachelorette Spirit Yoga Day with Johanna~
“We had a bachelorette day trip to Sedona and really enjoyed our time with Johanna. She brought us to a sacred site to take in an energy vortex and the beautiful views. Johanna guided us through a relaxing yoga and meditation practice and a healing circle. She was very knowledgeable, kind, patient and was able to go with the flow of our large group of girls. All of the girls in our group left rejuvenated, inspired and so happy we shared such a moving day together. We would all love to go back and do it again!”
–Dr. Christen

YO Vinny–Live Strong!
Dear Johanna,
I just wanted to touch base to say thank you again for taking time out of your retreat to guide Vinny & I through an amazing Vortex experience at Bell Rock. We’ve been talking about it since we left Sedona. You have such a positive energy around you, and we were truly lucky to have met you. Attached are a couple of the pictures you took…they’re great! Thank you again.

Grateful Couple
I just wanted to write a quick message to thank Johanna and her staff for our wonderful 3 hour vortex hike. My wife Gena and I wanted to spend a nice morning with a hike and possibly some relaxing yoga.
We searched and searched the internet for Sedona places that provided these services and we could not have picked a better person for it! Johanna understands her surroundings and really made the experience better than what we expected. We came back from our hike satisfied and energized. Thanks again, Johanna!

Love is never letting go
Linda & I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful day in Sedona. Everything was perfect today, from taking us on a short hike up Bell Mountain, beautiful weather, incredible views, vortex discussions, a dedication to those recently passing away, reflections of our inner spiritual thoughts and topped off with an awesome yoga class in the best surroundings anyone can ask for. You made Linda & me very comfortable and your decision to bring in additional folks is a testament to your trust and love of people. Having time to think about and speak to Linda’s brother Bobby and my mom (recently deceased) was a special and unexpected moment for us. Linda also had tears in her eyes when I told her she was more beautiful than a flower, stronger than the earth and smarter than her father. We can never thank you enough for the experience we had today. Spending time with you was very, very, very good (clap)…yeah!
—Tom & Linda
Life in Full Swing
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.

Best things to do in SEDONA!
It was the best workout I have ever had. Doing meditation and Yoga at the vortex was such a relaxing, spiritual, peaceful, yet very powerful moment. Feeling that you are always connected to the universe, are protected and given love from god and angels and it’s just beautiful. Special thanks to Johanna, an inspirational lady!
—Yui Sakai “Lalachitta”
Family Sharing Time
Johanna, I loved the hiking, learning about the vortex theories and the meditation/family sharing time with the oils. That was a special time to say nice things to each other that we don’t normally say and it totally reinforced the love that we have for each other. You are a very special person, Johanna and I am so glad to have met you.
—Debbie, Dave and Daughter
Amy’s Girls’ Getaway
Amy and friends had a fun vortex hike to Bell Rock and enjoyed balancing in Tree Pose. All smiles!
Eye-Opening
Johanna, I wanted to share with you my ultimate gratitude for our journey together. You opened my eyes to a lot of what was bothering me and how strong I really am, not only spiritually,but mentally and physically. Breathing in my fear, allowed me to climb mountains and be on cliffs that I thought I would never be able to do.
You have made such a difference in my life and I truly thank you for your inspiration, kind words and guidance. The four hours we spent together I will never forget.
—Namaste, Caitlin
Leave it on the mountain!
Johanna and Libbi,
Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time Debbie, Cathe and I had on our hike with Libbi last Saturday. It was everything we had anticipated and more. Libbi is an awesome person and a nurturing and informative instructor. We are planning to come to Sedona again soon, and we will make another yoga hike a must-do on our trip! Thanks so much. Leave it on the mountain!
—Jill Van Horn
Greatest Experience We Had in Sedona!!
Hello, I visited Sedona with some friends of mine last month. During our stay, we booked your 4 hrs Vortex hikes and yoga tour and Libbi guided us to Cathedral rock and taught us Yoga. It was the greatest experience that we had in Sedona!! Thank you so much! If we visit Sedona again in the future, we will definitely book your tour again!

Soaking in the Vortex
Masako Visits from Japan and calls Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking from the tour guide book we appeared in. She is happy to be here and understands to watch out for the cactus and take the time to go within her deeper self to feel the vortex energy and her connection with God and Mother Earth. There is no need to speak English or Japanese or to speak at all. The Silence is the gift.
—Arigato, Masako
Growing Closer in Sedona!!
Dear Johanna, I appreciate your patience and understanding regarding my foot injury and my slow pace on your hike. It is healing and I am being mindful to stretch and rest between clients. Rick and I enjoyed the beautiful practice and the time together by the creek with such a special group.
Your meditation and practice and beautiful spirit set the intention for our time in Sedona. I believe Rick has a greater understanding of my passion for yoga and a heightened sense of possibility and peace. We definitely grew closer through this experience. I appreciate his and your spirit of adventure and openness. We had an amazing vacation which renewed our spirits as well as our relationship. Sedona is a place of healing and empowerment inspiring one to remember who we were born to be. Thank you.
—Love, Debbie and Rick
