TESTIMONIALS

Cassandra, Yoga + Hike Retreat

"I would highly recommend this activity as a way to begin any weekend get away. It really helped me relax and experience nature in a deep and peaceful way. I normally don't slow down enough for yoga but the hike before and after made me feel like I got the best of both worlds. Kelsi's stretching assists and lavender essential oils really added to the experience. She is an awesome person and great instructor.”

"This yoga hike was SO FUN. It was a perfect activity to do on a high country summer day with my sisters. The yoga felt so restorative, and it was perfect for any level of yogi. It was a great way to get outside and connect with a local. Highly recommend for a group of any kind!"

Lori, Yoga + Hike Retreat

"An amazing hike with unbelievable views. Kelsi took us through a wonderful yoga experience at the top of the mountain which was so grounding and peaceful. Such a great experience!"
Alexis, Yoga + Hike Retreat

"Kelsi’s guided hike & yoga was once in a lifetime for my husband & I! I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area in search of a rewarding workout on the body and mind - The 360 degree mountain view is breathtaking from the top! She was fun to chat with & did an excellent job of carefully leading the ascent while simultaneously adjusting to everyone else’s pace comfortably. New to yoga? So were we! & Kelsi was kind enough to provide us with yoga mats upon request. Her guided meditation left us refreshed & in tune in ways we didn’t know we needed tuning! Totally eye-opening. We’re happy to say we both practice yoga regularly now. Thanks Kelsi!"
Brock, Yoga + Hike Retreat

"My first yoga experience and will probably never be topped with those views! Perfect blend of mindfulness, breathing, stretching, and meditation."

MY teaching style

Root down

Ground and establish a strong foundation, physically and energetically. "Root down" serves as a reminder to stay connected, both to the earth and to oneself.
rise up

"Rise up" describes our personal growth, self-discovery, and resilience through practice. It’s about overcoming challenges, stepping outside of our comfort zone, and embracing new possibilities - on and off the mat.
rewild

Our ability to return to our most authentic expression of self, through acknowledging our primal connection to nature
and our place within it.
