As a mountain guide, I have been sharing yoga with people in a mountain setting for years now leading yoga ski trips, yoga rock climbing adventures, and teaching yoga whenever I can on mountaineering trips around the world in places like Denali, Nepal, Indonesia, and locally here in Utah. I started doing yoga 12 years ago after I had been guiding for several years. It has helped me save my body from the pounding I was imposing on it carrying heavy packs and climbing around. Through yoga I have learned how to listen to my body, how to breath more fully, and how to calm my mind in a way that makes everything I do in life more vibrant. Now I guide people to Higher Levels of HEALTH as a Health Coach! I inspire people to new levels of wellness in the body and mind! I am a Certified Health Coach through Cate Stillmans' Yoga Health Coach program. It has been an amazing and fun journey of learning. I am so grateful for these habits as they have rocked my life in the best of ways. I am so thankful to know this knowledge to share with my son and husband. We are all healthier and happier with these habits in place. If I had known this stuff growing up I would have saved myself a lot of injury and suffering. Please learn this and teach your kids!!!!I did my first yoga training in Nepal, which was a 200hr intensive month long training. I went into the training directly after guiding a 3 week trip over there where I had worked myself into a very painful back problem. I was hoping to heal it in the training and greatfully it worked. Where I could not bend over or move my back at all in the beginning, by the end I could fold myself in half and had more flexibility than ever in my life. I realized the power we have to heal our own bodies with yoga, nutrition, and meditation.
