2 Weeks of Yoga and Healthy Eating in Ecuador

I'm so excited! I was just asked to lead a Yoga and Wellness Tour through Ecuador by my friend who owns FairTravel4u. This is exciting for me because, not only do I love Ecuador, I have been practicing yoga for almost twenty years. I've also studied health and nutrition for quite some time - so everything about this trip is going to be fantastic.

Here is the information for the trip. It will take place March of 2017, and I must find 10-20 yogis to bring with me.

Ever wanted to do yoga in the Amazon? On the beach? In the Andes?


Then join us on our

 2-week Yoga and Wellness Tour through Ecuador

Practice daily guided yoga and healthy eating while exploring the beautiful country of Ecuador. With two yoga sessions per day, along with meditation, massage, reiki, canoeing, and horseback riding, you are sure to be regenerated in both body and spirit.

Experience sunrise sessions overlooking lakes and mountain valleys and surrounded by a chorus of birds. Practice ocean-side Kundalini as waves rumble in the distance. Enjoy the smell of fragrant flowers and chatter of insects as a meditation session in the jungle carries you off to sleep.

The tour starts in the Andes where you will stay in a peaceful mountain lodge overlooking the largest freshwater lake in the country. Then we will take canoes into the Amazon where we spend a few days in a jungle lodge, searching for birds, exotic flowers, and river Caiman. From there we visit the coast and stay ocean-side, passing local villages and rustic communities along the way. And we end our tour in the sacred valley of Vilcabamba, also known as the Valley of Longevity, some of whose inhabitants are said to be over 120 years old.

The Wellness Tour includes many of your healthy meals during the trip, all lodging based on two participants sharing a room, guided jungle and mountain tours with a naturalist, English-speaking guide, all four in-country flights, two yoga sessions per day, meditation sessions, two massages (one with reiki), and all group activities during the trip.


Dates: March 4-18, 2017
Price: $2500

We will be heading to the Andes as soon as we debark the plane, staying at a lodge in the mountains with a view of a Volcano and the largest freshwater lake in Ecuador. From there we head into the Amazon jungle - entering by boat to our island lodge on a large lake. We will be able to see exotic birds, monkeys, coatis, capybaras, insects, frogs, butterflies, Amazon dolphins, caiman, and much more! We will have plenty of time around our yoga sessions to explore and wildlife watch.

From the jungle we will travel to the coast, where we will do our daily yoga overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We will take a tour through the surrounding valleys where we will interact with small, local communities who still thrive off of fishing and growing fruit. We will have a beach bonfire (weather permitting) and a full body massage.

Then we will head back into the mountains to a lodge complete with beautiful gardens and the largest yoga studio in Ecuador. There we will practice Kundalini, meditation, and air yoga, as we overlook scenic valleys and rolling hills. We can birdwatch from the platform and see other critters as we travel by horseback or hike through the valleys and cliffs toward local waterfalls.

And all of this while eating healthy! What more could you ask for?

So if you'd like to join us, get in touch! Promise it will be well worth your while. Because of the rich beauty of the seldom-touched countryside and forests of Ecuador, and the politeness of the people, it has remained one of my favorite countries in the world. I'm always excited at the opportunity to return.

Antelope Island State Park - best place for sunsets in all of Utah

Image
If you've never been to Antelope Island State Park in Syracuse, Utah, then you are missing out on a wonderful wildlife and nature viewing experience. Antelope Island is a preserve made up of a desert shrub and grassland island surrounded by the scenic Great Salt Lake. Standing on the shore of the Great Salt Lake is like standing on the coast of an ocean. Tiny islands dot the view and the lake goes on as far as the eye can see. Lone Pronghorn On the island you can see all kinds of wildlife, including pronghorn, bighorn sheep, American bison, porcupines, badgers, coyotes, bobcats, owls, and millions of waterfowl. The Great Salt Lake is an important rest and nesting stop for birds migrating through the Western United States. Looking to the North from the rocky cliffs at my favorite sunset spot This all adds up to a beautiful and scenic day at the "beach". Although camping is allowed at a campground on the island so you can extend your stay. The entran...

The Case for Gray Wolf Reintroduction in Colorado (on the ballot for November 2020)

Image
There is a motion on the 2020 Colorado ballot to allow the reintroduction of gray wolves to the state of Colorado. This is an exciting opportunity for animal lovers and conservationists alike. And though the subject is a much-debated one, here is my reasoning for voting for this initiative... The Science: In a perfectly balanced world, all ecosystems are self-sustainable. This means that vegetation is lush and abundant, providing food and shelter for prey and other animals alike, while top predators keep prey animals (herbivores) in check, so that they don't decimate the vegetation. It's a perfect circle, and can naturally remain in balance until something comes along and upsets part of it. For example, humans killing off all of the top predators. Wolves, mountain lions and grizzly bears are the top predators of Colorado (although wolves and grizzlies have been extirpated by hunters since the 1950's). They hunt prey that are larger than themselves, such as elk and moo...

A Day with the Wolves

Image
I drove 3 hours down to Guffey, Colorado the other day to visit the rescued wolves at Rocky Mountain Wildlife Foundation. I had been wanting to visit them for a long time, and finally found some time to do it right after New Year's. The sun was shining and the day was clear, despite the wintry weather, and I had the wolves all to myself! Mark, the founder of RMWF, told me a little bit about the wolves under his care, which for the most part were rescued from abusive pet owners who had bitten off a little more than they could chew with trying to raise a wolf. Some of the wolves were wolf-dog mixes, and some of them were 100% wolf. I got to get up close and personal with some of these wolves, and they were full of pure love and affection! Mark spent years working with these rescued animals, some of which were so fearful of humans when they came to the center that they wouldn't let him anywhere near them. Now they all love him, and it's fun to watch him interact and play ...
