I feel wonderfully exhausted. The hiking and yoga were a great combination and when I stand in the yoga studio with my eyes closed I will imagine myself back on the rock. MOAB YOGA on the ROCKS- was everything I had hoped for and more. Lis, Mic and Martha were great hosts and very knowledgeable. We shared a lot of laugh too- I’m relaxed and refreshed.

My first backpacking retreat EVER! To say this was an amazing experience is an understatement. This was a rich experience in every way. I have to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your wisdom, your guidance, your patience, your strength and for letting me see a piece of your souls. The yoga sessions on the rock is permanently burned into my memory. You guys are awesome for sharing that with me. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to take all these little tokens home with me, most importantly a little slice of the desert and a few thoughts from Terry Tempest…I love you guys. I hope to see you next year if I can make it work!!

Thor Rules!

I really enjoyed coming down here again. It was so beautiful to see the desert in the rain. I loved the hike; it is so different to walk on sandstone. And again the yoga and meditation was amazing! Thank you so much for this great experience, it’s so refreshing to escape the city!

-Larry F.

-Amy A.

I loved this retreat, Micky,M and Lis were so refreshing,how fun and layed back they are. I especially loved that we weren't stuck in a specific schedule, it was just what I needed to get away from all the stresses back at home. There isn't anything I would change about this trip except make it longer if I could, I just can't get enough of the three. Also the yoga was great, i am picky when it comes to my teachers, but I would definitely go to lis's class if I where in salt lake city.

-Jocelyn D.

Thank you for the most amazing experience. Moab Yoga (myotr) was both rejuvenating and challenging. This beautifule desert was the perfect place to practice yoga and meditation. I especially appreciate the fact that it wasn't too touchy feely,new age, granola, peace loveing.....you're grounded in all the right ways and hopfully you've taught me (or at least pointed me in the right direction) how to do that in every day life.

- Lisa S.

I have such gratitude to each of you for a beautiful journy that opened my mind and heart to the desert-and to the practice of yoga and meditation-considering I'm a beginner,I'm modivated to move forward to learn much more. Thank you. Thank you. What a great Time!

-Suzette E.

Thank you for your spirit and energy. Our time together will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my days. I am not the same person who walked into this beautiful land. I am reborn. With love....

-Chris M.

An unforgettable experience. Thank you for sharing your passions and reminding me that the path to loving and being loved is through an open heart. All my love...

-Mike V.

Our trek into the desert with lis and mic left the feeling of calm, collected and all in all peaceful!The exercises,yoga and conversations experienced while on the trip gave me much needed perspective on my life and rejuvenated me for the busy days ahead.

-Miken C.

I think that Moab is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Doing yoga and camping out was an amazing way to experience the power and spirit of the dessert. Thank you Lis,Mic and M for making this possible!

-T H.

Yoga will never be the same again. Thank you for helping me allow the desert to teach me to slow down and "just be".

P.S. Give my regards to THOR!

-Dallas B.

I totally believe that everyone was brought together on this trip for a reason to help each other. I learned something from every person. This knowledge has helped me reflect on my life and how out of proportion some things were. I have decided to come back to the "simple" and the "straight forward" approach of the desert, and live in this way. Thank you so much for being patient with my backpacking questions. I really needed knowledge-and now I'm hooked on backpacking. Such a new and free approach to any yoga routine.

-Lisa B.

I've never taken more pictures in my life! Everywhere we turned, there was another unbelievable vista to admire. On the ground were endless little sights to behold of flowers and lizards and cripto and all a manner of excited, vibrant LIFE! Nothing however could beat the company and the interaction. Here were four participants and three fabulously experienced, humorous and friendly guides, each bringing their own personal body of knowledge. I will never forget my experience here! I learned so much about living in nature, yoga, and most importantly about myself!

-Jim S

Thanks to Elisabeth, M and Mic for a rejuvenating, reinventing, educational and over all amazing four days in the amazing desert of Canyonlands. Our yoga studio was breathtaking and the amount of instruction perfect for my beginner level, challenging but achievable. The retreat was a great construction of action and quiet, time to discuses and time to reflect. The group size of 5 is great too. Elisabeth, M and Mic were perfect complements to each other, always ready to answer questions on ALL sorts of topics! I'll be thinking about you (or trying not to think about you) when I'm doing my morning meditation. Hoping our paths cross again. Love...

-Nancy B.

Had a really good time. I loved the wilderness dharma talks, it was so refreshing to do yoga outside surrounded by such gorgeous scenery. The food was very deluxe for backpacking and everything was very well done. Thank you all very much.

-Larry F.

An inspiring landscape that sets the perfect stage for reflection. A good balance between solitude and community.

-M R.

This was a great way to reconnect with myself and with nature. The mix of the backpacking and yoga is great. And the leaders make the trip- they are warm and welcoming, and cook awesome meals!

-Elizabeth H.

Moab yoga on the Rocks was everything that I thought it would be and more! Our guides insured that we would have plenty of group time and plenty of individual time. The hikes were amazing and the yoga even more so.

-Meredith W.

What an awesome time I had! Thank you all for your efforts in getting me into the wild and starting off my summer with a BANG! Everyone was smart, fun and amazingly interesting ad strong. It was a GREAT bonding experience. Thanx! Peace....

-Pam H.

The last few days down here in the needles have been a little pause in a busy life. A time to truly be...take in the beauty of the desert, eat amazing food, be lead thru a powerful vinyasa and be taught some wonderful meditation. We laughed and got to know each other and in the process learned a little bit more about ourselves. Lis, Mic and M...you three were such great leaders and teachers. I hope you keep doing this for a long time. I will definitely be back!
