Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

Yoga for the mind, hiking for the body and red rocks for the soul sounds a lot like a trip to Arizona. Arizona is believed to possess spiritual energy optimal for healing and meditation called the Red Rock Vortex. This vortex is caused by an ebb and flow of spiritual energy moving through and around the desert from the ancient red rocks.

 

With such positive energy flowing through Arizona, many vacationers seek out yoga and hiking retreats for their next detox. For yoga beginners and master yogis alike, Yoga Life offers retreats for those interested in a little rest and exercise among nature.

 

For five days in February, nature lovers can experience a Sedona and Grand Canyon Retreat at the Arabella Hotel for $1,440 per person (double occupancy) and $1,800 for a private room. The active, beautiful getaway includes yoga every day, light hikes through the red rocks, a full daytrip to the Grand Canyon, meditation coaching and a pool at the hotel.

 

The trip also includes an itinerary for every day away and allows for guided hikes with other guests as well as free time for people to explore the resort on their own. With an organized trip to rejuvenate body, mind and soul, it seems no wonder so many people travel to Arizona each year for a relaxing and revitalizing experience.
