Blissed by Nature

Blissed by Nature Offering mindful outdoor experiences to connect with your own true nature of bliss Imagine a walking meditation without having to meditate.

Like yoga, mindfully soaking up a forest’s sensory stimuli - the aroma of damp wood, the sound of crunching leaves, the feeling of plush moss, the gurgling of a stream - has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and blood pressure. Let's combine a vigorous hike and off-the-mat yoga to create 90 minutes of well-being for mind, body and soul. In 2021, we also offer 60-minute ZENwalks, a soothing sau

nter that decelerates stress and calms anxiety, while reigniting our senses and reconnecting to nature.

🇺🇸✨ Happy Interdependence Day! ✨🌿
This Fourth of July, let’s celebrate something even deeper than independence: Interdependence.

When we slow down enough to truly pay attention, we begin to notice that nothing exists in isolation. The breath we take is offered by the trees. The wildflowers depend on pollinators. The trails we walk are shaped by countless seasons, creatures, and caretakers. We, too, are woven into this intricate web of life.

Join me for a mindful YOGAhike at Galena Creek as we explore what it means to belong—to move beyond striving and reconnect with the quiet understanding that we are supported, connected, and never separate from the natural world.

Through hiking, gentle standing yoga, breathwork, and sensory mindfulness practices, we’ll pause long enough to remember our place within the whole.

🌿 Friday, July 4
🥾 8:00–10:00 AM
📍 Galena Creek Recreation Area

Come celebrate Interdependence Day with movement, wonder, and community. Part of proceeds support the educational programs of Great Basin Institute.

Breathe deeply. Walk slowly. Stretch the body, expand the mind.

A YOGAhike is an invitation to transform your relationship with stress, with nature, and with yourself. As we move through wild places, old samskaras—those deeply worn mental grooves—begin to soften.

One breath.
One step.
One moment of awe and awareness at a time.

The trail doesn’t change who we are.
It helps us remember.

Feeling uninspired?

Go for a walk in nature.

Not to find answers.
Not to force creativity.

Just wander.

Let the wind untangle your thoughts, the birds interrupt your worries, and the wildflowers remind you that beauty doesn’t try so hard.

Inspiration often finds us when we stop looking for it.

We alternate hiking, off-the-mat yoga, and mindful moments to create vibrant well-being for your stressed nervous system. Find out how to get Blissed by Nature. On a ​YOGAhike, you leave the predictability of the studio behind to experience vibrant well-being for your body, mind, and nervous system. Your brain doesn’t just enjoy nature, it responds to it.
We are blending hiking, standing yoga, forest bathing invitations, and mindful pauses to reawaken the senses, calm the nervous system, and help you feel present, connected, and alive. An outdoor tea ceremony helps to integrate the experience, so you leave calm, centered, and ready for the weekend.

I used to get seasonal affective disorder because I didn’t go outside when the weather was “bad”. Then I bought a rain jacket. Problem solved.

Join me Saturday, June 6, for a rain-or-shine YOGAhike. Signup link in bio.

The woods feel different in the early morning.
Before the trail fills with footsteps.
Before the world asks anything of you.

Just cool air in your lungs, birds waking up one by one, and the soft hush of pine needles under your feet.

I go there for the kind of solitude that doesn’t feel lonely.
The kind that helps me hear myself again.

What would your day look like if you stopped believing that stressed out is an unchangeable state?

“Meet me at sunset.”
At the hour when the desert exhales.

There’s something about walking at dusk that softens the edges of the day. The nervous system begins to downshift. The mind stops gripping so tightly. Light turns golden, then lavender, then blue.

You notice things you would miss at noon — the glow on the mountains, the scent of blooming chokecherry bushes, the fleeting wildflowers already preparing to close for the night. Ephemeral beauty asking only to be witnessed.

This in-between time matters.
Not fully day. Not yet night.
A transition the body understands deeply.

Maybe that’s why evening walks feel less like exercise and more like returning to yourself.

Get outside. You won’t regret it.

I’ll be starting YOGAhikes and ZENwalk Tahoe in January 2026. Leave a DM if you want to get on my mailing list.

Also in the works: an online training for yoga teachers on how to use nature as an ally in creating transformative experiences. Are you interested in?
