Forever young, Judy from L.A. Thank you for letting me guide you on a glorious half-day hike through Johnston Canyon to the Ink Pots in Banff National Park 💚✨

I’ll keep you safe. You keep it wild & free 💚✨

Observe how you move on and off the mat, when you’re alone and with others.

Happy Monday! A new day, a new week, endless possibilities 💚✨

All the smiles with Ritsuko and her children en route to Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park!

Your Kananaskis adventure begins with a morning yoga class!

Thank you for your kind words, Katie! I just love hearing how my clients enjoy their Rockies experiences 💚✨

Hiking really makes you appreciate how little you need to be happy. Like yoga, it is a practice in learning what not to bring, so keep it simple and you’ll realize you don’t need all that stuff you’re carrying 💚✨

No wifi here, yet the connection is so much better 💚

Elevate your mountain spa experience with an indoor or outdoor yoga class and guided nature walk or hike.

As one door closes, another opens. I am so incredibly grateful for the last six years at the original space. It has been such a privilege creating connections and growing in community there, and I look forward to sharing and moving together at the new location 🤍🙏

Friendly reminder 💚

Some people hike for the destination. Some people hike for the journey. I hike for the friendships… and the snacks 💚

Join Michelle for 1-day mindfulness retreats of self-care, reflection, and community in the heart of the Canadian Rockies! Move through a nourishing morning yoga flow and wander through the natural expansive landscape of our National Parks. In addition to departing this wellness experience with a sense of peace and rejuvenation, you will receive a curated gift bag of some of Michelle’s favourite natural and environmentally conscious personal use items.

Too often do we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, an attentive ear, a sincere compliment, or a subtle act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around 🤍

One of my favourite things about hiking is the lack of wifi. Powering down from the world allows me to feel centred and grounded in the present moment.

The body is a wondrous thing. Once you learn to appreciate yours, it will guide you home.

Hello from Helen Lake! On Day 2 of our program, we hiked through beautiful alpine meadows adorned with wildflowers and gained impressive views of Dolomite & Cirque Peaks, Mount Hector, and the Bow Valley. This trail truly is a Rockies Classic!
