I feel so lucky to cross paths with and get to collaborate with local ladies in our Grand Valley who are offering their unique talents and passions to elevate others.

Together, we amplify our impact and offer a multi-faceted retreat experience for each participant.

Thunderbird Yoga
Melissa was born and raised in our own Grand Valley and launched Thunderbird Yoga to share her gift of what she's learned through her own journey on the mat and on the bike trails. Our paths crossed in 2021 when Melissa volunteered as a Little Bellas mentor.

DarcMoon
Lynnea is owner and creator of DarcMoon. She'll guide us through the ancient art of hand-tying Malas with gemstones, her favorite creative expression as an artist. A lover of nature and the outdoors, community and travel are her sources of inspiration for her art.

Camp Eddy
We are thrilled to partner with Camp Eddy as our retreat launching pad. Nestled along the banks of the Colorado River, we'll be minutes from downtown, the infamous Lunch Loop Trails and CO National Monument. Camp Eddy offers a variety of lodging: timeless Airstreams, modern Tiny Homes, or full hookup RV Sites, to suit every traveler!

Can't wait to see y'all in the desert this spring.

πŸ™ We're grateful to share our passion and love for teaching to spark joy, connection and confidence along your bike journey.

Welcome to a new movement

Movement does not, and should not, exist solely in a gym or in a specific time or space. Movement can occur anywhere and anyplace and it can (and should) involve an element of joy and dare I say fun. HAPPE creates, advocates for and facilitates movement opportunities in the workplace, in our schools, and with families and communities.
