I love the outdoors! I’m happiest when I’m outside, practicing yoga and hanging out with my friends. So, it just made sense to combine all three and create Sunshine Hikes.
I completed my 250-hour teacher training with Dhyana Yoga in 2011. During my training, I not only learned how to teach, but also the importance of movement, alignment, & mindfulness which has helped me on and off the mat.
While hiking a few years back, I realized my focus was on getting to the top. I wasn’t taking the time to enjoy the surroundings or the people I was with- it was solely on completing the hike. Since then, I’ve incorporated yoga and mindfulness into my hikes– setting an intention, focusing on breaths and taking breaks to enjoy the surroundings. It’s not a race to the finish!
That’s what I'm here to bring you! A hiking excursion that focuses on the journey, not the destination.
