Ever since I first arrived over 30 years ago, I keep going back. Maybe it\u2019s just the feeling of being connected to the natural beauty of the mountains. Maybe it\u2019s the deep connection I feel with the Earth. Probably, it has something to do with an acute awareness of feeling my life as it\u2019s supposed to be\u2026 free and flowing and joyful.<\/p>\n<p>I brought my family there. I taught skiing and riding there. I almost moved there.<\/p>\n<p>So why lead workshops that combine the practice of yoga and the experience of skiing and riding at Snowbird?<\/p>\n<p>Yoga heightens our sense of presence, our feelings of connection, and our awareness of what\u2019s going on. When combined with the present-moment exhilaration of flowing down challenging mountainsides with beauty and like-spirited friends all around to support you, the possibilities are endless. All of your senses feel peace and become positively-energized at the same time!<\/p>\n<p>And awe-inspiring experiences are meant to be shared.<\/p>\n<p>For me, as a yoga teacher, a ski and snowboard instructor, and a personal coach, it is a heavenly way to bring smiles to faces and to help people feel something wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2017, we will welcome our <a href=\"https:\/\/heartofvillageyoga.frontdeskhq.com\/courses\/124178\">Heart of the Village Yoga<\/a> community to a one-week yoga and ski trip at Snowbird!
