Join me within the magnificence of Mother Nature in all her glory ~
Exploring the Spirit that moves thru all beings
I first journeyed to Africa in 1991 and
have returned several times to explore different countries
AND every time I come home I have wanted to return
Again and Again and Again!
I’ve dreamed of sharing this most special place in my heart with
friends and family, yogis and adventurists …
Be.ing in Africa is life affirming + life changing.
The magnificence of Mt.Kilimanjaro
The graciousness, spirit and beauty of the people
Being in nature so close to wildlife is unexplainably jaw dropping …
Yoga means union ~ It is to connect, to join, to align.
Yoga is the way you live your life.
Yoga then means to me it is imperative to
Create + embrace meaningful moments each day
I have intentionally chosen the adventures within our itinerary with the mindset to:
~ Support local communities + organizations and their humanitarian efforts
~ Stand in solidarity preserving nature + wildlife thru conservation efforts
~ Provide access + opportunities for education + empowerment
~ I am committed to Meaningful + Responsible travel AND Giving Back.
