Loving Wishes for

Lots of Energy Flowing in Our Lives

and Vortex Journeys

2023 Award Arms Up

Greetings from Sedona!


I trust you are keeping cool this summer and using your energy to enjoy life. I just attended a weekend seminar led by Bruce H. Lipton, and more than ever, I know that EVERYTHING IS ENERGY! That is the focus of our Sedona Spirit Yoga October workshop and retreat.


We all need to learn as much as we can about how our energy bodies function. In Yoga, we teach about CHAKRAS or wheels of energy in every body that affect the organs and can have negative or positive effects upon physical health as well as emotional and mental well-being. How much do you know about your inner energy wheels? Most people have heard the concept of chakras, but cannot really identify them in their own bodies.


Not to worry! I am inviting you to an "Understanding My Chakras" workshop and/or retreat. Sedona Spirit Yoga is offering a Full Moon Chakra Clearing Retreat Friday through Sunday, October 27-29, 2023. And if you cannot stay for the entire weekend, you are welcome to attend our 3-hour "Understanding My Chakras" workshop.


"UNDERSTANDING MY CHAKRAS" WORKSHOP--Friday, October 27, 3-6 pm,

At the Creative Life Center, $155 fee. Learn more about your chakras, locate where they are in your body, feel them, understand how they function, and experience exercises to open and nurture your chakras. See $15 Discount Coupon Below


FULL MOON CHAKRA CLEARING RETREAT--Fri.-Sun., October 27-29, 2023

We have reduced the price of the retreat to $595, or $550 if you register early with a friend. Scroll down for details about the full retreat with the chakra workshop followed by two morning vortex Shamanic Soul Journeys with Yoga, Meditation and Shamanic ceremonies and one evening full moon ceremony. Outside beneath the full moon, Johanna and a Shamanic colleague will give each participant a Munay Ki rite called the Bands of Power that protect the chakras. We will install the bands of power and show you how to reinforce them and keep them alive.

While lodging and meals are not included, we are happy to recommend accommodations and restaurants.


Meanwhile, I hope you are enjoying your SELF and look forward to welcoming you to Sedona soon. Read more to find out about future plans to lead Sedona Soul Stretch educational life-coaching workshops and retreats.

"Are My Sedona Spirit Yoga Retreats on Your Bucket List?"


Over the years, various clients have told me that they have posted my retreat announcements on their refrigerators, planning to attend my retreats in the future, and that a Sedona experience with me is on their bucket list. Smile.


Well, I am taking steps to wind down Sedona Spirit Yoga Vortex Journeys, and THIS MAY BE MY LAST SEDONA SPIRIT YOGA RETREAT, SO THE TIME IS NOW! I am planning to shift my focus from tourism to educational life-coaching retreats based on my new book, Sedona Soul Stretch: 10 Ancient Principles to Expand Consciousness.


In the meantime, for the rest of the year, I will still enjoy leading Shamanic Soul Journeys and private Yoga Nidra Stress Relief and Shamanic Chakra Energy Clearing Sessions as well as Custom Ceremonies and Private Retreats.

I hope you will join me soon. Namaste.

Would you like to

let go of limiting beliefs

and live a more fulfilling life?


I have written a much-needed guide to help you access inner strength and achieve ongoing well-being. Learn how to become more fully your best self and succeed beyond your wildest dreams by practicing five principles for social harmony and five principles for self-mastery.  


Sedona Soul Stretch Vision: This book is setting the stage for me to lead human resource retreats for companies to bring teams to Sedona to benefit from the principles shared in Sedona Soul Stretch. Adapting these principles for excelling in community with others and achieving personal mastery is a way to promote better relationships, heightened performance, increased well-being, greater peace of mind, and optimal well-being. My intention is to teach these values as guides for all of us to to grow in our chosen directions and find lasting contentment within.


While teaching these life-enhancing principles, I share uplifting stories about my own growth opportunities, discouraging challenges, and breakthroughs with my Sedona clients as examples of following (or not following) these principles. I have also sprinkled a great number of quotes from famous figures throughout the ages that recommend following these principles that date back from before Christ.


Hopefully, you would like to read a copy of Sedona Soul Stretch: 10 Ancient Yoga Principles to Expand Consciousness when it is published in the fall. Please help me connect with any Human Resource Personnel you know who might be interested in viewing an Advanced Reader Copy. I would love to know that I have your support.

Is there a teen in your life who might enjoy reading Teen Triumph: 10 Ways to a Winning Life? Here's what teens like about the book:

--"I liked the easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions and the pictures. I thought the reflection at the end of each chapter was really good, and the questions in it made me think. I enjoyed how the book was talking to me and not over my head." --Noel, 16

--"This book is excellent because the author is telling the readers to be successful in life. The thing I liked about this book is she had examples of positive and negative things, but you are the only one who can choose your own road; if you choose the road of sadness or happiness."
--Maria, 18
