Moab Yoga On The Rocks Announces Fall 2008 Retreats

Aug. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- Park City, UT –  Moab Yoga on the Rocks (MYOTR) has released the dates for its fall retreat schedule in Southern Utah.  This is the second year for the wildly popular yoga getaway, featured on the cover of the March 2008 issue of National Geographic Adventure. Each retreat includes two yoga sessions a day, guided hiking tours, camping and a delicious fresh organic menu. Surrounded by the beauty of Moab’s desertscapes, participants can connect with the beauty within and without.

These unique and intimate retreats are offered in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Guests on the retreats will be guided on the Squaw Lost Canyon Loop, a 9-mile backpacking trail surrounded by towering sandstone spires, juniper trees, sagebrush, cacti and vast valleys. The Needles District forms the southeast corner of Canyonlands and was named for the colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone that dominate the area.

Retreats are guided by “M” Rex, a trained nurse, Wilderness First Responder and experienced wilderness guide. Rex has backpacked extensively in Utah’s Moab region and brings over four years of trained guiding experience to MYOTR.

Elisabeth Lilja, cofounder of MYOTR, is a certified yoga instructor with over seven years of yoga experience.  Lilja has trained under Dana Baptiste, Anne Forest and Rolf Gates, and teaches at Centered City Yoga in Salt Lake City. She founded Moab Yoga on the Rocks with her business partner Mickey Vandeventer in 2007.

Each retreat group is limited to five guests in order to give each person quality service and attention. The backpacking/yoga retreat includes backpacking into a destination and setting up a base camp. The retreat is a community-oriented experience that not only establishes a bond with nature, but the group as well. Thai massage therapy is also available.
