Balance and Flow Wellness Trips in Utah

Wellness Trips: Connection, Movement, and Stargazing

Tap into the healing power of the natural world on a Balance & Flow yoga wellness or women’s naturalist trip. In the rush of our day-to-day lives, it can be hard to find the time and space to pause and reconnect with our sense of peace. With this in mind, Holiday has created a series of wellness trips. We know better than most how to go with the flow of nature. Our river and bike trips lead you into spectacular wilderness settings, far from the chaos of the modern world.

We’ve designed a broad selection of trips to nurture your mind, body, and soul. Looking for an extended escape from your everyday life? Take 5 days to stand up paddle board and practice yoga through Labyrinth Canyon. Or, if you’re looking for a slightly shorter escape, join one of our 4-day women & femme yoga trips – raft through class II-IV rapids in Lodore Canyon and enjoy guided beach-front yoga, or pedal along with expert yoga facilitator Jennifer Gilmore on the White Rim for four days of mountain biking, yoga, and of course, nighttime stargazing!

There are so many different ways to connect to these outdoor spaces! If you’re looking for some more introspective reflection, leadership coach, Lori Mueller, will lead you through a 4-day self-awareness retreat in Lodore Canyon. If you’re looking for artistic inspiration and guidance, come along on a 5-day full San Juan float. In June, Michal Onyon provides instruction and guidance on capturing the magic of these canyons through en plein air water coloring. Or join Great Old Broads and author M.L. (Peg) Herring for a special fall San Juan while learning the practice of illustrated journaling.

These multi-day trips let you maximize your time in the wilderness. Breathe deep, laugh long and loud, and let the natural world wash over you. Pick any of these Balance and Flow Wellness trips. The rivers and canyons are sure to provide the quiet you need to rediscover your inner peace.
