Flow on the Red Rocks: Sedona Yoga Hiking Experience
Move, breathe, and meditate atop the Red Rocks with a private three-hour yoga-hike led by Vita Pura Yoga. Perfect for beginners and groups, this trip combines accessible trails with restorative Hatha practice and sweeping canyon views.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate well before and during the hike
Bring at least 1 liter of water per person and sip frequently; desert air and elevation dehydrate quickly.
Wear traction-ready shoes
Choose shoes with grip for slickrock and uneven desert footing to keep transitions between yoga and hiking safe.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses protect you during exposed trail sections and clifftop yoga sessions.
Respect quiet at meditation stops
Keep voices low and electronic devices muted to preserve the practice and other visitors’ experience.
