WHITEWATER RAFTING

Green River - Desolation and Gray Canyons 'Yoga Journey'

The Yoga Adventure begins in Desolation & Gray Canyons on the Green River in Utah and rafts through the Green River Wilderness Area. You spend six days floating this scenic river through serene desert, experiencing the solitude and peace unique to the Green. Camp on deserted beaches, explore side canyons, and practice yoga in nature's theaters. Indulge in pre-breakfast yoga and have the opportunity to bliss and/or meditate on the rafts and in the remote setting of this pristine river where the natural surroundings are still intact as they were when left by the "ancient ones" over 1,200 years ago. Practice restorative asana and relaxation at sunset. Sleep out under the stars or in spacious tents. Fabulous vegetarian meals as well as non-vegetarian options are prepared for your enjoyment, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
