The Best Way to Spend A Chilly Morning In Zion
If you’re visiting Zion National Park in the fall or winter seasons, an indoor yoga and meditation session with an incredible view of Zion is the best way to begin your day of desert exploration and adventure!
Visualize this: There’s a cool breeze in the air, a gentle whisper that the seasons are changing. As the sun begins to rise over Zion National Park, the first light spills across the red cliffs and the desert slowly comes alive. Just outside of the park entrance, you step into a serene spa space to begin a yoga and meditation practice called Cosmic Flow - the most magical way to spend a chilly morning in Zion.
Imagine yourself settling onto your yoga mat, where the warm glow of the sun pours through floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the awe-inspring beauty of Zion’s majestic cliffs. Your practice begins in savasana, eyes closed, body heavy against the earth, simply noticing your breath. Here, you set an intention - something you’d like to call into your life - as you soften and let the outside world fade away.
As you begin focusing on your breath and on your intention, the next layer of your journey begins as the healing vibrations from the crystal sound bowls surround you. With each inhale, you breathe in the medicine of Mother Nature, and with each exhale, you let go of any thoughts, worries, fears or doubts. The sound bath continues to take you deeper and deeper within.
As the sound bath meditation comes to a close, the practice seamlessly transitions into a gentle yoga flow, guiding you through poses that open your heart to the light of the sun and ground your feet firmly into the earth below, allowing you to tap into a powerful connection with Mother Nature. Throughout the movement portion of the practice, your gaze is focused on the towering red rocks before you, their presence a reminder of the resilience you also have within.
As your Cosmic Flow session draws to a close, you return to the same place you began, coming full circle with savasana and concluding with another powerful sound bath meditation - soaking up the healing vibrations of the crystal bowls and the magic of the remarkable desert that surrounds you.
A morning yoga and meditation session in this sanctuary is not just a beautiful way to start the day, it is a celebration of life and a reminder of the wisdom you have within.
