Wellness tour of the beautiful country of Scotland for 9 magical days and 8 nights.  We will explore this beautiful country and learn of its rich history, eat delicious foods, and practice yoga to keep us healthy as we age. Enjoy a sensory experience of sights, sounds, aromas, tastes, and sensations to calm the body, mind, and soul which will stimulate the zone of healing, repairing, and restoring in your body.  When we are in this zone the aging process is slowed down and/or even reversed.

I am a Yoga Therapist and Health Coach and I will share what I have learned as a world traveler on our beautiful adventure of sightseeing and yoga including physical poses (asana), breath work, and meditation. My parents are from Scotland and I have both lived there and taken countless trips to many parts of the country.  As I travel the world, I realize the importance of a strong body and mind for the challenges that may arise so I work on my lifestyle and habits to stay fit for travel.  As I travel the world I learn how other cultures calm their minds, improve their health, and age gracefully through their rituals, habits, and routines and I can’t wait to share this world wisdom with you!
