About this trip
Join Maggie Olds & Walker Wellness Retreats as we host an incredible four-night/five-day hiking and yoga retreat in beautiful southern Utah! Expand your knowledge of how to take care of one’s mind, body, and soul during this informative and fun wellness retreat!
Meet Your Retreat Host - Maggie
Maggie is a certified 500-hour ERYT. Most of you may know me as the owner of Yoga Connect in Lansing. I have been teaching since 2013 around the Lansing, Michigan area, leading trainings since 2016, and have owned the studio itself since 2018. I came to yoga looking for both physical release and mental strength and clarity that I didn't know I was missing after having children and changing careers.
As I continued to practice, my love of training grew, and my passion for helping others grow personally ignited! It was important to me to help cultivate and provide a physical space for others to make their way through personal healing, which is when Yoga Connect was 're-born.' Post-pandemic, the importance of community was at the forefront of our mission. We both brought the community physically back together--AND took our studio family outside of our comfort zone on two small retreats in 2021 (Phoenix and Sedona) and 2023 (Tulum, Mexico).
I am looking forward to practicing, hiking, and taking this adventure with you!
