Outdoor Fitness

Ridgline Challenge & Reset

The challenge: Improve your musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems with a physical challenge in the natural world. We’ll start with cardiovascular training by speed hiking up a ridgline of hills, building cardiovascular endurance. In between we’ll perform a strength training routine with resistance bands, allowing us to build muscle and increase bone density.

The reset: The Stress Response Cycle (SRC) is a biological process which is activated by a stressful event. The SRC has a beginning, a middle and an end, which need to be completed in order for our bodies to return to homeostasis. To close the SRC we need to purposefully and regularly engage in physical activity like this outdoor wellness session. Book this session to burn tons of stressful energy and return to homeostasis in a beautiful setting.

Outdoor Healing

Mood Boosting Morning on the Mountain

Escape to the natural world to engage the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS, also known as the rest and digest state, controls the body’s ability to relax. While engaging the PNS decreases our heart rate and blood pressure in the moment, it also lowers our resting heart rate and decreases our risk of cardiovascular disease over time.

As the moon gives way to the sun we’ll pause at a peaceful spot to practice a combination of Qi gong, Tai Chi, stretching, and guided meditation. Book this session to boost your mood, slow down in the moment, and make relaxation easier in the future.

Magma Dome Bouldering

6.8 million years ago magma burst through the sediment of Phoenix creating maga domes that cooled and hardened. After 200,000 years this process gave us local mountains perfect for bouldering (climbing on large boulders). If you enjoy an awesome physical challenge and love discovering what’s over the next hill, choose the Bouldering Experience. *No bouldering expereince needed.
