About this Retreat
Johanna Mosca, PhD, a seasoned Yoga educator, retreat leader, and self-help author, has just introduced a new book -- Sedona Soul Stretch: 10 Ancient Yoga Principles to Heighten Consciousness and Performance.
Captivated by the mystical beauty of Sedona, Johanna Mosca, Ph.D., left her long-time job as an educational consultant for the New York City Teacher Centers Consortium in 1992 and camped out in Sedona, AZ, for fourteen months. Johanna enjoyed practicing Yoga on the red rocks so much that she founded Sedona Spirit Yoga & Vortex Journeys, which has now won Best-of-Sedona Awards for six consecutive years, from 2019 to 2024.
Johanna holds a Ph.D. from New York University and six Yoga and Meditation Certifications. She also earned two 300-hour program diplomas as a Master Practitioner of Richard Miller's Inner Restoration Yoga Nidra Meditation, and Alberto Villoldo's Shamanic Energy Medicine. Johanna has 33 years of experience teaching Yoga and pursuing advanced studies in Yoga and Meditation training. She is a Yoga Alliance E-RYT500, YACEP instructor, and Director of past Yoga Alliance approved YogaLife Teacher Trainings.
Recently, Johanna became fascinated with PSYCH-K® belief change and was certified in Basic and Advanced Courses as a PSYCH-K® Facilitator. She is the author of several books and CDs, including YogaLife: 10 Steps to Freedom and Teen Triumph: 10 Ways to a Winning Life.
Johanna’s passion lies in guiding guests inward as she shares her lifelong study and practice of Yoga, Meditation, Shamanic Energy Clearing, and PSYCH-K® belief change. Her focus has expanded, beyond enjoying the benefits of Yoga and nature walks, to Body, Mind, and Spirit Healing. She is now leading retreats, based on her book Sedona Soul Stretch: 10 Ancient Yoga Principles to Heighten Consciousness and Performance, for everyone to bring out the best they can be with the greatest peace and contentment in life.
The theme of Johanna's Sedona Soul Stretch Retreats is "Relax, Release, Receive, and Renew!" And the slogan for her website johannamoscaphd.com is "Nurturing Us," which is her lifelong intention. To learn more about Johanna, visit johannamoscaphd.com.
At our Sedona Soul Stretch Retreats, Johanna has been equally blessed to have Roxanne Wessel share her exuberant energy to guide our guests on red rock Yoga journeys. Roxanne has been affiliated with Sedona Spirit Yoga for over 15 years, working freelance to lead occasional retreat hikes and vortex journeys with continued success.
Roxanne discovered Yoga almost 30 years ago and has been teaching a variety of classes to all ages in the community. Her certifications include: 200hr hatha yoga, multi Zumba® formats, Pilates, ACE Personal Trainer, Silver Sneakers and more. She enjoys the continuing education that comes with being in the health and fitness industry.
Roxanne is a YOUTHing advocate, incorporating her Young Living Essential Oils’ rejuvenating Raindrop Technique and soothing ‘oil change’ sessions, Lifewave Stem Cell technologies, and good outdoor living~
Roxanne says: “I love to experience the playful richness of life. I invite you to join me as we do just that~ Let’s rock hop through this amazing landscape, get relaxed, inspired and take it out into the world. On your hike, you will discover the trailside plants and edibles, explore the vortex energy, and maybe even hug a rock as she helps you access the sweet and playful magic of Sedona’s vortexes.”
For many years, our guests have expressed great appreciation for Roxanne’s exhilarating vortex Yoga journeys and the loving energy she shares leading indoor Yoga, Meditation and Life Coaching as well. Roxanne is a true blessing!
