Lance responded quite quickly to my inquiry about a private Yoga experience for 4 seniors at the Pavilion! We had limited mobility and experience but our hearts were willing and eager to experience the beauty of Sedona and her energy. Jason met us there and in spite of the chilly day we were not disappointed! Some of us were moved to tears of appreciation. Gentle and restorative yoga guided by a patient instructor was what we had hoped for and what we experienced. We had the quintessential spiritual Sedona experience. Don't hesitate it's so worth it. We look forward to doing it again

Yoga hike was the perfect way to ground into the red rocks for the start of our vacation. The location for yoga was perfectly situated and paced to all levels. No nearby hikers disturbed our solitude. Lovely fun soulful day
Very thankful for this experience and will definitely book another next time visiting the area.

We met up with Scott for a private hike in the Red Rock State park. My sister mom and I! He was so very accommodating to the slower pace of my mom but still made sure we had time for the yoga my sister and I wanted to do! Lance was super helpful in getting us booked and last minute. Thank you for a memorable hike and meditation!

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate as a harpist in an amazing Yoga retreat with Amber and Lance that was held in San Diego!
They are such warm and friendly people who have a deep love for the power of yoga and share that passion with their students.
They warmly invited me to play my Celtic harp during a three-hour group yoga session -- I could see the smiles on the participants' faces as Amber led them through an extensive range of poses!
It was my pleasure to use the rich vibrations of the harp to help create a soothing background.

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Amber, Lance and Vita Pura Yoga that would adequately express how truly grateful I am to have had the experience that I did in Sedona. It was more than the outstanding accommodations, delicious food options and lovely gift basket I received upon arrival. I was there on a mission of self exploration and I discovered so much more than I anticipated. Amber's role as instructor reaches far beyond her expertise in the field of yoga. Her warm and gentle guidance has made her a trusted source for me to help navigate not only the world of yoga but the journey

My husband and I did a guided hike with a yoga session for a little vacation. Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle the day we left for our trip but she was so patient and considerate of my injury. She modified the hike and yoga as needed and ensured that I didn't further injury myself. She was so kind and thoughtful and even followed up after the hike.

Beautiful People, beautiful location, beautiful yoga! An absolutely amazing experience! Lance took us on a beautiful hike pointing out various plants and scenery. He then led us through a mindful, compassionate yoga class. I felt wonderfully grounded and blissful throughout his class. It was amazing to do yoga at the top of a peak, with amazing views in every direction. I would highly recommend this yoga experience, it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. Even my non-yogi husband thought it was amazing. Thank you so much Lance and Amber, you guys were wonderful to deal with!

My wife and I had an amazing yoga experience for our 15 year anniversary! Amber and lance were super nice and the yoga session was very tranquil and relaxing. We felt as if the session was made specifically for us on our special day! They also made tea for us and had great conversation before the session began and after it was over. I can’t begin to express how much passion and love Amber and Lance have for yoga, hiking and life!

Lance was an absolute delight on our yoga hike during our visit to Sedona! We did a beautiful early morning hike to a quiet mountain top mesa overlooking two valleys. He led us through an amazing yoga practice while the sun was coming up. The views were out of this world and Lance took some photos that we will cherish! I cannot recommend Vita Pura enough, we are already looking forward to our next trip to Sedona which will absolutely include another Vita Pura adventure!

Unfortunately, I'm really disappointed by my experience at Vita Pura. Amber and Lance are wonderful people and our interaction was great, but it's the level of service, communication and experience that I'm rating at 3/5 stars.
My mom and I wanted to go on a yoga & hiking retreat and found Vita Pura. With all (and only) 5 star reviews, we were very excited and optimistic that we'd get an amazing experience! We saw on their website that there was 3-day package with sample itinerary that looked great. We both thought that 4 days of yoga and hiking sounded better so we extended

My friend and I had an incredible experience with Lance as our hike and yoga guide. He was super friendly and accommodated our novice hiking experience. The spot was unique, not overcrowded with tourists, so it felt very private and special. Lance guided us through a beautiful yoga and breath work journey, closing with sounds from his Tibetan sound bowl. It was a lovely experience, one that I will never forget. Both Amber and Lance were very responsive to my emails and requests. They are lovely souls. I highly recommend them for an incredible journey!!

My best friend and I recently did an annual Girls' Trip to Sedona. We wanted to do something unique while in the area, and I reached out to Amber to discuss details of their Yoga Hiking offering on their web site. From the first impression, I could tell that Vita Pura was committed to delivering amazing service. Despite our trip happening during a very busy time in the area, Amber immediately responded to my questions and got us booked for an amazing sunrise yoga hike. As we neared the date, she sent additional details about our meeting time and location, and even reached out the morning of the

My husband and I have been back for a week now from a private retreat with Amber and Lance. All I can say is we are still on a spiritual high. From the minute we were welcomed into their home to the minute we left, there are not enough words to describe this unique journey.
Amber and Lance are two beautiful souls sharing their knowledge and experience so openly. Lances sunrise and sunset hikes were simply magical. On our sunset hike with Lance, just as we finished our meditation, we experienced a rainbow. We were in spiritual bliss. Amber’s yoga sessions taught us how to breathe and smile. She

On a recent excursion to Sedona, a group of family and myself took a hike/yoga class, guided by Lance of Vita Pura Yoga.
The event was everything we were hoping for and I would recommend to any friends visiting the area.
Lance tailored the class to our group perfectly.
We completed a scenic hike and practiced Hatha yoga on top of the stunning Red Rocks of Sedona.
Lance kindly shared his knowlege of all things Sedona, gave us additional travel tips, and provided an invigorating and spiritually refreshing yoga session. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

I visited Sedona with a purpose. To soul search. I was lucky enough to have my best friend come along for the ride. I researched many different adventures to find out what suited my intentions best. Concierge highly recommended a private hiking & yoga session with Lance. That alone was worth the trip. For both me and my bestie. The hike itself wasn't difficult so you don't have to feel intimidated if you're not in tip-top shape. The gentle yoga session on top of Airport Vortex had amazing energy and that too, should not intimidate you if you are a beginner. He guided a very slow

I was new to yoga when I met Amber. She is a sweet soul and made the class fun and informative. I really enjoyed how her instructions made yoga easy to understand and applicable to my daily life. Amber is patient and the spirit of the class is definitely a free-flowing and is acceptable for all levels. As I begin to increase my interest in yoga and my practice improved, Amber was able to continue to challenge my practice. I would highly recommend her class to anybody new to yoga or interested in improving their practice.

As a beginner Yogi when I first started seeing Amber I was immediately comforted by how lighthearted and compassionate she was with her practice. It's easy to feel intimidated on the mat and this was compounded by the fact that I have injuries from birth that affect my balance and mobility. Amber made sure to customize my practice to suit my specific needs and kept ever very fun, yet informative. I learned a lot about myself and yoga during our time together and I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in starting or expanding their practice. 5 well deserved stars :)
