Four years ago, a simple conversation between and me planted a seed that has become the beating heart of our Wild Idaho Yoga Festival. What started as an idea grew into something magical—our iconic flower mandala that now centers every gathering.

When Sandi joined us to build a mandala honoring her beloved daughter Ana Vetter, we witnessed how this practice becomes a vessel for love, memory, and healing. Each year, different artists and helping hands have brought their unique gifts, creating something entirely new yet timelessly beautiful.

Swipe through these images and feel the evolution of our sacred flower mandala tradition. Each photograph tells the story of hands working together, hearts opening, and beauty emerging from the simplest elements.

Just like our festival theme "Through the Layers," building the mandala mirrors our journey through the five koshas—from gathering physical materials (our densest layer) to the collective breath and energy of creation, through the focused intention of our minds, into the wisdom of letting beauty be temporary, finally touching the pure joy that emerges when we create together.

The magic completes when we all gather together and form the human outer ring in our opening ceremony- setting intentions, remembering we belong to each other and to this wild land.

Day Schildkret reminds us: "We are not separate from nature; we are nature. And when we create with the earth, we remember this truth."

As I look at these images, my heart overflows with gratitude and anticipation. This September, I invite you to step into the forest and honor the nature that lives within you. Come remember your wild essence beside the Selway River. Let the mountains hold you, let the river cleanse you, and let community remind you that you belong. What will this year's mandala teach us? What will your presence add to our sacred circle?

In the sacred space between intention and release, between solitude and community, between earth and sky—magic lives. Complete the circle with us. 🪷🏔️

"Through the Layers: Connect to Your Inner Light" isn't just our theme—it's your roadmap home to yourself.

That voice inside you that whispers "maybe you're too much" or "you can't trust yourself." Surrounded by the ancient wisdom of Idaho's Bitterroot Mountains, you'll remember that voice isn't yours.

Our Wild Idaho Yoga Festival journey follows the five koshas—layers of self that guide you from your stressed-out physical body to your deepest essence of pure joy. Like peeling back protective layers you no longer need, each day reveals more of who you truly are.

🌟 Your Three-Day Journey:
Friday: Reconnect with your physical foundation through spine-strengthening and energy restoration
Saturday: Access your inner wisdom through somatic practices and emotional release
Sunday: Touch your deepest layer of joy and spiritual connection

Picture yourself on the sandy beaches of the Selway River, finally trusting the guidance that's been waiting within you all along. The mountains witness your transformation as you remember: you've always known the way.

This is more than a retreat—it's a homecoming to your most authentic self.

In our modern world, we've largely disconnected from nature's cycles. Seasons change, solstices come and go, often without recognition or celebration. Yet something within us still yearns to mark these transitions—to honor the rhythms that have guided humanity for millennia.

Our Summer Solstice Celebration on June 21st at H&H Lodgings offers a meaningful way to reconnect with these ancient traditions in community with others who share this calling. As the longest day of the year extends into a magical evening, the setting sun will cast its golden light across the river valley, creating the perfect backdrop for our community gathering.

Beginning with our Health & Wellness Fair at 4:00 PM, flowing into solstice yoga at 6:00 PM with this panoramic view, continuing with our community potluck at 7:15 PM, and culminating in a drum circle and dancing at 8:00 PM as stars begin to appear—every moment is enhanced by this spectacular natural setting.

This location wasn't chosen by accident. It represents what many of us love about rural Idaho—breathtaking natural beauty, peaceful seclusion, and the sense of perspective that comes from rising above the everyday.

Join us in celebrating the summer solstice from this special vantage point, connecting with both the magnificent landscape and the community that calls it home.

🌊 HEADWATERS: WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

Have you ever traced a mighty river back to its source? Headwaters are where rivers begin—often small, pristine springs that emerge from the earth, gathering strength as they flow downward.

Just like these rivers, our leadership journeys begin at a source—our core values, authentic voice, and deepest motivations. In Part I: Headwaters of our W.I.L.D. Together retreat, we guide women leaders back to their source through mindfulness, nature connection, and reflective practices.

This gorgeous waterfall in Okinawa reminds me of how powerful these origins can be. For me personally, these waters connect me to my roots on this island—a place that has become an international symbol and a call for peace.

When was the last time you reconnected with your own headwaters? The source of your inspiration, purpose, and direction?

This May on the Wild & Scenic Selway River, we're creating space for women to rediscover their source. Because when you're clear about where you begin, you can flow with purpose toward where you're meant to go.

My Yoga Roots

I first experienced yoga as a young lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Some fellow officers introduced me to P90x YogaX, a power vinyasa flow class, as a way to balance our intense physical training. I loved every moment of it. The stretches challenged my body, and yet simultaneously soothed my tired muscles. Living the military lifestyle required frequent moves, and with each move came a new yoga studio and new teacher. All of my teachers have inspired me with their different perspectives and techniques. Unfortunately, since then I sustained multiple back injuries and now live with chronic back pain+mobility issues. Yoga is no longer just a cool, dynamic workout, but a personal necessity. My yoga practice brings me both joy and relief from my pain.

After practicing for over 10 years, I chose to follow in the footsteps of the great yogis and yoginis by studying at yoga ashrams in Rishikesh, India- the Yoga Capital of the World. Nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas on the banks of the River Ganges, Rishikesh is the birthplace of the art and practice of Yoga itself. In 2018, I received my 200 hour certification with Yogi Sanjeev Semwal at Rishikesh YTTC. Most recently I attended Sattva Yoga Academy, completed my 500 hours of teacher training, and studied under the infinite well of knowledge and incredible being that is Master Yoga Teacher Anand Mehrotra. Sattva Yoga is a holistic, integrative, and deeply transformative practice stemming from the Vedantic and Ta***ic traditions of the Himalayas. Sattva integrates wisdom, meditation, breath work, Kundalini & Kriya Yoga, healing sound, free movement and Hatha Yoga asanas to open the mind and heart inviting bliss, liberation and freedom on every level of existence. Sattva is a very powerful practice and I am incredibly honored to bring these practices to the Clearwater Valley in Idaho through my classes, workshops, retreats, and private yoga sessions. If you are ready for evolution and transformation, then contact me & bring this radical yoga practice into your own life now.
