About Heather.
Heather Muhlhauser aka “Heather Feather” founded Elevate Excursions in 2014. Elevate offers yoga, hiking & foodie trips in the Smoky Mountains, the Grand Canyon & Sedona, Croatia & Costa Rica.
Heather’s passion for travel was ignited when she studied abroad in Costa Rica during her junior year of college. After completing a personal training certification as well as 200 hour + 500 hour yoga teacher training, Heather saw a gap in yoga retreats. There simply wasn’t enough physical activity. And, many of the active trips she looked into didn’t offer yoga or a spiritual element to the experience. Heather launched Elevate Excursions to blend the two - active trips with splash of yoga and inspiration.
"Heather Feather" was Heather's nickname growing up and it suits her well. Feathers inspire and that is just what Heather aspires to do for YOU!
Heather was on a destructive path during her teenage years, battling addictions with drugs and alcohol. She chose to move in the direction of health with running and yoga after her father passed away from a rare neurological disease in 1999. Running & yoga became her therapy which brought forth true healing and growth.
