ULI K HIKE & YOGA
Offerings
At the heart of my work is a deep love for movement, nature, and meaningful connection. Through UliK Hike & Yoga, I offer guided hikes—with or without yoga—on some of Marin’s most breathtaking trails, alongside weekly classes and workshops at Metta Yoga Studios, recently named Best Yoga Studio in Marin.
I also host day retreats that blend hiking and yoga for a deeply nourishing reset. In addition, I specialize in private events, personalized retreats, and one-on-one sessions—whether you are training for a specific trek, looking to deepen your practice, or simply craving time to reconnect in a supportive, tailored setting.
It is truly my passion and sincere wish to share with you what I’ve learned – both physically and mentally – over these past 25 years. I blend my experience and daily routine of running, hiking, yoga, pilates and meditation to bring you the same well-being, calm and joy that has been life-changing for me.

Mobility Flow: Strong, Supple and Steady.
4:00 — 5:00 pm @ Metta Yoga Studio, San Rafael
January, 31st.
Mobility is the key to moving better, not just more. This class blends yoga, functional mobility work, and mindful strength to restore fluidity, balance, and presence.
Together we’ll open key areas: hips, spine, shoulders, and ankles - so your movement feels fresher, your body more resilient, and your mind more present.
This is more than stretching, it’s about finding freedom through control, creating space in the joints, and learning to move with strength, ease, and awareness. Through gentle, mindful flow and mobility-based drills, we’ll release stiffness, undo the effects of travel and holiday busyness, and nurture strength through control and awareness.
Ideal for winter recovery, ski prep, or simply tending to your body’s well-being during the colder months, this practice builds strength in your range of motion and nourishes both body and mind.
