YOUR GUIDES
Julia Geisler – Owner, Park City Yoga Adventures
Julia started PCYA in 2011 after a lifetime of adventure and guiding people in the outdoors. She saw the niche to combine yoga with the outdoors and took the leap to start a small business. Because of the incredible support of the Park City community, passionate guides, and our guests, PCYA continues today. Julia has been a yoga teacher since 2002 and a lifelong outdoor enthusiast. As a guide for over a decade, she is intimate with what Park City has to offer. You will find her skiing, split boarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and more. As Executive Director of the non-profit, the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance, Julia advocates for access and environmental stewardship to rock climbing areas in the Wasatch. She grew up skiing on the east coast at a place called Wisp and has hiked the 2,000+ mile Appalachian Trail. Follow her at @JuliaDawnGeisler.
Sluff Dog
Sluff has been with our company since its inception in 2011. She is a Tibetan Terrier who loves Yoga Adventures. She is hypoallergenic, does not shed, and always has a positive attitude. She will keep you moving out on the trails with a yip if you dillydally for too long. Her favorite things about working for PCYA are stick chasing and pushing her nose through the snow. Her daily yoga routine involves up dog, down dog, and a vigorous full-body shake.
Blake Summers
Blake is the right arm of PCYA and runs the biz. Blake does it all - yoga of course, but he is also a rock climbing and mountain biking guide. He generally gets after if everyday doing something adventuresome in the outdoors including split boarding, snowmobiling, climbing, mountain biking, and more. You can follow him on Instagram at @blakes_day_off. You will be lucky if you get Blake as your Yoga Adventure guide.
Bree Silhavey
Bree loves nothing more than to get outside and move. Guiding for PCYA gives her the opportunity to combine her passion for yoga and the outdoors by letting nature be her studio. She loves creating fun, energetic yoga classes that inspire everyone to connect with their wild side. She completed her yoga training right here in Park City in 2020 and has been stoked about teaching ever since. Her love for yoga developed during her first year as a first grade teacher in 2014 in Jupiter, Florida. It quickly became her favorite way to re-energize and find stillness after a busy day in the classroom. She now calls the mountains her home where you can find her hiking the trails with her pup, Luna, camping in the desert, and paddling the rivers. Check her out at @bree.silhavy.
Alison Moore
Alison made Utah home in 2011 while following her greatest passions: snowboarding, mountain biking, climbing, yoga, backpacking, really anything that involves movement and the outdoors. Alison grew up surfing in California, was a ski patroller in Nevada, and now works and lives here in Utah. A teacher by trade, she instructs everything from yoga to snowboarding to high school English. She also loves learning, and is currently pursuing Ayuravedic Nutrition Certification and Qi Gong Certification. For outdoor shenanigans, follow Alison on Instagram at @alice_in_adventureland.
