Grounding, also known as earthing, is walking barefoot on natural surfaces to absorb the earth’s natural energy. This ancient tradition is now gaining popularity in the U.S., with social media platforms like TikTok showing videos of millions of people learning how walking barefoot can improve their health.

In addition to its grounding trails, The Barefoot Trail offers therapeutic programs such as Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare and Wilderness Therapy. These utilize nature and experimental education to help individuals heal from emotional, developmental and relational struggles.

The calming effects of nature combined with the grounding experience have been found to lower blood pressure, boost immune function, reduce stress and improve mood. The Barefoot Trail has six Core Values, making it a unique destination for visitors of all ages.

• Exercise: Physical activity is essential for overall health. The Barefoot Trail provides a natural, forested environment where visitors can unplug, exercise, and have fun, whether alone, with family or in groups. Regular walking is encouraged by the medical community for its cardiovascular benefits.

• Benefits: The reflexology path stimulates blood flow and enhances the senses by connecting visitors directly with the natural ground. Grounding for 20-30 minutes daily can help restore the body’s natural electrical balance, reduce stress and inflammation and improve sleep.

• Environmental Education: Visitors can learn about Coconino County’s geological and ecological history, including its volcanoes, rocks, trees and water.

• Youth Development: The Barefoot Trail provides children with new and challenging outdoor experiences, fostering positive attitudes, behavioral changes, problem-solving skills, and leadership development.

• Therapeutic Programs: These programs use experiential education in a natural setting to facilitate healing for various emotional, developmental, and relational struggles.

• Land Conservation: The Barefoot Trail advocates protecting the natural environment by preserving the ecosystem, vegetation, and wildlife. The trail uses natural materials like stones, rock, sand, and mud to maintain the land’s natural state while providing a unique recreational experience.

While grounding parks are a new concept in the United States, they have deep roots in other parts of the world. Barefoot Trail Founder Leah Williams was inspired to bring this practice to the U.S. after spending years living and traveling in Europe with her family. Grounding became an integral part of her life overseas.

Tickets for The Barefoot Trail are $10 for two hours of trail time. Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward the development of additional grounding parks across the country. By supporting this project, visitors are helping spread the benefits of grounding far and wide. Visit thebarefoottrail.org to learn more and purchase tickets.

The Workshop Pilates is opening a new Arcadia location, featuring the Valley’s first-ever infrared heated mat Pilates class! 

With additional locations in McCormick Ranch and North Scottsdale, The Workshop Pilates is a premier fitness studio that offers Pilates sessions through group classes, private and semi-private programs and teacher training.

The new infrared-heated class at The Workshop Pilates Arcadia will feature a detoxifying 95-degree workout, allowing your body to gradually heat up as you go through the class to improve flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning. 

“We saw the need for an infrared heated mat Pilates concept in the Valley and we knew The Workshop was the perfect studio to bring the burn,” says Ariel Schwartz, co-owner of The Workshop Pilates. “Heated fitness has so many benefits to the body and mind, including boosted immunity, detoxification, pain relief and reduced blood pressure. We have no doubt that the Arcadia community will love it just as much as we do.” 

In addition to infrared heated mat Pilates, The Workshop Arcadia will feature different types of Pilates for all levels, including: 

• Move: Work through all planes of movement with various different equipment pieces and props. Class is finished with The Workshop’s signature stretch series. 
• Circuit: A full-body workout from station to station on different pieces of Pilates equipment. BOSU balls, resistance bands and weights intensify the workout. 
• Elevate: Amp up your Pilates practice by incorporating the jump board, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and cardio exercises. 
• Melt: Gently wake up and lengthen muscles as The Workshop’s expert instructors walk you through yoga flows and deep stretches on the reformer.

Opening Monday, May 13, The Workshop’s new Arcadia studio is taking over the tenancy of the historic building previously occupied by the Madison Improvement Club, which closed in August 2023. The location will also feature an area for an esthetician practice and a juice bar. 

Constructed in 1917, the building was originally used as a meeting place for pioneer women to discuss important issues from education and arts to politics and agriculture. In 2012, The Madison Improvement Club took over the space creating a community of fitness enthusiasts, spin lovers and yogis. The building has held a special place in the Arcadia community, marking a milestone as The Workshop re-opens the space to the public. 

“We know fitness is at the core of this historic space, and we can’t wait to bring The Workshop’sPilates principles to Arcadia,” says Jackie Parks, co-owner of The Workshop Pilates. “We believe in the power of Pilates to transform lives. We look forward to strengthening bodies and our community bonds in this tight-knit neighborhood.” 

The Workshop welcomes the public to celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, May 18 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the newly-named Arcadia Improvement Club at 3802 E. Indian School Road. There, visitors can tour the facility, enjoy local vendors and giveaways, and take advantage of The Workshop Arcadia’s opening day Founder’s Rate promotion, offering monthly discounts for bundled classes.

Red Rock Crossing, Sedona 

This easy-going 1.8-mile hike leads to the banks of Oak Creek. One of the most photographed areas in Sedona, Red Rock Crossing is famous for its fiery red rocks and spiritual vortexes. The trail is mostly shaded by trees and is fairly flat. The relaxed path through the forest is the perfect trail for kids and those who don’t want anything too strenuous. The trail is walkable but can also be used for biking. Bring a picnic basket and your swimsuit or water shoes to take a dip in the swimming holes. Enjoy snacking in the shade, playing in the water and catching crawdads. The leaves change during the fall, so you’re sure to get some beautiful photos. Sedona is famous for its vortexes, supposed geological and spiritual phenomenon of swirling energy. Because of this, Red Rock Crossing is also a popular spot for meditation and yoga. www.visitsedona.com

Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, Phoenix

Tonto National Park’s Natural Bridge is the world’s largest natural travertine bridge. Water drips down from the bridge, pooling at the bottom and creating waterfalls. Located just two hours northeast of Phoenix, this rewarding hike makes for the perfect day trip. In the fall, the weather is nice enough to not work up too much of a sweat on the way down to the bridge base. There are four trails around the bridge, but the Gowan Trail is the longest and most scenic. On the way down to the base of the bridge, you will see the creek, get to hike under the bridge and stand on a viewing deck in front of the waterfall. Gowan Trail is only 1.4 miles but can be steep and slippery. Other trails have less incline but still offer views of the bridge. Be sure to bring water shoes to climb the slippery terrain at the bottom of the bridge. There are picnic tables and restrooms at the top of the bridge, so pack a lunch to enjoy after the hike. The entry area to the bridge also has a small shop with gifts and refreshments, plus a large rental property perfect for events. Entry is $7 for adults, $4 for kids ages 7–13 and free for those under age 7. www.azstateparks.com 

Horseshoe Bend Trail, Page

This trail only takes around 30 minutes to complete and has a beautiful view of the Colorado River wrapped around Horseshoe Bend. This fantastic view of the river is in Page, Ariz., near the Utah border, about four hours from Phoenix. While the Horseshoe Bend Trail isn’t long or difficult, the view makes this trail very exciting. Leashed dogs are welcome, and this trail is great for everyone as it’s only 1.5 miles and is also accessible by wheelchair. This view of Horseshoe Bend is very popular with tourists for good reason. The hike is free, but you must pay for parking before starting the short hike. For frequent hikers and sightseers, this area has lots to explore. While in Page, be sure to take a tour into Antelope Canyon and visit the Glen Canyon Dam, which stores water from the Colorado River. Lake Powell is also located in Page and is another spot for great views and photos. www.nps.gov

Seven Falls, Tucson 

Seven Falls is a popular hike in Tucson with many different trails to explore. The hike begins at Sabino Canyon Recreation Area at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The longest trail is 8.2 miles long but can be made shorter by taking an $8 tram up to the trailhead, which reduces the hike down to 4.6 miles. The trail is considered moderately easy with a subtle incline but very little shade. This hike offers many different stops to view water crossings and falls. The trail has plenty of Sonoran wildlife and plants like saguaros, chollas and ocotillo. At the end of the path is a desert oasis of ponds and waterfalls. Seven Falls is most beautiful after monsoon season when the waterfalls are full. Be sure to bring plenty of water on this long hike because there isn’t much shade. Day passes into Sabino Canyon are $8 per vehicle. www.arizonahikersguide.com

Sunrise Peak, Scottsdale 

This 3.8-mile out-and-back trail near Fountain Hills is beautiful in the fall. Sunrise Peak is a lesser summit of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. This is a moderately challenging hike with rocky terrain that can be completed in around two hours. The trail has little shade and can be slippery or steep at times. The McDowell Mountains are full of beautiful wildlife and foliage to see while hiking. The trail is popular with runners and early-morning hikers catching the sunrise. Other trails within the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy can be biked on, but the Sunrise Trail is only trail for hiking and running. www.mcdowellsonoran.org

Pvolve, a leading fitness brand known for its holistic and unique workouts, plans to launch six new studios across Arizona, including three in Phoenix, two in Scottsdale and one in Chandler, over the coming year

Founded in 2017 by Rachel Katzman, Pvolve is a fitness company that prioritizes a science-led workout method, marrying functional movement with patented resistance equipment.

Supported by a Clinical Advisory Board of doctors and credentialed trainers, Pvolve offers an effective workout solution that aims to sculpt, strengthen and enhance the body’s mobility and flexibility. With its hybrid fitness model, members can access over 1,300 on-demand classes, a live virtual studio and targeted series through its web and mobile app platforms. 

The brand’s success and unique approach have attracted notable partnerships, including actress Jennifer Aniston, who credits Pvolve for her physical transformation. 

Pvolve’s growth reflects a shift in fitness culture as its method has quickly gained popularity for challenging the traditional belief that high-intensity, punishing workouts are the only way to achieve fitness goals. Instead, the company’s innovative approach to fitness combines low-impact exercises with proprietary equipment, like its unique bands and mats, for a workout that emphasizes sustainability and effectiveness. According to Pvolve’s Healthy Aging study, these exercise methods are more beneficial than traditional moderate cardio and strength training. Compared to traditional exercise regimens, Pvolve’s methods can be more effective for improving strength, flexibility, energy and quality of life, particularly for women over 40. 

“What drew me to the method was its ability to push me to my limits without leaving me feeling completely drained. It’s something truly different,” says Jeanine Yonushonis, co-owner of Pvolve Phoenix, “I’ve always been passionate about group fitness classes, so when I discovered Pvolve’s functional fitness approach, I knew it would strike a chord with our local community.” 

Pvolve stands out in the evolving fitness industry for its dedication to holistic health experiences. This focus on longevity and full body care makes it a fitting addition to the healthy communities of Phoenix, Chandler and Scottsdale. 

“Pvolve isn’t just a passing trend; it’s a genuine investment in health and well-being, promoting longevity and enhancing both physical health and as well as one’s physique.” shared Whitney Goodwin, co-owner of Pvolve Phoenix.

In the quest to identify the happiest states in America, a recent study by WalletHub identified 30 crucial components to living a happy life.

Decades of happiness research was utilized to identify the level of impact every aspect of daily life can have upon a person’s joy. Each contributing component can be categorized into three key dimensions: emotional and physical well-being, work environment, and community and environment. Each metric received a grade on a 100-point scale, where a score of 100 signified the highest level of happiness. Ultimately, the weighted average for each state was computed across all metrics, determining its overall score.

According to the report, Arizona is the 27th happiest state in the country, with a 53.48 total score. The Grand Canyon State scored 21 for Emotional and Physical Well-Being, 33 for Work Environment, and 23 for Community and Environment.

Let’s dive deeper into what these three key dimensions of happiness mean for a joyful and fulfilling life.

1. Emotional & Physical Well-Being

Of the three categories, emotional and physical well-being weighs on happiness the heaviest. When gauging which states rank best within this category, Hawaii taking the top spot, researchers questioned people’s experiences with depression, alcoholism, mental health, food insecurities, general life expectancy and the location’s suicide rates. They also looked at whether people feel a sense of purpose in their lives, or if individuals have a loving and supportive community. Getting good sleep, staying active, such as participating in sports or fitness activities, and feeling productive all play a role in how people feel about themselves, and subsequently their life satisfaction. Maintaining a balance between a majority of these categories is key, as these elements are often intertwined. 

2. Work Environment 

For many, the weekdays are spent working. People need money to survive, to support themselves and their families. Because of this, household annual incomes, employment rates, job security, economic security, financial anxiety, and income growth rates were all valued as contributing factors to a state’s average level of happiness.  California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Arizona ranked top five in the nation for highest income growth.  Economic stability creates resource stability and peace of mind.

It is important to note the happiness income paradox when thinking about the correlation between income and happiness. Essentially, having enough money to care for your basic needs increases happiness, but having exuberant amounts could bring about other problems. Aside from income, the culture of a workspace, the level of time and energy required and work-related stress are also contributing factors. 

3. Community & Environment 

A unique and specific relationship exists between every person and their community and environment. From how people utilize their spare time to the emotional and physical impact of the local weather, these stereotypically monotonous aspects of life can manifest deeply personal experiences and feelings. Because of this, ideal weather and leisure time spent per day are both ranked as high influences on happiness. Additionally, divorce rates, volunteer rates and overall safety were also key elements considered as influences in the report. 

The beauty of happiness arises from its flexibility. There is no one recipe to guarantee happiness. An infinite collection of well-balanced interactions with one’s environment exists under the happiness umbrella and the perfect assortment differs for every individual.  

When interviewed by WalletHub, Miriam Liss, a professor of psychology at the University of Mary Washington, reinforced the autonomy a person could have over their well-being. Liss suggested: “People can do small things like focusing on gratitude, savoring positive moments, engaging in mindfulness practice, becoming involved in the community, doing kind acts to others, and making time to nurture friendships and relationships.”
