Guides
Debbie Simon

Debbie is an avid hiker and yoga teacher and loves combining her yoga in nature. She is also a 500 hour RYT and has been instrumental in the formation of our workshops and and leads our 10 hour CEU Yoga for Hikers Workshop.
When asked why the outdoors are important, Debbie answered, "Outdoors is where we get our best breath, where we can be united with all that nature has to offer, we learn about ourselves, the change of weather teaches us to accept life as it is and still go outside. Being outside is life giving and a connection to something greater than ourselves."
In addition to Exploring all of the local trails at home, Debbie embodies the ExploreMore spirit when she travels as well! When asked about her favorite outdoor activity, Debbie answered "Hiking is my favorite outdoor activity. I love being in the realness of nature that a hike presents. I am my truest self when I hike. I hike locally and always find a trail when I go out of town."
Thank you for joining the team Debbie!

Tifany Henderson
Tifany Henderson is a local Yoga instructor, hiking guide and over all explorer! Tifany joined ExploreMore as a guide this year and leads hike and yoga and intro to meditation events in Plano
When asked why the outdoors are important to her, Tifany said "When I’m outdoors, I feel like I can just breathe. I just pause, close my eyes, and breathe. Taking in the sounds of trees, birds, and nearby water. Feeling the warmth of the sun and the breeze on my skin. I open my eyes and take in the mountains, ocean, or stream. Everything becomes more vibrant, and yet more tranquil. My whole nervous system slows down, my heart is at peace, and I feel like I’m home."
When asked why she wants to be an ExploreMore Guide, Tifany said "Being an ExploreMore Backyard Guide allows me to bring the best of all my worlds together to help others have fun! Guiding them in stretching and moving their body so that they are ready to hike. Helping them become fully present in nature with mindfulness meditation. Making their surroundings feel more vibrant and their mind more peaceful. Then, putting that all together as we hike through the beautiful outdoors that is in our own backyard. Just wonderful – Yoga, Mindfulness, and Hiking. Our mind, body, and nature. What could be better?"
Thank you for joining the team Tifany!
