Blue Ridge Mountains,
North Carolina
Yoga & Yoga Nidra Retreat
October 15-18, 2026
A weekend retreat devoted to creative rejuvenation and care in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains
This retreat is designed to be a simple yet powerful way to pause, lighten any heaviness you may be carrying, and soften into the wisdom of your heart. Inspired by the colorful beauty of the mountains in autumn, our experience will invite in heartfelt surrender through a lovingly created flow of yoga and yoga nidra sessions that combine traditional practices with somatic, contemplative and creative offerings. In addition to fun, engaging practices, the weekend will include vibrant, nutrient-rich meals and plenty of space for your own adventures in nature.
Our retreat home is the Mount Mitchell Eco Retreat, a gorgeous and unique getaway nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains, just off the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. A haven for outdoor-lovers, this former dude ranch turned nature retreat spans 28-acres, with mountain views and peaceful winding trails.
Our State Magazine offers a beautiful glimpse into the story of this high-country gem and its intention to be ‘a space for contemplation and reflection — a healing place.’ You can read the full article here.
