Join us for 3 day, 3 night mountain retreat!

This October we are taking our Fall Ayurveda Retreat to Black Mountain up in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina!

Join us for 3 days and 3 nights of yoga, meditation and hiking. Each day we will prepare for you delicious plant based Ayurveda meals to help balance the changing winds of the Vata season.

We begin our day welcoming in the 4 directions and the 5 elements with a grounding ritual you can recreate at home. We will set our intention to be one with nature and to ground ourselves during the fluctuating changes that the fall season brings.

The lodge is spacious and welcoming. Each room has its own bathroom and there is plenty of room tosip a cup of warming tea, read a good book, chat with kindred spirits and sit and rock on the porch taking a breather and welcoming in the breathtaking site of fall in the mountains!
