This 4-day private yoga coaching retreat is designed specifically for beginners who want to learn yoga from the ground up, at their own pace, with an experienced teacher.

Over four days of personalized instruction, you'll build a strong foundation in yoga and gain the confidence to continue practicing on your own, whether at home, in a yoga studio, on future retreats, or eventually in a yoga teacher training.

This retreat is for you if:

• You've always wanted to try yoga but don't know where to start.

• You feel intimidated walking into a yoga studio.

• You're worried everyone else knows what they're doing.

• You've watched YouTube videos but still feel confused.

• You want personalized guidance and support as you begin your yoga journey.

** This is a private retreat designed for one guest, with the option to add up to two additional participants if you'd like to share the experience with friends or family.

** A variety of optional add-on experiences, including massage therapy, Reiki, guided hikes, and other activities are also available to further personalize your retreat.

You'll stay in a cozy two-bedroom cabin in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, a charming small town known for its scenic countryside, equestrian heritage, local wineries, and slower pace of life. Designed for one to three guests, the setting offers the privacy and comfort needed to fully immerse yourself in your learning and practice.

Morning sessions are educational and hands-on, giving you the time and personalized guidance to build a strong foundation in yoga. Evenings are dedicated to relaxation through restorative practices, Yoga Nidra, meditation, yoga philosophy, and meaningful discussion.

A nourishing breakfast and lunch are provided each day.

In the evenings, you're free to explore one of the area's locally owned restaurants and experience the charm of small-town North Carolina.

To further personalize your retreat, optional add-on experiences are available, including forest bathing, sound baths, wine tasting, massage therapy, Reiki, and more.

Unlike traditional yoga retreats or studio classes, this experience is designed entirely around you. With personalized one-on-one coaching, you'll have the freedom to ask questions, move at your own pace, and receive guidance tailored to your body, goals, and learning style.

Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the very first time or looking to build a stronger foundation, you'll leave with the knowledge, confidence, and personalized tools to continue your yoga journey long after the retreat ends.

The Beginner's Yoga Immersion is taught over four days through six personalized coaching sessions, giving you the time and individual attention to build a strong foundation in yoga. Together, you'll explore the fundamentals of yoga, including breathing techniques (pranayama), proper alignment in foundational poses, meditation, relaxation practices, and the philosophy behind yoga. By the end of the retreat, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to continue your practice with clarity and ease.

Getting There

The easiest way to reach the retreat is by flying into Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), located approximately 45 minutes from the retreat cabin. From the airport, you can rent a car or take an Uber or Lyft.

Another option is to fly into Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), which is about a 1.5-hour drive from the cabin and offers a larger selection of flights.

If you're within driving distance, you're welcome to drive directly to the retreat.

Please note that there is no passenger rail service to Western North Carolina, and public transportation in the area is very limited. Renting a car or driving your own vehicle is the most convenient way to explore the region and travel to and from the retreat.
