SOLD OUT – Email Erin@WilmingtonYogaCenter.com to be added to the waitlist.
Join Wilmington Yoga Center in the tranquil beauty of Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak in the Eastern U.S., for a transformative 4-day, 3-night yoga retreat designed to ground and elevate your practice. Set in the serene Mt. Mitchell Eco Lodge, this retreat offers a harmonious blend of yoga, nature, hiking, and mindful connection to the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space.
Experience the grounding energy of earth, the flowing waters of the region, the transformative power of fire, the fresh air of the mountains, and the spirit that unites all.
Each day will begin with an energizing yoga and meditation session, followed by a nourishing breakfast prepared by our private chef. Afternoons are spent in nature, with the opportunity to hike through surrounding mountain trails or rest on property in hammocks and front porch rockers. Evening yoga classes will help you unwind and relax, with themes woven around the elements that surround you. Conclude the day with a wholesome meal to nurture your body, time by the fire, and stargazing. Mt. Mitchell is a dark-sky destination, which means it’s free from light pollution and offers excellent views of the night sky.
What to Expect:
This retreat is an invitation to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with your true self in one of the most beautiful natural settings in the world. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, you will leave feeling deeply restored, balanced, and aligned with the natural rhythms of the earth. Join us for this unique opportunity to recharge, reflect, and find your center amidst the mountains.
5% of proceeds goes towards Western NC Relief Efforts.

Guests can Expect:
Many great trail-heads are just a short distance away from the retreat center! With two retreat leaders, guests can expect varying group hike offerings of different difficulty daily. All activity levels will be accommodated. As the area continues to recover from Hurricane Helene, some trails may change. We will continue to use guidance from the local community for trail recommendations.
We take pride in the versatility and quality of offerings we provide during yoga retreats. Guests can expect two yoga classes daily, one in the morning and one in the later afternoon/evening. Morning classes are higher energy – basic flows, power flows, etc. Evening classes allow students to wind down from their day- restorative, yin, gentle, slow flows. Classes are always optional.
Our goal is to provide guests as much opportunity to relax and restore the body, mind and soul as possible. There is a dedicated bungalow next to the Main Lodge as a place for guests to book wellness sessions – the Healing House. Our retreat coordinator will help arrange spa services for any retreat guests interested. Massages range in price from $100-$150 for 60-90 minute sessions.
