Cost $649pp $250 deposit with Balance due 30 days before.
Start and end your day with yoga led by Erin Larsen to find your inner balance, flexibility, and mindfulness before a day of exploration on the crystal-clear waters of Summersville Lake. Friday and Saturday will be spent exploring the breathtaking shoreline by paddle board, where you can marvel at the surrounding cliffs and soak in the serene atmosphere as you harmonize with nature.
Our lodge for the weekend is set in the most serene setting where we will enjoy expansive views on the deck amidst the backdrop of the lush greenery of the Appalachian mountains. As the sun sets we will have the most amazing view of the unspoiled West Virginia night sky.
Throughout your retreat, indulge in freshly made meals crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Savor the flavors of the region, nourishing your body with wholesome and delicious dishes that energize and satisfy.
After the morning yoga session on Sunday we will pack up and head into Fayetteville to check out the heart of the New River Gorge and explore another waterfall, discover unique flora and fauna, and connect with the natural beauty that surrounds you on one of our favorite local trails.
This yoga and paddle boarding retreat will be a holistic experience that combines adventure, and mindfulness, and allows you the much-needed time to reset in nature. Immerse yourself in the beauty of some of the best West Virginia has to offer, nourish your body and soul, and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.
