Restoring Home To The Ease of Being

Join us in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia for a transformative meditation and restorative yoga retreat designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. Picture yourself breathing the fresh mountain air at the exquisite Elohee Retreat Center, enjoying a perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. In this retreat, you will have the space to slow down, steep in the blissful ease of well-being, and restore your energy.

Jill Elkin, an experienced Restorative Yoga instructor and Certified iRest® Meditation Teacher, will lead you through each practice with care and support, ensuring you feel deeply nourished and at ease. Throughout the weekend, you will experience gentle, restorative yoga, guided iRest® meditation sessions, and a grounding sound bath– all aimed at helping you release tension and stress. After the weekend is over, you can bring a deeply grounded sense of inner wellness back into your everyday life with a post-retreat, private check in and iRest session (via Zoom) with Jill, and access to recordings of the guided meditations at no additional cost.

Whether you’re new to yoga and meditation and want to find relief from stress and tension, or a seasoned yogi or meditator looking to deepen your practice, you will find this weekend to be a deeply nourishing experience. In addition to Restorative Yoga and iRest Meditation, you’ll enjoy delicious meals- options include vegan/gluten-free/omnivore and more- peaceful nature walks, and time for self-reflection and connection with the community. Spa services are available for an added fee. At the end of the weekend, you will leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and ready to bring a renewed sense of calm and clarity into your daily life- knowing that the peaceful ease of retreat doesn’t have to end when you go home.
