If you’ve been stressed out and can’t find your peace, consider taking in the deepest breaths of fresh mountain air as you sit with your feet dangling in the water of a crystal-clear reflection pool. Your eyes soak in the views of the myriad of color of Nature’s beauty. Mother Earth siphons away the worries from your body that’s become this storage container for stress and emotions. Yet, this is just the beginning, as you haven’t even made it to your first transformational yoga class. Your Yoga Space is in a stunning round, wooden room with 180 degree mountain views, and each class will continue the process of letting go and decompressing that nature has begun by just being here.

‘Unwind and Unplug’ from the daily grind at the Elohee Retreat Center in the North Georgia mountains. We’ll shed the stress as Shalan soothes your Spirit in four yummy yoga classes. Our yoga practice gets us into our bodies and clears our minds, then Mother Nature will do the rest in this weekend of healing. The retreat center is on top of Bald Mountain with incredible views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Hiking trails, waterfalls, a gorgeous reflecting pool, and delicious food await you and we’ll gather for a bonfire if weather permits. As always, there will be an option to add on Massage Therapy or Reiki appointments, space limited. Beautiful souls gather here and good friends are made here. You’ll have time to rest, or time to play, whatever you need to reset and remember that “All is Well.”

The Elohee Retreat Center is a 1.75 hour drive from Woodstock, GA.

This Retreat Weekend is all-inclusive with:

  • Two nights’ accommodations (including all fees & program tuition)
  • Sheets, towels, and bath amenities (soap, shampoo, conditioner) are provided for all rooms.
  • Meal service is provided from arrival day dinner through departure day lunch and is included in the price of the room. All meals are prepared using nutritious and delicious freshly-prepared ingredients. (the food is divine!)
  • A 24-hour tea house is always available.
  • Four yoga classes (Friday evening, Saturday morning and evening, and Sunday morning) – morning classes will be gently active and evening classes will be more restorative to promote deep relaxation. Perfect for beginners and a delicacy for the experienced yogi/yogini.
  • Bonfire/star gazing (weather permitting)
  • Guided Hike (weather permitting)

​There’s room for you! We have enough room for 28 special souls!
