Yoga & Hiking Retreat in the Smoky Mountains, USA

This retreat takes place at Seven Springs, a family-owned yurt village set on 126 acres in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The property features seven natural springs, walking trails, a stream, and access to a sauna, creating a serene and restorative environment. The yurts are uniquely decorated with textiles and artwork from around the world, offering a cozy and comfortable stay.

Each morning starts with a yoga practice led by Jessi, a RYT500 certified instructor with over a decade of experience. Her Vinyasa-based classes blend dance and natural movement with traditional yogic sequencing. After breakfast, the days are yours to explore. You can join a guided hike, venture into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or simply relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Evenings bring the group back together for mindfulness workshops and creative activities, followed by a nourishing dinner. The retreat emphasizes connection with nature and community, with ample time for both solitude and socializing. The hosts, Jessi and Zach, are passionate about creating a welcoming and transformative experience for all guests.

The retreat is located less than 25 miles from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, offering access to iconic hikes like Abrams Falls, Laurel Falls, and the challenging Mount LeConte. The nearby town of Townsend is worth a visit for its heritage center. This retreat is an ideal choice for those looking to combine yoga and hiking in a beautiful, tranquil setting.
