Stand at the edge of a mountain trail, cool autumn air in your lungs, sun dancing through the trees. Feel rooted in the wisdom of your heart — and wildly, unmistakably alive. This isn't your average escape. Rooted & Wild is a women's yoga retreat in the mountains of North Carolina — just outside Asheville — designed for women who are craving space to slow down, move their bodies, and reconnect with what really matters. You’ll wake up to crisp autumn air, practice yoga in a cozy barn or creekside, and hike mountain trails lined with early fall color. You’ll be nourished by delicious meals, meaningful conversations, and the kind of stillness that lets you finally hear your own thoughts. This Asheville yoga retreat is your invitation to step out of your routine and into a grounded, clear, and energized version of yourself.

You arrive at our retreat space tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains—your home-away-from-home for four days of deep nourishment and reconnection. Everything has been thoughtfully prepared. For the first time in what feels like forever, your body exhales. All you have to do is show up for yourself. Each morning, you wake to the sound of birdsong and the steady rhythm of the creek nearby. You sip your coffee wrapped in a cozy layer, grounded by the quiet beauty of the forest. On your mat, you feel your breath deepen, your body soften, and the clarity you’ve been craving begin to rise.

Schedule

Your Daily Rhythm + Retreat Offerings Each day at Rooted & Wild is a gentle unraveling—of tension, of shoulds, of everything that’s been pulling you away from yourself. This is your space to exhale, move with intention, and reconnect with the steady rhythm of your body, your breath, and the natural world around you. You’ll rise slowly, cradling a warm cup of tea or coffee by the creek, letting the early light and sounds of the forest greet you. No alarms. No rush. Just time. Morning Practices Mornings begin with energizing vinyasa flows in the warmth of the yoga barn or on the outdoor platform with the mountains just beyond. These sessions are designed to wake up your body, clear your mind, and stoke your inner vitality—a full-body yes to the day ahead. Nature Immersion Late mornings and early afternoons bring guided hikes through the changing leaves and quiet trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you’re standing beneath a waterfall or resting beside the creek, nature becomes your co-guide—offering grounding, clarity, and perspective. Slow Evenings As the sun dips behind the trees, we ease into restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and sound healing sessions—offering deep rest for your nervous system and space to integrate the day’s insights. These practices invite you to fully settle, soften, and return to yourself. Breath + Stillness Throughout the weekend, you’ll experience gentle breathwork, mindful meditation, and grounding rituals designed to regulate, restore, and realign. No pressure. Just permission to be fully present. Nourishment + Connection Expect delicious, nourishing meals, cozy evenings around the fire, and the kind of authentic connection that only happens when women gather in safe, sacred space. This isn’t about productivity. It’s about remembering what it feels like to move at the pace of your own well-being. You’ll leave feeling strong, steady, and undeniably you.

I got my life back, my happiness and now I have hope and confidence...it all started with my first retreat. 2 times retreat attendee

Cheryl T. USA This was my first yoga retreat and in fact my first official yoga class. I was as green as they come. My friend told me how great it was and I had always wanted to learn yoga so I signed up with her with the intention of taking classes for a few months before attending the retreat. As life would have it, I lost a parent shortly after booking and my life turned a bit upside down so I never ended up taking any classes. I was a little nervous about my lack of practice and skill but decided there was no better time than now to dive in and learn. We had around 21 women in our group, every one of them was wonderful, kind, and interesting to talk to. The food was excellent and the location can't be beat. Autumn and Toni shared that if you want to sleep in or go for a walk that you don't have to worry if you miss a session, it's your retreat. I went to every session, I wanted to get the full experience. My body gave me some feedback that the workouts were working and I felt great. I had not stayed in a tipi before, it was awesome. The beds were so comfortable, a new outdoor shower was installed and it too was excellent. The property could not be more peaceful. I enjoyed all of the yoga sessions and the guided meditation. I was in deep reflection often and for the first time in a long time I had slowed my thoughts to reconcile things that had gone on in the past few years. When I came home my friends and family asked how it was and one of the best words that came to me repeatedly was magical. I have already found a local yoga studio that is close to me to continue by practice and have been practicing daily since coming back home. If you are thinking about booking a retreat with Autumn you won't regret it. You will leave a better person with more knowledge about many things but most importantly your true self. I plan to go again next year (with some refined skills) and am looking over a few other destination locations as well. Autumn and Toni are awesome teachers and I highly recommend the retreats they offer, thank you for a great first experience.

If you're looking for an outstanding woman-focused yoga (and more!) experience, this retreat is for you. Actually, ANY of the fabulous retreats offered by Autumn and Toni is sure to be a great choice. No matter where you travel, with an Ambuja Yoga retreat, you'll experience excellent communication, support and activities from the moment you sign up. Autumn is so kind and generous, as well as being a kick-a** yoga teacher and facilitator. The locations and materials are top-notch--you'll feel cared-for and, yes, loved throughout the experience. And it is an experience. It's so fabulous that you'll want to return again and again (I've just completed my 4th retreat.). Perfect for any woman, whether you've never 'done' a retreat or are a seasoned traveler. Try it; you'll be glad you did.

A well planned and executed retreat. This was my first yoga retreat with Autumn and Toni and I will return in the future. The setting, amenities, exploration of spirit/mind/body, and travel time was ideal. My gracious thanks, Pam

I’m still dreaming about this retreat Glow Within in Thailand (Koh Samui) —it was an incredible experience! This was my fourth retreat with Autumn, and they just keep getting better and better. Autumn has an amazing talent for not only creating engaging yoga practices but also weaving in heartfelt messages and inspiration. Her passion, thoughtfulness, and heart truly shine through in everything she does. Honestly, I don’t think I would jump on an airplane for any other yoga leader, but with Autumn, I know it will always be worth it. I trust her completely to plan something extraordinary every time. Autumn puts so much care into every detail, from thoughtfully designed excursions to carefully selected gifts and the warm, welcoming circle she creates. This retreat was no exception—I loved the venue with its amazing fresh food, relaxing spa treatments, and the beautiful community of yogis and staff. I can say with confidence that my next vacation without my family will absolutely be another retreat with Autumn. If you’re considering one of her retreats, don’t hesitate—it’s an experience you’ll treasure forever.
