Moving Forward Through the Essentials of Yoga
Sweet Tea Yoga Retreat
With Kelly Smith, Tanya Dunne, and Jill Elkin
Friday, Sept. 20-Sunday, Sept. 22 2024
Join Sweet Tea Yoga for a weekend of meaningful connection, physical restoration, and
deepening of your yoga practice in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia at the Elohee
Retreat Center. Our retreat begins with a foundational flow yoga class and gently opens into
intention-setting, followed by a welcome dinner and an opportunity for connection and
reflection around our community bonfire. The day ends with a bedtime yoga nidra, offering
your body and mind deep rest to prepare to drift off to sleep.
Saturday gives you an opportunity to wake up slowly with the backdrop of the beautiful
mountains, offering you space and time to process your experience, eat breakfast, and then meet
for a morning vinyasa yoga practice. Following lunch, we will meet for an in-depth workshop to
ground you back into the roots of your yoga practice and discover new growth and spaces to
deepen. Through the afternoon, you have options to join a guided hike, receive a spa service,
and/or spend time in creativity or rest. After dinner, the day will end with a mindful tea
ceremony and restorative yoga practice offering a complete release of physical tension and
setting you up for a wonderful night’s sleep.
Sunday will begin with an early morning vinyasa yoga practice followed by breakfast, and a
vin-to-yin class to close out the weekend. This retreat is the perfect combination of community
building and unscheduled time to reflect and reset.
All meals are made from scratch, nutrient-dense beautiful cuisine that is innovative and
designed to bring nourishment to maximize your experience. Pre-register today to secure your spot in this incredible, deeply transformative weekend.
