Joint Care & Conscious Rest:
A Yin and Restorative Yoga Retreat
Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10, 2026
River Mountain Retreat Center in Everett, PA
Join Machelle Lee and Tara Lemerise for this 4-day/3-night retreat dedicated to progressive and profound self-care and relaxation with Yin & Restorative Yoga.
Folks frequently think that Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga are the same thing because they both offer qualities of restoration for the body/psyche. In this immersive retreat, you will experience in your own body the differences and unique gifts that these two practices have to offer.
Machelle will guide you through Yin Yoga practices designed for the support of the joints, ligaments, and fascia of the low back, spine, shoulders, hips, sacrum and knees. She will explain the benefits of the practice, read meditative texts for your contemplation, and offer you myths and stories as you practice.
In Tara’s Restorative Yoga sessions, you will be guided through the skillful arrangement of props in completely passive poses. Instead of asking your body and mind to do more, Tara’s sessions of Restorative Yoga will quiet your nervous system and your mind, allowing you to release deeply held tension and positioning you to receive.
The combination Yin and Restorative Yoga led by these expert teachers on this retreat will leave you feeling supported, cared for, and deeply rested.
This retreat also includes optional rise and shine flow practices, hiking, campfires & s’mores, stargazing, and so much more!

I get the winter blues or seasonal affective disorder. I’ve spoken about this before and one of the things that helps me the most (aside from moving my body) is to make plans to look forward to. Knowing there is something on the horizon, outside of the cold gloom, can give me enough of a dopamine boost to power through!
I also love my Happy Light (natural daylight mimic) 💡
So just in case you are dreaming of warmer, outdoor days, here’s your reminder that I am hosting a retreat in September! It feels far away now, but it always ends up sneaking up on me and comes quickly!
I would love to share space with you for Grounding in Connection this year at rivermountain
Based on feedback from previous retreats, I’m adding in at least one Yoga Nidra session and hopefully an additional gentle/restorative yoga class each day, so there will be 2 yoga offerings each day of the retreat. Plus all the other good stuff (hiking, hot tub, journal prompts, a workshop, downtime, campfires, communal meals, etc!)
🔗 Link to register is in my bio!
I keep the registrations limited to 12 for a reason. The ability to connect and create space together and hold space for one another is important to me, and larger groups just don’t offer that same level of intimacy, nor can I energetically be as present. So space is limited. Only 11 spots left 🙂

When`s the last time you checked in with who you`re becoming?
Self-awareness isn`t static. We grow, shift, adapt. The woman you were six months ago isn`t exactly the same woman reading this today.
Most of us are so busy being who we`ve always been that we forget to check in with who we`re becoming.
Coming back to you means:
💖 Stepping away from autopilot
💖 Getting clear on where you are now
💖 Moving forward with intention
💖 Giving yourself your own undivided attention
That`s exactly what Reclaimed is designed for. Three days to reconnect with who you are in this season.
The woman you`ll be in March will thank you for the decision you make today. If you`re ready to come back to you, don`t make her wait any longer.
Comment "I`m Ready" and I`ll DM you the details

We had the most beautiful experience in this place in New Year’s Eve. Sipping on a glass of wine with the fire pit and looking at the sky full of stars was something that we will never forget. We booked last minute and drove from upstate New York but it was worth cause we loved it.

What an absolutely majestical place! What a perfect blend between rustic getaway and having all-that-you-need (and then some). The staff are all so accommodating and genuinely care about the guest experience.
The yurts were cozy comfortable on a very cold weekend.

I’ve had several folks ask about the food for our summer retreat, and as a foodie I assure you it’s a reason why River Mountain is amazing. Whether you’re vegetarian, gluten free, or have an allergy they go above and beyond making sure every one is nourished!
Located Near D.C., Baltimore & Pittsburgh -- Yet a World Away
River Mountain is located between Bedford, Pennsylvania, and Cumberland, Maryland, in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. Our property is secluded and remote, yet easily accessible from the city.
