Breathe River Mountain Yoga Retreat
Do you feel as if you have hit the wall? Has life left you out of breath, restless, weary and uncertain. It’s not easy to find something you’ve lost. Join us for a journey to explore the practice of yoga, and all that it can offer. This 4-day event will highlight your strengths and provide opportunities for growth both mentally and physically. Learning to push boundaries and honor limitations all while building friendships. There isn’t much in life we can control, but our breath is one. Come with an open heart and mind as we enjoy the power of vinyasas, the stillness of yin, and the cleansing of sound baths. Yoga is a journey, and no one is left behind. Nestled in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains is a sanctuary rich in history and grounded in nature. It will be the backdrop of our daily practice. Putting your intentions into purpose and action while emphasizing strength and peace of breath.
Begin the morning breathing in the fresh air on a guided meditative hike along Sweet Root Creek and through the Black Valley. Following the hike, we continue working with our breath as we turn up the music and enjoy the power of vinyasa. Time to slow things down and embrace the stillness of yoga nidra. Fueling up with a beautiful well-earned meal before taking the afternoon to enjoy a massage, soak in hot cedar tubs, biking, hiking, fishing, hammock hang or any activity that calls to you. Coming together again for happy hour and snacks before making our way to the barn for a slow flow and meditation workshop. We will then share in a fresh and nutritious dinner. A retreat in the mountains isn’t complete without a campfire and s’mores. Before your head finds its pillow, the day’s activities will close with a restful and relaxing sound bath.

Meet Your Host
Alethea Molina
I am a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), with certification in Sound Healing and Yoga Nidra.
My journey with yoga began back in 2016. At that time, I committed to myself and allowed yoga to become an integral part of my life. During this beautiful journey, my practice evolved, and brought me to the present. For me, the practice is about making a connection between the mind and the body, creating space, clarity and peace. I'm a firm believer that yoga is for everyone. The practice of yoga can take many forms, but it always begins and ends with breath. It's a practice that is not meant to stay on the mat, but rather step off the mat with you. When the practice begins to weave itself into the fabric of our lives, it has ability to be reflected in one's actions and words.
I enjoy challenging students through dynamic Vinyasa flows, as well as embracing the strength of Yin. I also present opportunities for students to manifest clarity and peace through the practice of Yoga Nidra and Sound Baths. I emphasize finding a balance between the body and the mind utilizing the breath.
Always approaching the practice as a student first, has served me well. I look forward to meeting students on the mat, and sharing my passion for the practice and mantra, "Live it, Love it. Breath it."

History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
