Here Comes the Sun: A Summer Solstice Yoga Retreat
Does your soul need a refresh? Wanting to find a way to honor the change of the seasons in a meaningful way? Craving a moment to pause before the busyness of summer?
You’re invited to this transformative experience where the healing power of nature meets the rejuvenating power of yoga. Nestled in a picturesque setting, this retreat invites you to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the great outdoors, nourishing self-care and radiant yoga practices.
Set against the backdrop of the Allegheny Mountains at Summer Solstice - a time of abundant light and energy- this retreat promises a unique experience of connection and renewal. The retreat takes place in a serene location, a modern mountain getaway expertly designed to support rest and circadian rhythms, as well as adventures of all sorts. Surrounded by lush greenery, tranquil water bodies, and the soothing sounds of nature, River Mountain rests on 150 acres, offering something for everyone -- a good time to reconnect with your crew, adventures in nature right out your front door, and inspiring spaces to sit by yourself and relax.
Thoughtfully crafted yoga classes with expert teacher Maura Manzo will be designed to enhance your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. From invigorating sunrise yoga sessions to gentle evening meditations under the stars, each practice is tailored to harmonize with the energy of the summer solstice, promoting restoration, balance and alignment within. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner seeking a mindful escape, practices will be accessible to all.
Beyond the mat, enjoy a variety of activities to nourish your mind, body, and soul - fire pits under the full moon, soaking in the hot tubs, hanging out in the hammocks, or hiking into the forest. Your all-inclusive package includes award-winning glamping accommodations, freshly prepared meals, daily yoga practices, community happy hours and the lovely hive + honey tasting.
Join us to embrace the transformative power of the summer solstice - you’ll leave basking in the radiant glow of a renewed spirit!

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.
