Movement on the Mountain
Step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with your body, breath, and spirit at Movement on the Mountain—a rejuvenating weekend retreat designed to awaken your inner rhythm and restore balance. Nestled in the serenity of the mountains, this immersive experience blends mindful movement with energetic clarity, nature, and deep rest.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll explore a variety of movement practices that support energetic balance, strength, flexibility, and inner awareness. Each session is thoughtfully curated to meet you where you are—whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey.
This retreat is about more than yoga—it’s about creating space. Space to move freely, breathe deeply, and rediscover what it feels like to be fully present. Surrounded by mountain air and expansive views, you’ll find inspiration in both stillness and motion.
This retreat is for anyone seeking rest, renewal, balance, and reconnection.
All levels of yoga and energetic movement experience welcome.
And for those simply craving time in nature and intentional community.

Shelby LewERYT-200For Shelby, it was love at first breath when she initially tried yoga. She instantly felt drawn to teaching and sharing. She found a practice that benefits the entire body, but more importantly a place to clear the mind for stillness and growth. She has been honored to be able to share this amazing practice since 2016.
Outside of Yoga, some of her favorite things are being in nature, comedy, trail running, caring for plants, pets, and getting lost in loud music and good food.
Shelby aims to instill grounding, accepting, and freeing energy into her classes with a special emphasis on stress release for a renewed thirst for life. She's experienced what a powerful tool yoga is to finding balance, a true sense of self as love, and a clear direction forward. Through guiding yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing practices, she hopes to support others with their journeys inward, outward, onward, and upward.

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.
