This private retreat space has been rated as one of the top ten yoga retreat destinations in the world by Travel & Leisure, Forbes, Elle Magazine, and others.

We are so excited to provide this experience to you!

Movement. Exploration. Play.

During this retreat, we offer daily meditation and yoga classes (with live music with Marco DiFerriera), amazing expert chef-prepared meals, a variety of excursions, and some surprises.  Gift yourself plenty of free time to nap, explore, read, and swim. Deeply connect with yourself and others.

Nourish

We’ve hired a local chef to provide dishes of inspiration from India, Portugal, and Greece.  Your taste buds will be spoiled with colorful and healthy food.  There will be plenty of coffee, tea, and fruit as well!  Both non-alcoholic and alcoholic options.

Yoga. Meditation. Live Music.

Troye and Meg will provide a menu of yoga variety, from intentional vinyasa flow practices, slow flow, yin/reiki, meditation and breath work.  Classes will be sprinkled throughout the day and are always optional.  A theme will be woven into the retreat to allow for journaling, introspection, and personal development.

Let’s go!

Join Firefly at the Bend of Ivy Lodge, about 30 minutes north of Asheville, North Carolina for a three-night yoga and hiking retreat to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox. The lodge is located on 63 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains with great hiking in the area.

Each day you’ll wake up in a beautiful oasis surrounded by nature. Start the day with a vinyasa yoga class to energize your mind and body, then join in a group hike, or take full advantage of the amenities located within Bend of Ivy Lodge. Enjoy nourishing meals prepared onsite to fuel you for the day. If relaxation is what you have in mind, lounge around by the pond, or take a stroll on one of the many meandering trails. Wind down in the evening with yin yoga, before enjoying a delicious dinner.

As with all of Firefly’s retreats, you’ll have the opportunity to connect to yourself, others and nature. Step away from your day-to-day responsibilities to tap into your passion and purpose. Ignite your inner light, so you can shine!
