Yoga-Mojo Autumn Renewal Yoga Retreat
September 17–20th, 2026
Moon Rising Retreat Center • Lenoir, NC
Step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most.
Join Loretta Jo | Yoga-Mojo and Alyson for a nourishing mountain retreat designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and awaken your connection to nature, spirit, and Self. Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we’ll gather for several days of mindful yoga, meditation, hiking, laughter, stillness, meaningful conversation, and spacious time simply to be.
This retreat is open to both men and women, and couples are warmly welcomed.
This retreat will be inspired by the Maha Pancha Bhutas — the Five Great Elements of yogic philosophy:
Earth • Water • Fire • Air • Ether/Space
Each day, we’ll explore the elements through yoga practices, meditation, mantra, mudra, reflection, nature connection, and the chakra system — discovering how these elemental energies live both within us and all around us.
Together we’ll move through grounding earth-inspired practices, flowing water meditations, energizing fire sequences, heart-opening air practices, and spacious ether-inspired stillness beneath the vast mountain sky.
Retreat experiences include the following — and all are optional:
- Morning meditation and mindful movement
- Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Gentle Yoga & Stretch/Release practices
- Guided hikes and nature immersion
- Breathwork, mantra, mudra, and yogic philosophy
- Journaling and reflection / Arts & Crafts
- Evening practices and deep rest
- Optional ziplining / ropes course adventure
- Spacious free time to rest, explore, connect, or simply listen to the mountains
Whether you are seeking renewal, clarity, grounding, adventure, inspiration, or simply a pause from the pace of life, this retreat offers an opportunity to reconnect with the elemental wisdom already within you.
Come breathe mountain air.
Come reconnect with your spirit.
Come awaken to Fall.
All levels of practitioners are welcome.
All-inclusive accommodations, meals, and retreat programming.
