Unplug, unwind, and reconnect with yourself as you immerse in the wisdom and beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains during our nature yoga in Asheville, NC! Yoga for hikers is one of the best ways to slow down, connect with nature, and live in the moment. This private group is the perfect setting to surround yourself with those that matter the most to you. After all, there is no better place than to relax from the start with trailhead yoga. Feel submerged in the beauty of the flora and fauna.
Embrace the nurturing energy of the Blue Ridge Mountains with our classic yoga hike, where you can connect with your mind, body, and spirit. This experience includes a 2-mile round trip hike on an easy-to-moderate trail leading to a mountaintop with breathtaking views. Finally, when you reach the summit, your expert yoga instructor will guide you through an hour of yoga suitable for all levels and abilities.
Imagine flowing through your sun salutation on a mountaintop with the sky glowing all around you (or simply stay in savasana for the full hour—no judgments here!). Enjoy nature’s light show, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and soak in the expansive open spaces. Of course, this is our favorite version of the classic Yoga Hike in Asheville and is available seasonally (typically May – October), with start times scheduled about 2 hours before sunset. Undoubtedly, this is the perfect change to embrace the energy of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as yoga for hikers is a great way to stay in give back to your mind and body. This experience is so much more than trailhead yoga. Naturally, this mountaintop yoga hike is set at one of the “best places to view the sunset in Asheville”. Without a doubt we can’t wait to share this experience with you!

The total hike is 2 miles and is rated as easy to moderate. We start with a 1-mile trail through the forest, which has a steady but not too steep incline. This section includes some switchbacks and areas with stairs built into the path. When you reach the summit, you’ll have a chance to settle in before enjoying a 45-60 minute yoga session suitable for all levels. After yoga, we’ll hike 1 mile downhill on a gentle forest road, looping back to where we started. If you’re new to hiking or worried about your pace, there’s no need to stress! We’ll move at a comfortable speed and encourage you to take your time. Our guide will stop often to share interesting stories and facts about the area. We keep our groups small so that your guide can personalize the experience and adjust the pace to fit everyone.
Weather is a part of the experience! We will go hiking regardless of rain or shine, so please check the forecast, dress appropriately, and bring rain gear. If the weather prevents us from doing yoga on the trail, here’s what will happen:
If you give us at least 48 hours' notice, you can choose to switch to a private class at your rental location (if feasible) or a local studio for an additional $50 rental fee (subject to availability). Our Asheville Wellness Tours trip planner will be happy to help you explore these options before your arrival. Note that no refunds or store credits are given for no-shows. If the tour company (Asheville Wellness Tours) cancels for any reason, you'll receive a full refund or reschedule your hike based on your preference. A key point to remember: don’t let a questionable weather forecast get you down. The weather in this area can be unpredictable, and we often experience sunny weather when rain is expected or vice versa. Our instructors are skilled at adjusting the practice to suit the weather, making it all part of the adventure and fun! Embrace the weather—it’s all part of the experience!
