Oakhaven Farm

Oakhaven Farm is a 1930s hidden gem only 40 minutes from Greensboro, N.C. Practice yoga in the beautifully renovated barn and inspiring grounds.

Lake Louise, the trails and grounds of this scenic 1500-acre farm, all beckon during your free time.

An “All Levels” Retreat

Practice expertly curated sequences designed to collectively support resilience and wellbeing, which align with the themes of each day.
Deep restorative poses, mantra, aromatherapy and pranayama will be part of every practice.
Learn Ayurvedic practices to support prakruti (healthy dosha) and optimize wellbeing, infused into experiential afternoon sessions.

Oakhaven Farm is the “retreat home” for Life Fit Inc, a restorative setting nearby Greensboro, where we return annually to continue deepening our yoga practice together. The 2026 Summer’s theme, “Reset” is rich with experiences for understanding and learning self care and empowerment for our unique makeup. Each day offers practices that align with personal growth—from Day 1’s focus on Ayurveda and individual constitution, complemented by yoga practices for stress, anxiety, and Pitta balancing, to Day 2’s yoga practices for Empowered Aging.

This all levels retreat is a great way for novice yogis to discover a broad base of yogic wellness tools, and for seasoned yogis to deepen their practice. Mind-body teachers and professionals will also find it enriching. Yoga Alliance Registered teachers can receive a certificate for retreat attendance CECs and/or combine with online Life Fit Courses for a more in-depth certificate. These retreat days are open to all yogis, welcoming all levels of ability. Each day will include 2 practice sessions, early-afternoon lectures and activities, organic meals, music, and opportunity to explore the farm. Register to attend as a commuter with day passes. OR fill out interest form on registration page if interested in accommodations.

Note that all attendees need to bring their own: yoga mat, 2 blocks, strap and blanket. Props are available for purchase or rent. Please message your request HERE by July 10.
