October Fall Retreat: Reflect, Restore, & Align

Hit the reset button this autumn with Jackie and Sarah at peak foliage in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This weekend is built around slow, intentional structural work. We are putting aside the rush of everyday life to focus on deeply collaborative, embodied learning that requires true time to digest. Great for beginners and for more experienced folks to realign with their bodies as they are, now.

  • Dates: Friday – Sunday, October 9 – 11, 2026
  • Teachers: Jackie Powell & Sarah Nunes
  • Location: Blue Mountain Retreat Center near Harpers Ferry, WV – we will help organize carpools to/from DC area
  • Vibe: A slow-paced, mindful sanctuary with plenty of time to ask questions and feel into your body.

The Practice Vibe: Deep Alignment & Mindfulness

  • Alignment, Stability, and Elongation: We look closely at how the actions of our hands and feet create length, how our bones stack, and what the pelvis and spine are doing.
  • Deepening the Physical Body Connection: We use anatomical awareness as a powerful mindfulness practice. Tuning in joint-by-joint serves us physically, mentally, and emotionally.
  • Two Teachers in the Room: We notice what your body is naturally doing and offer verbal and hands-on cues to help you connect with your body’s own wisdom.
  • The Luxury of Time: On a weekend retreat, we do not rush. You get the space to slow down, ask questions, and play with the cues and instructions.

The Full Experience

  • Immersive Learning: 10+ hours of deep, unhurried yoga classes, workshops, and mindfulness. All sessions are optional.
  • Nourishment: Six catered, homemade, healthy meals.
  • Connection: Evening bonfires, gooey s’mores, and cozying up by the indoor fireplace.
  • Free Time: Explore historic Harpers Ferry as the leaves reach peak colors, hike local trails, or book an on-site massage with Beth.

  • Shared Rooms: 2–4 single beds with shared baths. Perfect for friends!

What Past Guests are saying about Sarah and Jackie’s retreats


“Our retreat with Jackie and Sarah was truly amazing. The yoga was great, varied, and focused deeply on structural alignment. In fact, I’ve adopted much better posture since then, both on and off the mat! The setting was magical. My sister and I enjoyed peaceful, silent birdwatching every morning, swam in local waters, and hiked to beautiful waterfalls. It hit all the best notes!”
— Anna & Sabina (Washington, DC | Berkeley, CA)

“Jackie’s mindful flow has fundamentally changed my yoga practice. Her focus on alignment, 360-degree breathing, and the ‘two bowls’ analogy has made me feel stronger, more stable, and deeply connected to my body. As I get older, avoiding injury is paramount; Jackie has given me the tools and confidence to practice safely for years to come. Her teachings are incredibly transformative.” — Scott (Washington, DC)
