Nope! The yoga session is appropriate for all levels and is a great introduction to the practice and a sweet opportunity to stretch & move even if you haven’t tried it yet. All of our instructors are accustomed to teaching to varied levels of experience and will be happy to offer modifications and prompts throughout the class.

For your hike, wear any light, flexible, weather appropriate clothing that you’re comfortable moving your body in. We recommend synthetic, quick drying fabrics. Avoid cotton at all costs! Closed toe shoes and a rainproof layer are critical.

Because the weather here can vary dramatically, dressing in layers will be your key to comfort. Remember that temperatures in the mountains can be 10-20 degrees cooler than in town so a warm, dry upper layer is always recommended even if it looks like a hot day. If you’re hiking in Spring, Fall or Winter, we also recommend bringing gloves and a winter hat just in case. Your rain jacket can double as a wind breaker. Ponchos are ok too!

Sun protection like sunscreen, hat, or long sleeves is critical year round as your yoga practice takes place on the sunny summit.

We recommend bringing a small day bag for your personal items. Make sure to bring rain protection (rain jacket or poncho) no matter what the forecast says, a full water bottle, sun protection, and any critical medications.

Your instructor will provide a yoga mat and carrying strap for your comfort.

Weather is part of the practice! We will hike rain or shine so please check the weather, dress accordingly, and always bring rain protection. Sometimes, weather may prevent us from holding a yoga practice while on the trail. In those cases, the following will apply:

PRIVATE HIKES: With at least 48hrs notice, you may elect to switch to a private class at your rental (depending on location) or a local studio (additional $50 rental fee, pending availability). A trip planner would be happy to discuss these and other options with you prior to your arrival. No refunds or store credits will be issued for no-shows.

If we cancel for any reason, we will refund your purchase in full or reschedule you if you prefer.

One important note about this adventure that we cannot stress enough: we encourage you to not allow a sketchy forecast dampen your spirits. The weather here is incredibly difficult to predict and we often enjoy sunny skies when rain is in the forecast or run into a heavy downpour when we expected bright sunshine. Our instructors are wonderful at adapting the practice to the weather and it’s all part of the adventure out here! It’s all part of the practice (and the fun) if you allow it to be!

We can accommodate group sizes up to 30 with advance notice.

All yoga guides hold a minimum 200hr yoga certification and a passion for sharing the story of Asheville and our stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Throughout the experience, please consider your local guide a resource! They love to chat about unique approaches to wellness, our wild natural world, and have allllll the recommendations for what to do around town.

Although we love fur babies & are happy to have leashed dogs and cats join us on private yoga hikes, the brewery tour is not a suitable experience for them. You’ll be enjoying a very full day so we recommend leaving your furry friend at home.

Tours must be canceled at least 72 hours before the tour to receive a refund. Please call 828-233-5006 to cancel. Asheville Brewery Tours reserves the right to cancel a tour if there are not at least 4 participants booked on a tour, if this occurs we will issue full refunds.

Group size decreases will be accepted up to 72 hrs prior to your scheduled experience. You’re eligible for a refund minus a $10/person admin fee as long as minimum group size thresholds are met. Group size decreases between 72-0 hrs prior to your scheduled experience are non-refundable and no store credits will be issued within that window.

Health Considerations: If you feel ill, please stay home and let us know as soon as possible. Our stated cancellation policy will still apply. If you are concerned about the risks of last minute cancellation, please consider taking out travel insurance.

These minimums and policies ensure all experience providers, admin team members, guides, and instructors are paid a living wage for their work. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to remain as flexible as possible!

If Asheville Wellness Tours cancels for any reason, we will either reschedule you or refund your purchase in full.

Tips are always appreciated. If you feel you had a wonderful experience, the average amount is $20-40/person. This will be shared between your yoga hiking guide and your brewery tour guide. For private groups, we offer a pre-pay option for gratuities so you can focus solely on enjoying the adventure day-of.

Another way to show your appreciation is to share a review of your experience online and give your hardworking guides a shout-out by name. Your kind words mean more than you know!

Because this mini-retreat takes you out and about to explore the mountains, you might opt to stay in a more urban setting close to (or in the heart of) downtown Asheville.

Enjoy just the right mix of privacy and personal time balanced by the ultimate convenience of being within walking distance of all of downtown’s adventures. We recommend starting your search with The Foundry Hotel, Yonder Luxury Rentals (ask for the downtown lofts), or Windsor Boutique.
