⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “I was very pleased with my experience! It was an extremely foggy, drizzly day which I thought would be a big disappoint but it was not at all. Our guide, Elizabeth, did a wonderful job and the fog actually added to the experience. No views that day but it was peaceful hiking and doing yoga under the oak tree, surrounded by the morning mist. Well worth it!” ~Tammy M. August 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Such an amazing experience! 100% highly recommend and I will definitely be back!!” Suzette, July 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Our guide, Jacqueline, was a wonderful facilitator for our experience. She shared her strong knowledge of the local flora and fauna as well as the metaphysics of the trail we hiked and open air space atop the mountain where we practiced yoga. As a newcomer to the practice I appreciated her clear explanations of poses - this made the whole of the experience highly accessible to me and I truly appreciated it. Most importantly - and this surprised me - was the powerful connection to the earth and nature that Jacqueline helped me tap into during this experience. It was spiritually powerful and moving.” ~Andrew R. July 2024

⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “We had a wonderful experience Kelli- she was the perfect guide! :)” Madison G., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Our Morning Mountaintop Vortex Meditation Hiking Yoga Micro Retreat with Jacqueline C. at Craggy was peaceful, beautiful and restorative. What a wonderful way for even us locals to experience our gorgeous North Carolina mountains. 10/10 will do again!” Holly F., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Jacqueline C did a great job of keeping us together and making it a fun time. She catered the meditation and yoga poses for the experience level of the group, and kept us active but still relaxed.” Clay T., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Rachel was our guide and she was very welcoming and inviting. She took us through the scenery as we hiked to our yoga location and shared facts about the foliage and blue ridge. She even brought some tea and snapped some pictures of our experience along the way!” ~September E., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “We did the morning vortex hike and had Kelli as our guide. She was very friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. Would definitely try the sunset hike.” ~ Amanda B., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “I had THE best time with Sophie! I didn't fully know what to expect coming into this, but it exceeded my expectations and Sophie was just so sweet and knowledgeable. She even pulled out tarot cards for a little reflection and I had my best meditation I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend!” ~Rachel S., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Sophie was an amazing guide! My husband and I did the retreat a bit worried bc we are older (47 & 55), out of shape, and not as fit as we once were. The hike was very manageable and we even did an extra little hike to see the top of the falls, and it was awesome to challenge ourselves! And it was worth the view!! Our favorite part was the meditation. Being in the forest, with the waterfalls as sound therapy, made for an incredible experience. My husband and I both work very demanding jobs and we can rarely unplug. This retreat was the perfect start to our vacation as we try reconnect with each other and ground ourselves through the beauty of the outdoors. I would start every day with this retreat if I could!” ~Melissa M., June 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Kelli was an awesome guide and really personalized the hike and yoga attentive to our pace. It was a wonderful Mother’s Day trek. Thanks Kelli, you rule!” ~ Julia J. May 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “It was perfect from location to guide who did a wonderful job with the yoga and engaging with us during the hike as well. It was the highlight of our trip. Kelli was so great and she even brought hot tea with her that was a nice warming sip after the chilly early morning. The direction were good and easy to follow and suggestions of layers were right on the mark as it warmed up.” ~ Nisha B. April 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “We adventured down to Asheville for a bachelorette trip for the weekend and wanted to start the weekend off with some zen, good movement amongst all the partying we would be doing. Megan was our instructor and she did an amazing job guiding all 8 of us through a Vinyasa Flow. We had a unique set up (had to rearrange an airbnb furniture to make a little dojo) and she was friendly, thoughtful and guided us through a great practice. The lavender scented towels were a great addition! Highly recommend Megan if you are considering any yoga in the area.” ~Samuel S. April 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “ Absolutely one of the best experiences of my life. Some how got lucky enough to not have anyone else sign up at the same time as me and I got a solo hike/meditation/yoga session with Hayley. It was INCREDIBLE she was so knowledgeable of the region, and an fantastic meditation and yoga guide. I truly enjoyed every bit of this retreat and hope to return to do another one someday. Couldn’t recommend this company enough have had a good experience from the moment I signed up.” ~ Coral Z., March 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “This experience was absolutely amazing. The scenic views and waterfalls were relaxing and a beautiful backdrop for photos. Hayley was an amazing guide and Yoga instructor. She gave us some history about the area as we hiked and she felt like a member of our family by the end of the experience. We will be back in a few months to repeat our time.” ~ Ebony H. February 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Had a lovely hike and yoga session with Kelli, who, while a relatively recent resident of Asheville, was clearly well-versed in the surrounding area and trails. She was very friendly and went out of her way to personalize the experience and accommodate my preferences. The trail is totally off the beaten path and I would have never found it otherwise. The trail is easy/moderately difficult and has two very picturesque spots along a waterfall. Coming in November ensures you’re surrounded by glowing fall foliage but that introduces some risk of slipping, so be careful. After a couple hours exploring the trail and waterfall and meditating, we ended with a yoga session in an old camping spot. It was a restorative experience and a wonderful way to kick off my North Carolina trip. Highly recommend!” ~ Debbie M., November 2023
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “This hiking/yoga/meditation experience was definitely 10/10! Everything about our hike, yoga and meditation far exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Brandon, was awesome!” ~Caroline H. November 2023
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “I got this experience as my Auntie's birthday present and we had the most amazing time ever! We didn't know how would it go because it was raining a bit, but it ended up being even more perfect because of the rain. It just gave us an extra spec magic and we were so thankful for all the gorgeous nature and all of its elements around us. Our guide Brandon was incredible and lovely person to be around. Needless to say, we highly recommend this experience, rain or shine!” ~Ivana D., November 2024
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Kelli was amazing and conducted a customized flow just for our group. Lovely!” ~Alice C. October 2023

September 2023
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “This is the second vortex yoga hike and also for a friend’s birthday. We came from Atlanta each time and I absolutely love Asheville, NC - it is so beautiful, peaceful, and the air is so refreshing. The first hike was last year and it was a sunset hike which was an amazing picturesque time; this second hike, a year later, was the morning hike which was also amazing with the morning air so fresh and crisp and also equally beautiful. You will enjoy this experience and the folks at Namaste In Nature are all so kind and helpful!” ~Linh D. September 2023

⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Jacqueline was an awesome guide and instructor on our sunset yoga hike. I highly recommend this for a unique experience!” Lori B., August 2023
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Treat yourself to this sunset yoga session. The hike, while steep, is worth every huffing breath and inclined step! Once you reach the gazebo for the guided meditation you begin to ground yourself in preparation for your practice. The views of the sunset on the bluff are breathtaking. I really didn’t want the session to end. Our guide, Emma, was wonderful! She’s charming and has the kind of calming voice that helps enhance your turn inward as you explore your practice in nature. Truly an experience that benefits the soul!” Franchesca D., July 2023
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Hayley was a great yoga/ hiking guide. She knew a lot of history about the waterfalls and was just delightful. It was just an all around awesome experience and I highly recommend it. Thanks Hayley from Becky & Connie” July 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “My BFF and I were on a long weekend girls trip. We wanted to relax and be in nature. This was the perfect way to start our time in the mountains! Nicole was the best guide as we ventured to the top of the falls at Toms Creek Falls and descended down into our yoga spot by the river. It was amazing to talk with her and get to know the area through a local’s eyes. We highly recommend this journey!” ~Mary S. July 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “This experience was exactly what I hoped it would be and exactly what I needed. Rose was a fantastic guide and such a lovely human to spend time with. The location was perfect, directions and communication were spot on - so important since I am only visiting Asheville. I would readily go on another hike or even the same one again as I believe each time spent in the space would render of different experience. Thank you for creating this opportunity for me.” ~Diane R., July 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Emma was the light I needed in my life that day! The weather didn’t quite cooperate but we made the most of it and I felt so at ease, I barely noticed the storm around us! Thank you Emma for your beautiful energy and much-needed evening of peace and gratitude. ” ~ Allie M., July 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Lovely hike with a few surprises!” Ashely R. June 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Nicole was such a wonderful guide! It was clear to us how much she loves what she does.

The waterfalls were a real treat and the yoga in nature was a wonderful experience. When we got in the car afterwards, my hiking partner exclaimed: "She's so lovely!" Thanks, Nicole!” ~Kenneth B. June 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Really enjoyed this experience. The guide was great to get to know and taught me a lot about the area we were passing through. The location was breathtaking. Well worth the trip!” ~Kelly F. May 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Brandon led a private yoga class at our Airbnb for my sister’s bachelorette and was SO wonderful. The flow was the perfect mix of grounding and energizing/got our bodies moving for the weekend ahead. I couldn’t recommend Namaste In Nature more, for their scheduling flexibility, communication prior to and after our session, rates, and service - such a fun activity for a weekend away. Thank you!!” ~Jocelyn S. June 2023

⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “This was just a wonderful experience. Booked this for my wife's 50th and could not have been more perfect. It was just the right amount of hiking, scenery, and yoga. Our guide, Nicole, was perfect: amiable, easy-going, knowledgeable. Perfect! Thank you Namaste!” Shelby S., March 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “ The Historical Yoga Hike in March was equally fabulous! Our guide was Rose and she took excellent care of us…even through unexpected rain! Be sure to pack a rain jacket (follow all the packing instructions) because you never know what the mountain weather may be. 10/10 recommend Namaste in Nature!!!” ~Angela H., March 2023
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “We had a wonderful yoga hike! Our guide, Jennifer, was pleasant and personable and knowledgeable about the hike.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Great experience for me and my family. Hike uphill so be ready for the elevation! We took a rest halfway and did some breathing exercises. Unfortunately there was a lot of cloud coverage this day so not able to capture the amazing views from the mountain. Yoga was good - Nicole did plenty of poses and has a soothing voice for concentration. The area we stopped to do yoga in was a little difficult to balance at because of the terrain - a true nature experience and great exercise! Nicole was very sweet too!” ~ Christina L. October 2022

We had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to do it again!!! She was truly amazing and she put us at ease immediately. She was so easy to talk to and kept us entertained. I’m not typically an outdoorsy person but after experiencing the mountaintop, I’m going to change my ways. The mountains may start calling my name.” ~Dana G., September 2022
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “What a magical experience! Valerie was a delightful host, and experience yoga teacher. The hike was a nice slow pace, with views along the way.

Hayley was personable, a joy to meet and spend time with, and brought much meaning to everything. Highly recommend!” ~Gwenn R. July 2022
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “We loved our experience with the Sunset Vortex Mountaintop Yoga Hike! Our guide was Valerie, and she was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy-going. We booked this during our mother-daughters trip and we are so glad we did… The hike to the top was uphill, but we stopped for breaks so it wasn't too strenuous. And the view from the top was amazing! It was a different experience doing yoga outside in a field, but we all agreed we would do it again. We were concerned about the weather, since it was cloudy and thundering when we arrived. But the weather cleared and it actually didn't rain at all! So don't let the possibility of bad weather scare you away, because it changes so rapidly. Overall, we loved this experience and it was one of our favorite things we did in Asheville!” ~Carly D. July 2022

Temperature when we left was 93 and when reached the summit dropped to 70 with a nice cool breeze.” ~Norman B. June 2022
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Incredible, magical experience and during the summer solstice no less! The beauty of the mountains at sunset is breathtaking. As a solo traveler, a guided hike was a great way to enjoy Asheville’s natural beauty in a safe, group setting. Jacqueline, our guide and meditation/yoga instructor, was absolutely amazing. Hiking with Jacqueline felt seamless and as if I had just met up with an old friend. Cannot wait to book another experience with this group the next time I am in town.” ~Anna D. June 2022
⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ “Our guide, Rose, was amazing. As we hiked she told us about wildlife and was super knowledgeable. About halfway through she lead us in a meditation that was great. Once we reached the top she read us our spirit animal tarot and then lead us through yoga. She even asked us what our favorite poses were and tried to incorporate it all in. The experience was wonderful and we all really enjoyed it. It was great to feel centered and grounded.” ~Kristen B. June 2022

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Jennifer was amazing! Our group had fun together and it was really nice to have her take pictures, since I’m traveling solo and don’t really have any from my travels so far that aren’t selfies.

The yoga poses and sequences left me feeling energized and renewed. I would recommend this yoga hike and plan to bring friends and book again in the future!”
“This was an experience out of this world.! When we started the hike we had some expectations, but Miranda didn’t only meet them, but completely exceeded them. Miranda was extremely sweet and knowledgeable about the park, water falls, and surrounding areas. She allowed us to take our time during the hike and stopped at key points to make sure we captured the perfect picture. She even brought tea and scarfs to keep us warm! As we were doing the walk she shared very valued information as well as some personal stories that made us feel more comfortable and connected with the experience. She was very opened to answer questions and was always making sure we were good and enjoying the experience. The guided meditation and Yoga was very relaxing it allowed us to connect more with nature and clear our minds. She also took some amazing pictures and shared them the next day of the trip. Miranda thank you very much for this awesome experience!!”
“This experience was truly one of a kind! Ceiara was a phenomenal yogi and guide. Her passion for the yoga practice seeps through in the way she carries herself and the way she speaks. I left this experience refreshed, grounded, more connected, and like I made a new friend. Highly recommend this experience!”
“Great hike and yoga experience! The waterfall and forest were beautiful. Ceiara was the best guide and we enjoyed getting to know her over the 3 hours. The woods were very majestic and she did great job getting us to slow down and appreciate the views.”
“This was a great unique experience. Miranda was patient, knowledgeable and catered our yoga needs. I could have spent the entire day at the falls and doing yoga. I can’t wait to go back.”
“I had the most amazing hike, meditation, & yoga with Ceiara from Namaste with Nature. We did this as a part of my bachelorette weekend here in Asheville and everyone enjoyed it so much!! Ceiara was so nice and really made the entire experience perfect! I highly recommend this to anyone coming to Asheville!”
“By far one of the best yoga classes I've ever taken! Miranda was amazing and is a total sweetheart! So glad I found her via yelp. She's forcing me to plan another trip back to Asheville again in the future. I highly recommend her hands down!”
“We had an amazing experience. It was such a refreshing time. Miranda, our guide was amazing and so nice. This Waterfall yoga hike added 5 years to my life. We definitely recommend this as a must if you're in the area-local or tourist.”

“Ceiara was wonderful as was the hike, waterfall view, meditation and the yoga practice! The private spot selected for practice was so serene with the sounds of the river in the background. The class sequence and duration was spot on with our level of experience! Ceiara was a delight and it was so nice getting to know a bit more about her yoga journey and family as we hiked along. She also shared interesting historical facts about the trail and provided additional local recommendations including a brunch spot we visited right after — Sunny Point Cafe :) — delish! We highly recommend her and this experience!”

Waterfalls, hike, yoga - perfect!
“We had an amazing time hiking the Catawba falls. Starting the hike early ensures a peaceful and not crowded trail. It was a bit chilly in the morning so Miranda brought tea for everyone before we headed out. She knows so much about Asheville trails and can give you tips and recommendations! We had a beautiful meditation near the falls and a awakening yoga class to start the day! Recommend 100%!”

“I loved getting to know Miranda and we had a great time hiking, meditating by the waterfalls, and doing yoga in the woods. A butterfly joined us and just hung out on my hand for the entire yoga session! The hike was beautiful and a nice start to the morning, and the falls were majestic. Miranda has so many interesting life stories to share and was a really positive, enjoyable person to be around. She also sent me some wonderful pictures of our morning which I love and plan to share with others! I heartily recommend the namaste in nature experience with Miranda!”

The yoga and hike with Miranda was an excellent experience! Miranda is warm and welcoming to everyone, regardless of your experience with yoga (or lack of experience). The yoga was so relaxing on the mountainside, and it was a great way to warm-up before the hike. We hiked to a beautiful peak, and Miranda took pictures throughout the experience... I definitely recommend this. It's well worth it.

This was one of the highlights of my trip! Beautiful hike and the waterfall was so relaxing! As a photographer, I am constantly looking for shots to take and hardly ever in photographs. It was awesome that Miranda took photos and sent them to us. It let me be in the moment and not connected to my phone or camera. Yoga in the woods was great. It wasn’t super hard or too easy. It was very calming to be in the woods with glimmers of sunshine coming through the trees. Perfect day!

Hiking, yoga, and meditation at Catawba Falls
This was such a wonderful experience! I would DEFINITELY recommend this to everyone! Miranda was an amazing yoga instructor - very friendly, fun and flexible to our small group. The hike was beautiful and not too challenging and the yoga was great. Miranda has a beautiful spot where she sets up to do yoga and she provides yoga mats.
She also took a bunch of pictures for us! Absolutely no complaints. Really great experience! I would do it again and again.

A New Way to Connect with Asheville
My husband and I love Asheville and visit several times a year. Typically, we go to a lot of breweries, restaurants, and then some more breweries. This time we were looking to be more active, so we decided to try Namaste in Nature. We figured it would be a good multitasking activity: get a workout while exploring the outdoors.
Miranda, our instructor, led us on an amazing and memorable hike to Catawba Falls. The hike was relatively easy, with only a few rocky and steep areas. We hiked for about a mile to the waterfall, where we stopped to meditate for a bit.
We then hiked back a few minutes until we got to a flat area of land away from the trail. Here, we had an hour-long yoga class. As a yoga instructor, Miranda was very accommodating and laid back. She happily customized the class to our expertise level. We've done yoga before and we're runners, so she focused on poses that she knew we could handle and would be helpful for runners.
This was an awesome way to connect with Asheville in a new way. It was a uniquely Asheville experience. I highly recommend a morning yoga hike with Namaste in Nature. It's great for beginners or experienced Yogis alike.
