Where to Recenter in Boone: Yoga Studios and Retreats
Boone might be known for its hiking trails and bluegrass roots, but it’s also a town where slowing down is part of the rhythm.
When the trails wear you out or the week feels heavy, these are the places locals go to breathe easier, move with intention, and get back to center.
From mountaintop meditations to small-town studios that feel like second homes, here’s where you’ll find your flow.
High Country Yoga
This warm, welcoming studio has been a Boone staple for just over a decade—and for good reason. High Country Yoga offers a full weekly schedule with something for everyone, from beginner-friendly classes to power flows, hot yoga, and deeply restorative sessions. Their instructors are seasoned, grounded, and community-driven, and the studio itself is bright, peaceful, and refreshingly unpretentious.
One of their standout offerings? Reggae Yoga, a class that’s been part of the studio since day one. It’s upbeat, feel-good, and sets the tone for HCY’s all-are-welcome energy.
During warmer months, they also host stand-up paddleboard yoga at Price Lake—an unforgettable way to soak in the healing power of the Blue Ridge while finding your balance on water. No experience needed, and all skill levels are welcome.

Neighborhood Yoga
Located in a charming historic building just off King Street, Neighborhood Yoga blends earthy ambiance with progressive programming. Their schedule includes a range of yoga styles—think slow flow, vinyasa, yin, kundalini, and therapeutic movement—with an emphasis on accessibility and mindful movement.
They also offer hybrid classes, so you can practice at home or in the studio. Plus, their cozy vegan café and retail space make it easy to grab a nourishing bite or browse wellness essentials post-class.
Neighborhood Yoga is committed to making yoga accessible, offering $5 donation-based classes throughout the week. You’ll also find seasonal classes at the Daniel Boone Native Gardens (weather permitting), which bring an added dose of nature into your practice.

Art of Living Retreat Center
More than just a yoga studio, the Art of Living Retreat Center is a full-fledged mountaintop sanctuary. Set on 380 acres with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge, this is the spot for full immersion. They offer daily yoga and meditation sessions, weekend retreats, Ayurvedic treatments, and spa services—all focused on holistic healing and deep rest.
If you’re not staying overnight, you can still join for a day of yoga, lunch in their vegetarian dining hall, and a walk on the scenic nature trails. The Sunday morning yoga class—with views of the valley below—has become a well-kept local secret.
