We’ve crafted this mini-retreat in hotels, homes, mountain cabins, lakeside retreat centers, and even outdoors in the Asheville Botanical Gardens but our recommended accommodation for this type of retreat is hands down a vacation rental or your private home.
Whether your group is celebrating a girlfriend getaway, wedding weekend, solo retreat, or corporate team building weekend, we recommend renting your own space. So many sweet memories are made during “downtime” in your schedules, when folks are lounging around, relaxing, and catching up. This can’t happen if you’re sequestered in separate hotel rooms.
Enjoy just the right mix of privacy, personal time and space balanced by comfy gathering areas where the loveliest bonding moments take place. We recommend starting with Yonder Luxury Rentals or Upstream Way. For a more comprehensive list of accommodations for groups, take a peek at this page.
We work with only the best yoga instructors in Asheville so your private class can be crafted to fit your groups needs! We can plan a warming flow class or restful restorative practice. Classes are appropriate for all levels.
Your instructor will provide thoroughly sanitized mats for your use. You may also use your own mat, towel, or blanket for practice. We do not provide props such as straps, blocks, bolsters, etc, but your instructor will absolutely help you get creative with the supplies you have on hand and will offer modifications to asanas along the way as needed. If you know you need a particular prop, please let us know in advance so we can bring one along if possible.
All instructors hold a minimum 200hr yoga certification and a passion for wellness. Consider your instructor a resource! They love to chat about unique approaches to wellness and have allllll the recommendations for what to do around town.
Absolutely! All of our instructors have prenatal yoga training and will offer modifications.
Though we can often accommodate last minute requests, we recommend reserving your group yoga class at least 2 weeks in advance when possible…especially if you have a tight schedule. Our busiest days are Saturdays and the busiest season is March – October.
Definitely don’t let that discourage you last-minute-getaway-adventurers out there, though! Our team is large and we’re all passionate about sharing this practice with you. We’ll do what we can to accommodate… always!

Absolutely! We’ve offered yoga classes to corporate groups in ballrooms/hotel lawns/city parks, wedding parties on-site at gorgeous venues, yoga-where-you-are mini sessions for large meetings, and more. We would love to bring a bit of balance and movement to your group.
The ancient archetypes of the tarot connect us to larger cycles of growth, provide solace through tough times, and encourage us to stay on our path. We have a blog explaining more: What is Tarot?
We like to think that tarot highlights areas of your life that you are ready to look at, rather than predicting the future.
Our tarot readers can come to your home, office, or vacation rental or meet you at a city park, cozy tea house, or local café. Not in Asheville? No worries! We can also meet you online for a virtual tarot reading…no matter where in the world you may be.
Note that locations more than 10 miles from downtown Asheville include an additional travel fee at the rate of $25 for each additional 10 miles. Example: 0-10 miles included | 11-20 miles $25 | 21-30 miles $50 and so on.
Group tarot sessions begin with an intention-setting, guided meditation. From there, each participant will have an opportunity to ask their question (either silently or shared with the group) and the tarot reader will interpret the symbolism and possible messages of the cards that are chosen in response. The timing of each participant’s reading varies depending on the size of your group but you can typically plan on 10-15 mins per person.
It can be powerful to not only witness someone else’s reading but to also relax into the support of your group and have your own reading witnessed by others. Individual tarot readings often overlap in group settings and this experience will surely spark conversation for quite awhile afterwards. It’s a unique way to connect more deeply to yourself and each other!
For groups who prefer a bit more privacy, you may also elect to have participants sit with the reader one-on-one so the group rotates through rather than participating in the full experience. For groups larger than 10, we will send multiple tarot readers to maximize your time.
Click BOOK NOW to reserve your desired date and time. We’ll send a Zoom link to each member of your group prior to your chosen start time. We recommend logging in a few minutes early to troubleshoot any technical difficulties and settle in before your reading.
From there, a professional tarot reader will join in to guide your experience. Begin with a moment for intention-setting before you each receive a reading, approximately 10-15 minutes per person, depending on your group size. For groups larger than 10 or for groups with time constraints, we can have multiple tarot readers available and send either individuals or small groups into breakout rooms to maximize your time. See “how does a group tarot reading work” above for more info specific to groups.
We can easily accommodate large groups, including corporate groups, by sending multiple readers, varying the flow of the session, or facilitating a workshop rather than individual readings. We have many creative options for you depending on the size of your group, the goal of your gathering, and any time constraints you may have. Both in-person and virtual tarot readings are available.
Send us an email at Custom@AshevilleWellnessTours.com or call 828-407-0711 and we’ll get to work crafting the best tarot experience for your group.

Due to the popularity of at-home massage, we recommend reserving your massages as soon as possible, but even if it’s last minute, get in touch! We’re often able to accommodate requests and will do what we can to support you. Our standard recommendations are as follows:
For Groups: if you’re a group of 4+, we like to schedule a team of therapists to care for your group in order to maximize your time. In these cases, advance notice of two weeks or more is recommended to increase your chances of scheduling at the time that works best for you. For large corporate groups (20+ people), we recommend scheduling at minimum 21 days in advance.
For Individuals, Couples, and Small Groups: while we can often accommodate appointments within 24hrs, we prefer as much advance notice as possible whenever possible. The more time we have to assign your therapist, the more flexibility we have to find the therapist we feel is the best fit for your specific needs.
All you need to do is make sure you have space for the therapist to set up the massage table and be able to work around it (about 6’ to 7’ in length and 4’ in width). Your therapist will bring all the supplies needed, including massage oil and/or lotion, sheets, music, and towels.
Once your therapist has prepared the table for you, he or she will allow you the privacy to disrobe to your comfort level and position yourself on the table underneath a sheet or towel. Our therapists use professional draping techniques, so your privacy will be respected at all times.
Absolutely! Please let us know in advance if any member of your group is seeking a prenatal massage. Due to the additional props and expertise required, this service costs an additional $15 per massage.
Cancellations more than 72 hrs prior to your scheduled experience are refundable minus a $10/person admin fee or you may choose a store credit for 100% of your purchase price. Out of respect for the therapist’s time, cancellations between 0-72 hrs prior to your scheduled experience are not refundable.
Gratuity is always appreciated but never obligatory. You may pre-pay gratuity as part of your check-out process if you’d like to ensure all details are taken care of in advance so all that’s left to do on the day of your massage is relax! You may also share with your therapist on the day of your treatment directly via cash or Venmo.
An alternate way to show your appreciation is to share a review of your experience online and give your hardworking therapist a shout-out. Your kind words mean more than you know! You can find us on TripAdvisor, Google, and Yelp
Our standard at-home massage is a relaxing, Swedish style massage. If you have a special request (deep tissue, Thai, etc), please contact us ahead of time. We’re happy to accommodate when possible! Alternate styles and special requests may include an additional fee.
