Thor

I was intimidated to go on a yoga retreat. I thought I would be the oldest (I was) and the most out of shape (again I was). I was concerned I would not be able to keep up and basically feel ridiculous. Terry and her team, for us that was Kara her daughter and Laura, the morning yoga instructor, are welcoming and truly want you to have an amazing experience. They made my fears disappear. Don’t bother being intimidated. It is a waste of worry. The setting is serene and you will have down time for yourself to read, hike, practice yoga, draw, nap etc. We went on 3 hikes, around a lake and to 2 gorgeous waterfalls. You can choose what activities you want to partake in. Some of us did everything and some chose to skip morning or night yoga. Make it yours. We had women of different ages, backgrounds who had never met and had the most wonderful conversations over 3 healthy meals a day. The yoga in the morning was a mix of relaxing and strength and at night pure restorative in prep for sleep. Just go and be happy.

Loved the yoga and Pilates classes. Terry was so knowledgeable and I enjoyed meeting everyone at the retreat

Everything was fabulous. Would absolutely return and highly recommend. The yoga is above par and provides plenty of room for beginners and more experienced yogis to grow their practice. The location and accommodations are unmatched…I cannot say enough about how peaceful, calming, and restorative it was to be surrounded in nature in such a beautiful place. The hiking was excellent with plenty of photo ops. Gym is well set up for those wanting to get in a workout. Loved the flexibility of the team and the schedule so that you can “customize” your experience and spend as much time in group or alone depending on your personal retreat goals and focus. Food is outstanding!! Everything is fresh, healthy, balanced, and of course, delicious!!! Rooms and facilities were all top notch (super comfy bed!!). I don’t know how else to gush about this, but it is a truly a must do!

The journaling questions on the last night that Terry presented. We all opened up in an intimate way and shared with one another. It was wonderful spending time with other women who were trying to grow in positive ways with a curiosity to set aside old beliefs and try something new, to say "yeah that wasn't working let's try this."

There wasn't just one thing. The beauty of the retreat center itself and the mountain surroundings was restful and relaxing. The company of like- minded women was the other wonderful element of this retreat. We enjoyed each others company and found our activities fun and fulfilling. Daily yoga set the tone and the wonderful, healthy meals brought it all together.

Oh My Goodness, where do I start?

TERRY: I don’t think I’ve ever met a more versatile, caring, and structured individual. An excellent YOGA Instructor, Personal Trainer, Gourmet Chef, a Tour Guide, to just lending a listening ear... “I was SO IMPRESSED with her abilities; and she does it with such poise.” I absolutely adore you, Terry! ❤️

The HOUSE: The View, the Cleanliness, THE COMFORT… What a BEAUTIFUL HOME… so welcoming… that’s when you KNOW you’re on vacation. 😊

The FOOD: HEALTHY, and ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS & DELICIOUS! WHO would have thought healthy food could have such flavors. Huhn, huhn, huhn😋😊!

The ACTIVITIES: OMG! 😊The Universe at its best! From YOGA, Weight training, HIKING, NATURE, the LOST SEA Excursion, the most RELAXING, mind blowing MASSAGE by Rachelle, to just sitting around LAUGHING, and SHARING experiences with NEW and interesting friends… “Just BEING PRESENT,” Embracing & Living in the Moment is EVERYTHING! Hmmmmmmm😊“JUST BEING” … I left there with a feeling of being LOVED, with a feeling of peace, joy & freedom… YES!!! feeling the true essence of having been on a REAL vacation…

“LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!”

Thank you soooo much, THOR for such an AMAZING AGAPE experience. 😊🙏❤️🤗🙌🏾 JUST AMAZING!!!

There was hardly anything to dislike about this retreat. It offered the perfect blend of relaxation, self-reflection, and adventure. The house itself is a dream come true, with unforgettable views.

The yoga classes were intimate and truly helped me reconnect with myself. The instructors were outstanding—definitely A++!

Terry, our host, did an incredible job planning our activities. She took us hiking, led us to an amazing cave, and on our last day, we even swam in a waterfall.

I would gladly attend this retreat 500 times over.

This retreat was refreshing. The location of the house was absolutely gorgeous. The hikes, food, and yoga were amazing. Terry is an excellent host!

Spending time at Thor was a wonderfully authentic and immersive experience, helping me reconnect with myself in the bucolic Tennessee mountain and forest scape.

The retreat was a perfect blend of refined offerings with private ensuites on gorgeous grounds and even more spectacular views.

The yoga program was top tier, the cuisine variety was delicious, the spa services excellent and thoughtful, and amenities well appointed.

I am full of gratitude to have had the opportunity to experience a wellness retreat with a concierge feel with privacy and comfort.

My experience at Terry's yoga retreat in the Smoky Mountains was nothing short of revitalizing. The retreat's stunning location provided an unparalleled backdrop for our daily activities, with several acres of untouched forest land offering both breathtaking views and a tranquil environment for introspection and relaxation.

One of the highlights of the retreat was the incredible food prepared by Robbin. Each meal was a testament to her culinary skills and passion for health and wellness, with dishes that were not only delicious but also nourishing, perfectly complementing our daily regimen of yoga and being in the outdoors.

Terry was a wonderful host! Her dedication to creating a welcoming and empowering space for all attendees was evident throughout the retreat. Her expertise in fitness and commitment to women's wellness shone through in every session, making each activity more meaningful and enriching.

Beyond the yoga and wellness aspects, what also set this retreat apart were the fun conversations and connections made with fellow attendees. The atmosphere Terry cultivated encouraged openness and camaraderie, leading to memorable moments and friendships.

The combination of the gorgeous location, Robin's incredible food, and the sense of community among the participants made this retreat a holistic experience. I left the retreat feeling rejuvenated, with a renewed appreciation for the beauty of nature and the power of community. Highly recommend!

The house location sits atop a hill with beautiful fresh air and mountain views. Terrific indoor yoga room, as well as outside patio for yoga and meditation while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature all around you. Our host, Terry was very helpful in teaching us about diet and nutrition, as well as making us all feel very welcome in her home.

The yoga instructor Laura, was a great teacher.

The food was outstanding, all made with fresh ingredients, amazing varieties of dishes and home cooked by Robin.

It was a pleasure to meet like minded women and share our yoga practice and outdoor adventures together.

This retreat is the whole package – yoga, trail hiking, delicious food, fun day trips – with a private room in a gorgeous home, with expansive views over the mountains. The owner Terri welcomed us into her home with open arms, she is an inspiration and the heart and soul of THOR. I highly recommend taking advantage of the one-on-one weight training with her. Our yoga instructor Laura was fantastic, she arrived each morning to lead us through 90 minutes of yoga and meditation, with respect to where each of us were in our yoga practice. Our chef Robin was full of energy and positivity, she was a wealth of information regarding healthy eating. The food she prepared and brought each day was perfection, organic and fresh. I learned so much from the teachers and the other guests. This was a fantastic experience, full of laughter, love, and meaningful conversations. Thank you!

THOR is stunning, and an incredible place for a mental reset. Perfectly situated in the mountains to get away from the craziness of everyday life.

Terry is an incredible host and leader - exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and clearly passionate about holistic health and creating a welcoming space for women. Her team is no exception: Robbin's food is killer, and Laura's yoga + meditation teaching is perfect for a variety of levels.

I went to THOR with my 30-year-old daughter. We both loved the experience. The setting is just lovely - mountain, house, property. The atmosphere is chill while still being clearly focused on health and wellness. Noelle is the best yogi ever. Terry is focused, warm, informative, and inspiring. The cook, Robin, is not only an excellent provider and preparer, but also a cool, fierce, fun, thoughtful, and all-around kickass woman. The open kitchen, open house, and essentially OPEN vibe were all perfect for us. The side trip to Conasagua Falls is highly recommended.
