RealJoy Retreats in Hocking Hills Ohio
June 19th - 22nd, 2025
Relax and recharge with this 4-day, 3-night, retreat. Enjoy daily yoga, stunning hikes, delicious food, new friends, group activities, and more. For the highlight of the trip, we will celebrate the longest day of the year with a sound bowl ceremony under the stars on the evening of the summer solstice.
Hocking Hills State Park, located in southeastern Ohio, is nationally and internationally acclaimed for its dramatic topography, glistening waterfalls, massive sandstone outcroppings, deep cool gorges, impressive caves, and well-groomed hiking trails. If you love to hike, bring your boots and visit Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave Gorge, Cedar Falls, Conkle's Hollow, Whispering Cave, and more.
You’ll stay in a luxury log lodge built in 2023 that will take your breath away. All of our meals will be catered by our own private chef. Plenty of space to spread out! Numerous living areas including a main floor living room centered around the gorgeous 2 story stone fireplace and full wall of windows. The basement rec room features a pool table, air hockey and lounge area, plus a movie theatre with a 135" screen! Even if you never leave the lodge, there is plenty to do!
Outside, the expansive deck and covered paver patio overlook unspoiled forest. Soak in the huge hot tub, kick back on a swing, make smores by the fire, enjoy the private pond, play bocce ball or try your luck at cornhole.

"RealJoy Yoga is a community that promotes mental and physical growth. Joy and her team are welcoming to all experience levels, but especially to us beginners. She knows everyone by name and never wastes an opportunity to get to know us on a personal level. I have felt comfortable and supported as I have learned poses and flows, accepting that taking risks is the only way to grow. I have built up my strength and balance over the past two months, which has in turn built up my confidence and desire to keep pushing my limits. RealJoy yoga has taught me to be proud of how far I have come and excited about how far I will go. Thank you, Joy!"
