About this Retreat
Your Guides
Jessi, EYRT 500, teaches a Vinyasa based practice to combine elements of dance and natural movement with traditional yogic sequencing. She incorporates attention to rhythm of the breath and allows for organic movement to flow in each pose. She is grateful for the journey of yogic creativity and loves to share this movement of bliss with others along the way.
Jessi, along with her husband Zach and her parents, created Seven Springs Retreat Center in her mountain home of East Tennessee. Inspired by retreat centers from around the world, Seven Springs provides a natural and holistic space for local and global communities to experience high quality holistic education in the United States.
Details of this retreat
In the foothills of the oldest mountains in the world lies time and space for connection. The sacred stillness of this ancient world is the perfect place to become aware of the divine reflection within yourself. Step out of your daily life to find solace, and step back in strengthened with techniques to maintain balance and honor for that oneness that lies within and outside of you.
As spring begins to blossom in the mountains, rivers, and forests, it is a perfect time to align our intentions to find our balance. This 16-day journey provides the time and space to explore your Self, letting you emerge feeling supported, inspired and full of the breath of new beginnings, with a clear direction for following your passion and your purpose.
KULA COLLECTIVE’S HOLISTIC APPROACH TO YOGA
All of our yoga teacher trainings have a therapeutic approach, with a detailed focus on physical alignment as well as an emphasis on the roots of yoga in meditation and mindfulness.
More than this, all our trainings are infused with Earth Medicine practices, journeying through the three ‘worlds’ of the Andean Chakana and the four arts of yoga, to provide a powerful holistic learning experience.
All of our YTTs are Yoga Alliance Certified.
OUR 16-DAY FUSION & INTEGRATIVE FRAMEWORK
Kula’s 16-day Fusion & Integrative Framework is our newest model that has been created out of our students’ needs for accessibility, engagement and integration. We envision for our 200 hr yoga teacher trainings to not only be a transformational immersive experience for you, but to be a catalyst that bridges the gap between your spiritual and daily life. We want to support and empower you on this inward holistic yoga journey from Tennessee to your home life through online pre and post-training two hour live calls with your facilitators and fellow yoga students.

Accommodation
In the foothills of the oldest mountains in the world lies time and space for connection. The sacred stillness of this ancient world is the perfect place to become aware of the divine reflection within yourself. Step out of your daily life to find solace, and step back in strengthened with techniques to maintain balance and honor for that oneness that lies within and outside of you. Seven Springs is the Tennessee home of Zach and Jessi, two of our Kula Collective co-founders. The family spirit is strong here: Jessi’s grandmother and parents have been homesteading the land for almost fifty years. From building to managing to mowing the grass, it takes all four generations to keep it up. Set on 126 acres of secluded forest, this is the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect. It has come a long way in six years, earning the title of #1 meditation retreat center in Success Magazine (sep/22). Gather for practice on our hand-built shala with local cedar posts. Nourish yourself with Olivia’s hearty local vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Fill your cup with crystal clear spring water. Walk the creek between our springs among old growth hardwoods. Get out to explore & hike Great Smoky Mountain National park just a short drive away. Just 25 minutes from the Knoxville airport and within a day’s drive of so many cities, getting away from it all has never been this easy. As summer sings in the mountains, rivers, and forests, it is a perfect time to allow the fire of the sun purify and ignite our intentions in our hearts, minds and souls.
