5th annual lake keowee glōw up women’s retreat

July 30 - August 2nd 2026

Testimonial:

“The Lake Keowee Glōw Up Retreat was such an incredible soul-filling experience! I didn’t have any expectations going in but I sometimes struggle in groups of women (feeling less than) & I’ve had social anxiety in larger groups, but oh my goodness…the raw & real connection broke my heart open! It was just so so so beautiful & wonderful & the whole time I just could not stop feeling so much awe of every single woman there & what they’ve accomplished & their journey & power & confidence. It was super expansive. It was the perfect balance of movement & stillness, contemplation & connection. The food was a joygasm with every bite. When I left, I tuned into my body & I felt a little bit of an empty & sad feeling because that type of energy - that I felt all weekend - I want to be in it all the time! It was just so great. I got so many takeaways. And bonus: I’m back in my light & tapped into my creativity & intuition again! It was just so valuable & I can’t thank you enough.”

nature. nourishment. connection. JOY.

Join us for the weekend in beautiful Lake Keowee - where you get to live in luxury, surround yourself in nature, practice yoga daily, enjoy farm to table meals and connect with like-hearted women.

This retreat is for the woman who’s been giving to everyone else - but knows it’s time to fill up her own cup. It’s for the woman who’s ready to unplug from the daily grind & reconnect with herself. It’s for you - if you’ve been craving a reset, a healthy vacation, and an opportunity to learn, laugh & connect with amazing women.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, energized and fully lit up from the inside out. ✨

2026 GUEST TEACHER

I’m so honored that we have Amanda Lewis joining us this year (pictured above)!

She’s a Charleston native, wife, mom of two with a passion for bringing people together through movement & she’s an incredibly gifted yoga teacher.

Her classes are consistently waitlisted for a reason. Amanda brings a rare blend of humor, warmth, strength, and genuine connection into every space she teaches. Whether she’s hosting “Mat Chats”, teaching yoga, mat Pilates, or strength-based movement at The Mills House Hotel or The Works, her energy is welcoming, uplifting, and deeply empowering.

I cannot wait for you to experience her magic ✨

CONNECTION + COMMUNITY

At the heart of this women’s yoga retreat is connection and community. In a world that often feels fast-paced & disconnected, this retreat offers a sacred space to slow down, be seen, & truly connect - with yourself, your body, nature, & a powerful group of like-hearted women. Many people have come on this retreat solo & left with life-long friends. The yoga, food, sunshine, & fresh mountain air are amazing - but it's the belly laughs, the heartfelt chats & the new soul-sisters that make it unforgettable. Through shared experiences, movement, & meaningful conversation, we remember that we’re not meant to do life alone - we thrive in community.

“It is hard to find the words to explain my experience at Cortney‘s Yoga Retreat. It was truly the best weekend of my life. I discovered exactly who I am and exactly who I want to be. I found my soul tribe, my sisters, the women…who positively challenge me to be the best version of myself. This experience was way better than anything I ever could have imagined. I feel so incredibly blessed and I’m so grateful!”
