Register for The YogaFaith Alumni ReUnion

The FIRST

YogaFaith Alumni ReUnion (ReYoga) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Ashe County, NC!

May 31 - June 2, 2026

with optional extension through June 3rd. 

 

A sanctified life is formed over time. The call to Christ-centered Yoga isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s for the faith-hearted. It is a hard and holy journey that can feel lonely at times, yet it is deeply blessed.

So let’s come together to reconnect and recenter—to Reflect, Restore, Renew, and ReYOGA our hearts, minds, and bodies with our Abba, Father. Here, in our little peace 🕊️  of heaven at Wild Haven Sanctuary, where we can abide, arise, and ROAR back to life—better together.

Serving in the messy middle is hard and holy work, but you’re not in this alone. Join us May 31st - June 2nd (or 3rd) for a restorative retreat that includes practices and experiences for your mind, body, and soul. Each day you’ll be invited to:

  • Share a small gift or creative offering —swag bag love or a simple session welcome. (Please contact us @ [email protected] if you are willing and able to lead a yoga session/workshop!)

  • Hear real stories of hope and healing.
  • Listen to or participate in thoughtful discussions.
  • Experience the gifts and talents of fellow YogaFaithers.

Meet the hearts and souls behind the ReUnion

Trish McCall

Host, Wild Haven Sanctuary Founder, and WilderMess Trail Guide

Trish is a registered nurse, yoga therapist, and nature-loving guide - whose work is rooted in deep compassion, lived wisdom, and faith. She brings together clinical insight, embodied practices, and a reverent love for God’s creation in a way that feels both grounding and grace-filled. 

As a trauma survivor herself, Trish doesn’t just teach healing, but lives it as she leads others with tenderness. She understands that healing is not rushed, forced, or formulaic—it’s relational. Through mindful movement, time in nature, and gentle presence, she creates safe space for people to rest, listen, and remember who they are in God without striving or performing. She invites you to slow down, breathe, and walk with our Good, Good Abba toward hope, wholeness, and renewal.

Julie Petersen

Co-Host, Breathe Yoga Essential Oils Founder, and Tie-Dye Connoisseur 

Julie wants to make the world a better place ~ one deep breath at a time. In addition to teaching high school math, Julie teaches YogaFaith classes twice a week in southeast Nebraska. For ten years, she has been leading people of all ages into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ while connecting breath with movement and meditating on scripture; using essential oils to enrich the experience. Known for her welcoming smile and affinity for tie-dye, Julie’s enthusiasm for life is contagious!

Her approach to life gives hard and holy subjects a more LIGHT-hearted feel. Julie is the friend you never knew you needed on your YogaFaith teaching and instructing journey.

Michelle Thielen

Virtual Co-Host, YogaFaith Founder, and Life Giving, Truth Speaking Gospel Yogi 

Michelle Thielen is a gentle and courageous guide who creates space for God to meet people right where they are.
