Cate Powell - Owner

Cate is the owner of The Intown Retreat, Decatur's only full service yoga studio and spa. She lives in Candler Park, is the mom of three girls and somehow also has a career as an attorney - all of which helps explain why she has long been drawn to creating a space devoted to wellness, connection, and exhale-worthy moments in the midst of life's activity. 

A religious studies major in college, Cate later spent two years in India studying Buddhism and interfaith relations, and completed her yoga teacher training at Tough Love Yoga in 2021. The Intown Retreat reflects so much pf what she has cared about for years: community, rest, movement, and creating a physical space where people can feel better in their bodies and more connected to one another. 

Today, that vision has taken shape in a space that offers more than 30 yoga classes each week, massage therapy, a sauna & cold plunge, and a relaxing lounge. It's a lovely place to take a break form the pace of daily life, but also a fun and welcoming place to gather with friends for a celebration or just a day away. 

Cate would love to meet you and give you a tour and invite you to settle into the Lounge with complimentary hot tea and sparking water for as long as you like. Stop by and discover the new third space in Decatur for yourself.
