Get to Know Us

New here? Start here.

The Intown Retreat is a family-owned business, and Decatur's only full-service yoga studio & spa. We offer over 30 yoga classes per week, a team of lovely massage therapists, a sauna & cold plunge, and a relaxing lounge. Above all, we're a supportive, body-positive community of kind-hearted people.

Choose your retreat

Massage and facials, yoga or gatherings in the classroom, or heat and cold in the sauna suite. Not sure? Most people start with a massage.

Book online or call

You can book here on our website, or via the Mindbody app. New to yoga or sauna? Try 30 days unlimited before you commit to anything.

3

Arrive a few minutes early

Give yourself ten minutes to settle in. We'll show you around, and you can get a cup of tea or glass of sparkling water in the Lounge.

Yoga

Over 30 classes a week, from slow and restorative to strong and sweaty. Every level is welcome, and our teachers will meet you where you are.

Massage

Our massage therapists are the very best in town, and they offer a wide range of modalities. Most importantly, they are as friendly as they are skilled. Tell us what your body needs, and we'll match you with the right person.

Sauna + Cold Plunge

A dry cedar sauna and large cold plunge, complete with showers, lockers, and changing rooms. You'll get access to both, and you can even rent the whole space with a few friends.

The Lounge

A quiet, comfortable space to arrive early, linger afterward, or simply sit with a cup of tea. Bring a book, catch up on texts and emails, or make a new friend.

What's new

A few things worth knowing about right now.

Partnership

Announcing our Community Care Program

Proceeds from our Monday 6pm class with Jasmine will now benefit Charis Circle! Founded in 1996, Charis Circle is the non-profit programming arm of Charis Books, the South's oldest independent feminist bookstore.

Parking's on us

We now validate 2 hours of free street parking for everyone visiting the Retreat, in the paid spots next to our building and on the surrounding streets (please do try our lot first!).

Download the Passport Parking app before you head over (future you, running a little late, will thank you!), and ask the front desk for our validation code. Parking is also always free after 6pm and all day Sunday.


A new kind of class

Susan Gonzalez, our aesthetician and the maker of the handmade skincare you’ve seen in the lobby, is leading her first workshop, where you’ll formulate two custom facial oils for winter skin. Limited to 16 participants, with all materials provided.

New in the Lounge

Christina Kwan's abstract works on paper are now hanging in the Lounge. Her bold, calligraphic brushwork explores her Asian-American identity and a search for ancestral ties. The show was curated by our downtown Decatur friends at Cat Eye Creative, so swing by their gallery on Commerce Drive too (and tell them the Retreat sent you).
