The Yoga Farm Opens in Elizabethton, Expands Wellness Offerings

The modern rural wellness studio is no longer just a room for drop-in classes. In Elizabethton, The Yoga Farm opened with a model built around classes, trainings, bodywork and energy healing, a sign that yoga businesses in smaller markets are increasingly relying on multiple services and community use to make the numbers work.

The new space celebrated its opening with a ribbon cutting on Friday, with WJHL reporting the event on May 11, 2026. The Yoga Farm opened at 256 Slagle Road in Elizabethton, while the Elizabethton Chamber had listed a ribbon-cutting event for May 8 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. The opening marked a visible step for a business that Carrie Maggard said has been shaped by community support and by a long-term vision for healing, connection, education and personal growth. Courtney Bean, the director of Main Street Elizabethton, also pointed to the townwide effect the business could have as it settles into place.

What makes The Yoga Farm stand out is the breadth of what it is offering. Its own site describes it as a whole-body holistic center with yoga, meditation, massage, sound healing, Reiki and more. The Elizabethton Chamber’s business listing expands that list further, adding Thai yoga massage, sound baths, various trainings and walking meditations on the property. The listing also says the studio offers a free-or-donation class on the first Saturday of each month, a detail that reinforces how the business is tying accessibility to its growth.

The address itself shows how locally embedded the business already was before the ribbon cutting. Chamber and Main Street Elizabethton listings place The Yoga Farm at 265 Slagle Rd. in Elizabethton, while WJHL used 256 Slagle Road in its opening coverage. Either way, the property has already served as more than a simple studio. WJHL reported a Slaglefest event there in September 2023, and a 2025 preview called Slaglefest its fifth annual event at The Yoga Farm. A May 2026 event listing also referenced an eighth anniversary event, pointing to years of activity before the new wellness-center framing.

Taken together, those details make the opening less like a debut and more like a formal expansion of an established community hub. In Elizabethton, yoga is now being sold not only as a class, but as a full spectrum of recovery, training and care.
