The Yoga Farm is located in the foothills of California’s Sierra Mountains, situated in the heart of California’s Mother Lode Country. It is surrounded by rolling hills, forests of oak and pine, and clear streams. Here are 70 acres of secluded peace and solitude, where the sounds of nature soothe the mind and body – ideal for yoga retreats and meditation.  In spring and summer yoga classes are held on the outdoor deck shaded by a grove of oak trees.  You can take a meditative walk in our Peace Miracle Labyrinth; casual, contemplative walks around the beautiful 40 acres, and the adjacent 30 acres or hike the 108 steps to Siva hill.  A cedar sauna is open year round.  Pleasant, simple lodging in dorms, double occupancy rooms or cabins.  Our cabins are set on the hillside overlooking the pond and surrounded by the natural beauty of the ashram, providing total peace and tranquility.  If you prefer to sleep closer to nature in the fresh, clean open air you can bring your own camping gear.

The Yoga Retreat is an island paradise with crystal clear water and pure white sands… a true sanctuary of peace and natural beauty. It is located across the bay from Nassau on one of the finest beaches of the world. Five and a half acres of tropical paradise await you where you will find a heaven far from the hectic demands of everyday life.

The Retreat is built around a semi-closed outdoor meditation temple. There are spacious exercise platforms facing the warm blue green water of the Caribbean. Swaying palms provide you with shade and shelter. You can stay in one of our cozy wooden cabins, or if you prefer, you may pitch a tent in the quiet coconut grove. Here is the perfect environment for you to enjoy the warm companionship of like-minded people from around the world.

Pleasant, simple lodgings include a choice of semi-private rooms overlooking the ocean, or comfortable cabins clustered around an oriental-style footbridge. Tents may be pitched in a shady coconut grove. Advanced reservation is necessary. As some categories of accommodation fill quickly, we recommend you reserve early.
