“This was in our bucket list for a long time and finally we visited this weekend. The setting is beautiful and serene, we were privileged to have joined the meditation session, it was sublime to say the least. The lotus shrine is a must visit. The lunch was delicious. We also went hiking afterwards, a must visit.”

“12 out of 10! What an amazing place! I went for Krishna Das and fell in love. Amazing staff who went above and beyond, amazing vibes, amazing yoga, amazing programs, amazing food and a soul cleansing weekend of chants and concerts! It was so good that I actually started crying when I was leaving and had to call my wife so we could laugh at the situation. Thank you, Yogaville. Thank you Krishna Das. I will be back ASAP. You are all beautiful, kind souls.”

“What an incredible week. And I could talk all about the beautiful scenery, the lovely organic food, and the amazing classes. But the energy there is what really makes it so special and so different from regular yoga retreats. The energy of Swami sivananda, and Swami Satchidananda permeate throughout the Ashram. Being here brought me great clarity about questions I had in a transition period of my life the Swami’s there were wonderful, and our truly embodying the teachings. This is the real deal! Stay for as long as you can.”

“I went there in September as I got a Groupon deal for welcome weekend. I just wanted to get away from DC to a peaceful place. The place is exactly what I expected , calm and peaceful. Three organic meals a day are included along with your stay, the food is great.I was able to attend 2 yoga classes and 1 mediation class. Only downside is all the programs are scheduled between 6 am to 5 pm so you will not be able to attend all of them because most of them are scheduled at same time.You have to pick one which is important to you.”
