Reflect deeply, renew your inspiration, and restore yourself in the sanctuary and solace of the Integral Yoga community during the annual New Year’s Silent Retreat.

Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville is a perfect setting for an inner journey. Integral Yoga Silent Retreats take place in a serene oasis nestled near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This restorative environment nurtures your connection with inner stillness.

Take time to step back from the demands of daily life and reconnect with your inner peace. Through the practices of mouna (silence) and Yoga in a tranquil environment, you will become reacquainted with your true nature of peace and joy.

Join like-minded seekers for a time of self-discovery. The benefits of silence continue long after the retreat ends—you’ll go forward with tools you can use to enjoy a more peaceful, useful, and happy life.
