Testimonials

My time at Yogaville for a Personal Retreat was exactly what I wanted and needed: peaceful and relaxing. I was able to create my own schedule based around the activities and options available, meet and interact with residents, learn more about the Ashram and community, visit LOTUS, walk the grounds, take time for myself, and experience the tranquility of the area. Thank you to everyone who made my stay magical. I hope to be back soon.

You can feel the sacredness of this place even before you reach the last turn into the campus I only spent a days there and I feel that I am forever changed because of the short interactions I had with the dedicated people there being at the LOTUS (Light of Truth Universal Shrine) and also looking down on it from the high hill above it gave me an incredible sense of connection with the Divine. I highly recommend this place to anyone of any faith. — Laura Baker Anderle

You can tell this is truly a spiritual community because of the way the people take care of you and take care of the ashram.  From the person who checks you in, to the swami that leads the meditation, or the teachers in the many yoga classes,  love and peacefulness abounds. You can see it on everyone’s face.  It doesn’t take long before you, too, are reconnected with that which is your own true nature—that same love and peacefulness. — Micheal and Kathy Murphy
