Sivananda Yoga Ranch

Everyday, we offer two hatha-style yoga classes, two guided meditation sessions, and two vegetarian meals. We also offer special afternoon workshops on yoga philosophy and evening musical concerts throughout the year.

Our traditional Russian Banya, or wood-burning sauna, is a favorite among guests seeking detoxification, wanting to soothe sore muscles, or simply looking for a warm place for reflection. The sauna is open on Saturday and Sunday.

Our Wellness Center is a wonderful addition to your yoga retreat or weekend getaway. Our experienced massage therapists offer a variety of Ayurvedic and Western massage styles. Please call ahead to make an appointment.

Our hiking trail offers a perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and enjoy the natural beauty of the Catskill mountains. The hike is self-guided, and over weekends we offer guided nature walks.

Our onsite boutique offers a vast collection of classical Yoga books from the leading authorities on Yoga, as well a wide selection of Yoga music, meditation tools, and other Yoga products to help you deepen your spiritual practice. Enjoy a diverse selection of health food goodies and yoga accessories, including yoga mats and bags, incense, malas (prayer beads), and decorative items for your home altar.

We have a strong commitment to sustainability. Nearly all of our power is sourced from our on-site solar array, and our passenger van plugs in directly to the solar array to receive it's fuel from the sun. Some of our food is grown in our on-site garden and food forest. All food waste is composted and used to enrich the soil in our garden.

We offer three 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher's Training courses throughout the year. This 4-week course is styled after the ancient Gurukula system in which students live, study, and work with their teachers and fellow students in an ashram. Through hands-on learning and guidance, deepen your practice and gain the skills needed to teach yoga. Our graduates receive an internationally recognized certification through the worldwide Yoga Alliance confirming they have the practical knowledge and experience to teach Hatha Yoga (asanas, pranayama and relaxation).

We offer two buffet-style vegetarian meals at 10am and 6pm. Nearly all of our food is organic and locally-sourced, and some is even grown in our on-site garden. We are happy to accommodate dietary needs such as vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free. If you have specific allergies, please indicate them on your reservation and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Our on-site boutique also sells delicious snacks, drinks, and ice cream.

We are located in Woodbourne, NY, a 2-hour drive from New York City. Free on-site parking is available. We are also accessible by bus from the Port Authority station in New York City. Please contact us for specific bus times and instructions.
