Testimonials
Beautiful and restorative experience. I was able to reset, rest and access an important part of myself. I feel deeply nourished and ready to reintegrate back into my homelife.
—Claire Pallandre
Yogaville is a safe haven for my soul. Having this rare and beautiful space to rest, to learn and to connect and to grow is a true gift and I am truly grateful. A true escape from my hectic city life. I finally feel like I can breathe. All parts of me feel alive again.
—Elissa Gross
For those searching for some grounding in this day and age, this is for you. Quite often (and I was here for just three days) I found myself smiling for no good reason. There was this sense of joy which I had not witnessed in a while. I’ll be back and I will miss the ashram!
—Sid
In our world, we had become so busy in mind and body. In the silence, we give ourselves permission to become a human “being” rather than a human “doing”. Just be and you can help yourself discover who you really are in the silence.
—Mona Lee
