Details to Note

All meals are strictly vegetarian. Our kitchen uses fresh, high quality ingredients, incorporating organic and local products whenever possible, in lovingly prepared menus. We can accommodate most special dietary needs and requests.

We are unable to provide laundry facilities due to limited water resources and a commitment to stewardship of the land that sustains us. An outside company provides laundry service, including pickup and delivery, once a week.

Our resident staff are students of yoga who offer friendly, efficient service. If you would like to learn more about what the Center has to offer, we encourage you to make an appointment for a visit, so that you can experience for yourself the quality of the facilities, food, setting, and staff.
