This is one of my favorite get-away retreats and the an awesome environment for going deeper in your yoga practice. You won't find a more caring staff to ensure your visit goes well and the food is plentiful and delicious. If you decide to take a workshop, you will learn from the best. The Swamis wh...
This place is amazing. My wife and I just did a 5 day retreat here for the New Year. The experience was beautiful and enlightening. Everything from the talks to the yoga, breathing and meditation sessions, meals and hiking was perfect. A wonderful place to escape from the go go go of everyday life, ...
Great place. Made me want to become a Yogi. I went vegan for 4 days and felt great! Good people!
Been going here on and off for the last couple of years. The best place I can think of if you want to learn about pretty much any kind of spirituality.
One of my favorite places in the whole world. It has been some time since I have been back and I would certainly enjoy Yogaville in the spring. Great yoga classes, both for visitors and those wanting to study yoga at any level, clean comfortable rooms (although I enjoy the camping platforms in the f...
I grew up here so I have to like it. But seriously, it's a lovely place with lovely people. Amazing vegetarian lunches with fresh salad and homemade dressing. Take a walk on the nature trails and go to Lotus for noon meditation.
Experience Yogaville yourself and you will understand why people love it.
Research, please. I went with a friend in 2011. They only want you to stay here to finance their cult. Watch Wild Wild Country on Netflix. It s like the podunk version of that. Grow your practice at a studio or at home...not here, it s just weird and icky.
Always welcoming. Staff and guests friendly & kind.
Lovely location. A true place for a rest.
Beautiful, peaceful, mystical holy place with loving, kind people.
One of my favorite get away place in VA. Beautiful location, very friendly & great atmosphere for a relaxing and spiritual experience. Can't wait to visit this place again
Bought a Groupon last year and spent a weekend w a friend. It was wonderful! Completely unexpected, delightful surprise. The food was very very good, and the surroundings were peaceful. Enjoyed the lectures and the classes.
Found a deal on groupon and went with a few girl friends for a weekend getaway and it turned out to be one of my best weekend retreat ever. People are extremely friendly and there is a reason after knowing the history of the founder and the place. This place has an energy that make people feel love ...
Yogaville is a quiet retreat in central VA, near historic Appomattox. The LOTUS temple houses artifacts and teachings from around 10 religions and is a good place for meditation. Many tourists stay here for weeks doing meditation courses offered.
I have visited Yogavile mainly for the dance progr...
If you take a class with Steffany Moonaz, be prepared to get her pathetic opinions about diversity and a little bit about Yoga. She is using this as her ultra left wing platform to spew her opinions, VERY unprofessional teacher. You have been warned.
I bought a Groupon and had to try it out. The place is like a little world of it's own. It was a little misleading to me on expectations. I expected more yoga and interaction. Not that it wasn't available but on a different level. The yoga offered was more on a meditative level, more of a yin yoga, ...
Satchidananda Ashram Yogaville is exactly what it claims to be, and it does it very well at a excellent price. For that, five stars. Yogaville provides a variety of Hatha yoga classes at different levels, group meditation, spiritual readings and teachings based on but not exclusive to the Hindu trad...
The people are very lovely here but the living conditions are not quite good there s bugs everywhere and they never take out the dead bugs on the window
I just returned from my third trip to Yogaville. The first time I visited here was back in the summer of 2016. I came here at that time for my "Eat, Pray, Love" journey after my divorce. It was really the reset that I needed. Words can't even describe how it has positively impacted my life. Thi...
A true temple to man as Goddess. And God of course. But the Goddess part has been suppressed on purpose until right now!
Beautiful place to visit. Free and open to the public to come and explore, meditate, and relax. Bookstore is very interesting along with a intro video. Lots of programs to try also.
It was a great experience. The Ashram is the place to be to work on yourself with Yoga, pujas, meditation, and self reflection. Walking in nature daily nourished my soul. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Seeing the Lotus at night was a highlight during my stay. The food was awesome ! So fresh, organ...
They are the kindest, sweetest people. Every step of the experience is delightful, from calling for registration through departure. The teachers are knowledgeable, and the food is fresh and delectable! I want to carpool to the yogaville from DC area, leave of Friday and return on Sunday. Please ema...
Great people, excellent immersion into yogic practices. Yogaschittavrittinirodhah Yogahkarmashukaushalam
What a beautiful experience. I took a worship and learned so much.
Horrible. Some people there were good but you will run into dangerous people who if they don t like you for whatever reason will run you out harass threaten and mock you. Certain programs you stay there and dorm with another roommate some of the roommates are racist just like one of the workers that...
This was my second silent retreat at Yogaville. It is such a blessing to be there and to experience this amazing practice. Will be back next year! Thank you!
It s a nice a nice place to spend day off. The view from top were amazing. The lotus flower building is also very nice. It s a total relaxing place.
I have visited Yogaville several times over the last four years. Their Welcome weekend program is a great introduction to real yoga and ashram living. It starts with a Friday pm yoga nidra and includes guided meditations and talks from senior Swamis (monks), gentle hatha yoga classes, ashram tours ...
A very serious religious ashram providing yoga classes
I love this place. Yogaville offers quality instruction, lovely people, very mindful and caring. It lives up to its aspiration as a place to heal, to learn, to become "one" with all that is. Very profound. If you are not a vegetarian and you are staying a full week, be aware regarding the food. It...
Beautiful, peaceful place with the most friendly people.
I recently attended a 3-day workshop to celebrate my birthday weekend. I met so many wonderful people - and so many fellow Libras! - this will definitely be an annual destination for rest, renewal and Spiritual growth. While it is a full day's drive from Cincinnati, the trek is beautiful with minima...
A heavenly, peaceful location! The accomadations were nice, the food was wonderful, and the people are loving and giving. It is scenic and refreshing.
A nice day trip, A religious theme Yoga and farming. Set near the James River and a Mountain backdrop, they welcome everyone. The people are very friendly and helpful.
This place is very rustic. Our room had tons of lady bugs and stink bugs. The food is all vegan and not many choices. There are meditation and yoga classes offered but we were too turned off by the food and room that we left after 1 night. They did offer us a full refund which was nice. If you are a...
This is a haven for the first time visitor as well as the long time spiritual student. The Ashram is a place to learn how to practice the universal spiritual teachings under the guidance of Sri Swami Satchidananda and his senior devotees and the monastics directly trained by him. Swami Satchidana...
Beautiful place, people, food and experience. I feel a deep sense of connection and renewal.
Hair Om!
Yogaville is like home. Last year I went as a guest and then went back for the LYT program, which I recommend to any spiritual seeker. It was an indescribable experience. I miss my LYT family and all the friends I made. Whenever you go to yogaville, have your heart opened to absorb all the...
I went there in September as I got a Groupon deal for welcome weekend. I just wanted to get away from DC to a peaceful place. The place is exactly what I expected , calm and peaceful. Three organic meals a day are included along with your stay, the food is great.I was able to attend 2 yoga classes a...
The staff are so friendly. Would love to recommend this to everyone
Yogaville is a quiet, peaceful,meditative place for rest, relaxation and renewal.
I have been going there at least twice a year since 2003. The ashram residents are friendly, helpful,very aware and a joy to be around. I love Yogaville and highly recommend a visit whenever the spirit moves you.

This is my first time visiting. It was a one day trip and we brought our own food. it was about 3 hours and it felt so relaxing here. I loved all the shrines here and also the meditation. Hari OM
Amazing food, classes, people, and overall a relaxing and enjoyable few days that flew by.
A true sanctuary for sincere seekers. Amazing yoga teachers, divine sacred meditation spaces, and delicious food. Really really really delicious food! I love you, Yogaville.
Hi , i was there on august 29th saturday with my mom. we came all the way from DC ,drove almost 4 hours to reach there because we lost our way . The website and signage there clearly says the temple closes at 6 pm. we reached there 5:30 ,firstly went to the visitor center and the lady was very nice...
Peaceful, good programs , reasonable, prices. Good vegetarian food
If you enjoy yoga, this is the place for you! Great classes and instructors. Beautiful surroundings.
As awesome as Yogaville is for an Ashram not all of the programs and classes accommodate or care for people with handicaps or disabilities. I had the unfortunate displeasure to meet Hope Mel before the Joint Freeing class. As I was explaining my back problems and addiction to pain medication, she wa...
It was a peaceful weeklong getaway with yoga, meditation and wonderful nature hikes! the food was sumptuous. Wonderful!
My wife and I were there at the dedication and now they have got beautiful rooms for staying over in the evening, they have vegetarian meals, lovely with the James River overlooks of the river, wonderful programs.
My stay here was relaxed and easy. Good accommodations especially for the price and great food! Enjoyed a surprise (to me) talk by Tenzin Rinpoche and got the feeling that one can never be too sure just what will happen there! Jai!
I was reminiscing of my stay here with my mother years ago, when I was 10 or less, and it was one of the best few days of my life. I was opposed to going at first, but the Ashram opened me up to yoga and meditation. All the instructors were extremely kind, and I'm planning on going back when I'm 18 ...
Beautiful loving supportive mindful environment. I camped here 28 days during the living yoga program and really enjoyed it.
Yogaville is an amazing peaceful place to be at with very kind, compassionate and supportive staff, instructors and teachers. The wisdom and wealth of knowledge that can be obtained through teachers are priceless and I am so honored for the opportunity to spend some time there.
Interesting place to visit. Beautiful grounds overlooking the James River.
The Home of Swami Satchidananda and a Busy Ashram open to Interested Guests of All Backgrounds. Please call for times. MUST SEE: The LOTUS Shrine...
A Wonder of the Natural World.
Om Shanti... Peace be with You...
