Eating a plant-based diet has been conclusively shown to be good for health and well-being. Furthermore, it is detoxifying and nutritive at the same time. In addition, the meals are freshly prepared with love and care by dedicated karma yogis. Also, the ashram uses mostly organic, locally produced fruits and vegetables. The buffet meals offered are lacto-vegetarian. We also have a permaculture vegetable garden and grow some of our own food and flowers. Please note that meat, fish, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, black tea, and eggs are not served in the ashram. The meals are offered at 10:00 am and 6:00 pm with a small fruit snack served in the afternoon. Additional snacks are available in the boutique if needed. In case you have any special dietary restrictions please mention so on your application form and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Will return

Was apprehensive of going because of my health conditions and reserved only for two nights. Regret that very much as I wished I stayed longer. The staff are very understanding, attentive to your needs and kind. I feel much better even with only two days. Thank you for the gita lessons, the satsang and even Karma yoga. I feel blessed.

Sivananda Yoga Farm

It's 2021 now, but 2007 was my first introduction to the Sivananda Yoga Farm where my heart and soul were touched immediately. Thereafter attended many workshops, conferences and graduated from TTC in 2009. These experiences changed my philosophy and attitude to one of service especially for the disabled, elderly, and my mother, over a profession.

My mother passed a few years ago but am so thankful we spent quality years together prior. I thank Sivananda Yoga Farm and Swami Sita for this. Her influence and the Sivananda teachings made a tremendous difference in my life and in my mother's end. My Mom said to me "the biggest change in you is your belief in God, and I never thought about the time before Jesus".

We shared such Peace. OmOmOm!

Glories of the Upanishads

It was a joy to study the Mandukya Upanishad on line at Sivananda Ashram. Learning about the three states of being i.e., waking, dreaming and deep sleep state and their repeating cycle of evolution and de-evolution was most intriguing.

Yoga in Transition and Crisis Management with Swami Jnaneswariananda Saraswati

This was a wonderful interactive course where Swami Jnaneswariananda gently but firmly taught the significance of becoming a silent witness to our instinctual emotions, thus allowing us to develop our intuition of all one consciousness. And in that process to be aware of the "pitfall" of justifying our emotions by reasoning.

Mission & Vision

Welcome to your yoga retreat in the beautiful Sierra foothills of Northern California! Since 1971, the Sivananda Yoga Farm has been an oasis of peace and tranquility for people from all walks of life to come and find themselves.

Yoga and meditation are the most effective methods to recharge the body and mind and relieve the tension and stress of modern life. Take time to slow down, enjoy nature and reconnect to a wholesome way of life, re-inspire with new thoughts and perspectives, uplift your spirit with daily chanting, and apply techniques to increase your awareness and joy.

Come for a Yoga vacation of a few days or weeks and gradually walk the path towards the deeper aspects of Yoga – from improving fitness and relaxing to maintaining health, calming the mind, and even becoming a counselor and Yoga teacher for others.
