The double is a shared room, and the cost is per person.  If you are not booking with a friend or family member, a roommate will be assigned.  Pleasant and simple lodging, our Om Cabins are the original tent cabins that were built about 20 years ago.  They are placed in a peaceful and tranquil setting, on a gentle hillside overlooking the pond and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ashram. Each cabin is named for a different virtue, such as happiness or contentment. Each cabin is furnished with a dresser, desk, night stand, ceiling fan and propane heater. Om Cabin guests share a nearby bathhouse.  Wifi internet is available.

A True Ashram Experience – Exactly What I Needed
This was exactly the recharge I wanted and needed. The grounds are beautiful, the staff was incredibly helpful and supportive, and The Bliss treatment truly lived up to its name. I left feeling renewed and would absolutely return. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking a real ashram experience—just make sure that's what you're actually looking for.

The Sivananda Yoga Farm delivers exactly what it promises: an authentic ashram experience with chanting, meditation, two vegetarian meals daily, and modest dress code expectations. This isn't a luxury resort—it's a genuine spiritual retreat, and all of this is clearly stated upfront. Do yourself a favor and read the daily routine and expectations before booking. If you embrace what they offer, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing family camp!
Family Camp allowed us to immerse, as a family, in every aspect of Yoga. In addition, I found I had plenty of time to explore my own process in relationship to Yoga and the Yoga lifestyle since there was much support with the kiddos. I connected deeply with many of the families and feel so grateful to the staff. my son had a blast and experienced emotional growth as a result of being surrounded by love and healthy lifestyle all week long. We will definitely be back next year!

Rejuvenation and Inspiration
It was a short trip, just 2 days and nights, but it shifted me in a new direction. I really enjoyed the morning and evening Satsang, the vegetarian food was such a nourishing treat (and 2 meals daily was plenty), the yoga was very relaxing to the nervous system and I could tap into the subtle energy shifting in me. Met lovely humans from lands near and far. Loved the beautiful property/animals. The Shiva cabin was uplifting and comfy. Ayurveda workshop was very informative. I am inspired tremendously by the kirtan and look forward to finding a community to chant with at home. I’ll be back for sure. Om Navah Shivaya!

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.
